Abstract
With the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11,
2011, our daily life notices that supply chains are so
important and fragile and also that there are still challenges
how to harmonize and visualize the environmental issues
and the supply chains. One of the reasons is that products
with manufacturing by the supply chains inevitably
consume natural resources for materials and energy and
put out CO2 throughout their whole product lifecycle.
Therefore, closed-loop and low-carbon supply chains
should be designed environmentally and economically.
This lecture focuses on the environmental issues
and the supply chains with the product lifecycle, and
overviews the designs and challenges of the closed-loop
and the low-carbon supply chains from a perspective of
sustainable manufacturing.

CO2 Reduction Problem
for Global Warming
• Global warming by increasing CO2
emissions causes climate changes.
• In production and logistics, products
inevitably consume natural resources for
materials and energy throughout their
product lifecycle.
(C) 2012 Tetsuo YAMADA
10
3R Problem
for Material Circulation
• Material demands for products and services
are increasing by developed global population
and economy.
• Natural resources for material and energy is
decreasing, and pollution and waste problems
get more serious.
• In production and logistics, products and
services are made by processing materials.
=> Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
(C) 2012 Tetsuo YAMADA
11
Environmental Management
and Environmental Accounting
(Kokubu et al., 2007)
• Environmental Management
Every activity in a company considers
environment.
Managerial Purpose
=> More Profit
Environmental Considerations => High Cost?
• Environmental Accounting
Environment and Management are integrated
by the environmental accounting because the
profit is calculated by the accounting.

Manufacturing should be more
environmentally conscious for
sustainability (Seliger, 2007).
• Products by manufacturing inevitably consume
natural resources for materials and energy
throughout their product lifecycle.
• Not to become more serious for the environmental
issues, it is necessary for manufacturing to minimize
the material and energy consumptions during the
whole product lifecycle.

Ecodesign (EuP 2005, ErP 2009)
European Commission, Enterprise and Industry, “Ecodesign
Your Future-How Ecodesign can help the environment by
making products smarter”, available at
ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/sustainablebusiness/ecodesign/index_en.htm on Jan 18, 2012
• All products have an impact on the environment during
their life-cycle spanning all phases from cradle to grave,
such as the use of raw materials and natural resources,
manufacturing, packaging, transport, disposal and
recycling.
• More than 80% of the environmental impact of a product
is determined at the design stage.
• Ecodesign implies taking into account all
the environmental impacts of a product
right from the earliest
stage of design. 17

Sustainable Manufacturing
• Definition by National Council for Advanced
Manufacturing in U.S. Department of Commerce
“The creation of manufactured products that
use processes that are non-polluting, conserve
energy and natural resources, and are
economically sound and safe for employees,
communities, and consumers.”
=> Harmonize environment and economy
in the supply chains.

Japanese Cases
for EOL Assembly Products
• Those factories have already been constructed and
are being operated to produce and recover various
kinds of End of Lifecycle (EOL) assembly products.
Ex.
Recycling Cameras, Copiers, Computers
TVs, Refrigerators, Washing Machines,
Air Conditioners, Cellular phones, Automobiles
• Survey for Japanese Cases
12 Japanese Recycling Plants were
actually visited by the author from 2002 to 2010.

There are a few cases for reuse:
Economic Difficulties in Disassembly
• The market values for the collected
products have the obsolescence due to
the long length of product lifecycle even if
they can be reused technically.
Ex. 10 years for washing machine and
refrigerators
• The recycling by remanufacturing and
disassembly systems are still necessary
for the economic material circulation.
(C) 2011 Tetsuo YAMADA
36
Economic factory design with
product recovery values
Profit
= Revenue
- Cost
Part/material values Disassembly times
• Product issue: Revenue
The metal materials are economically derived from
shredding after expensive manual disassembly. The
disassembly treatments depend on the fluctuating prices
for recycled metal materials.
• System issue: Cost
Non-destructive manual disassembly should be
necessary but expensive to keep product recovery
values.

instead of the destructive disassembly.
• Product Recovery Values for Parts/Materials by Line balancing
