Food for thought: seeking the essence of Industrial Symbiosis (2014)
Book Chapter
Deutz, P. (2014). Food for thought: seeking the essence of Industrial Symbiosis. In R. Salomone, & G. Saija (Eds.), Pathways to Environmental Sustainability : Methodologies and Experiences (3-11). Springer Publishing Company. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-03826-1_1

Researchers and practitioners would benefit from a definition of industrial symbiosis which clearly distinguishes essential from contingent characteristics. The definition also needs to be translatable between both language and policy contexts. Indus... Read More about Food for thought: seeking the essence of Industrial Symbiosis.

A software based simulation for cleaner production: A game between manufacturers and government (2012)
Journal Article
Zhao, R., Neighbour, G., McGuire, M., & Deutz, P. (2013). A software based simulation for cleaner production: A game between manufacturers and government. Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 26(1), 59-67. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlp.2012.09.006

This paper shows how game theory could be applied to better assess the various strategies available to government and manufacturers to promote more environmentally friendly products through cleaner production by examining several different game scena...

Eco-design practice in the context of a structured design process: an interdisciplinary empirical study of UK manufacturers (2012)
Journal Article
Deutz, P., McGuire, M., & Neighbour, G. (2013). Eco-design practice in the context of a structured design process: an interdisciplinary empirical study of UK manufacturers. Journal of cleaner production, 39, 117-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2012.08.035

Environmental design (eco-design) has been identified in both academic and policy circles as a point of intervention in the product lifecycle to promote environmental performance. The benefit of eco-design would be enhanced by rooting it firmly withi...

Using game theory to describe strategy selection for environmental risk and carbon emissions reduction in the green supply chain (2012)
Journal Article
Zhao, R., Neighbour, G., Han, J., McGuire, M., & Deutz, P. (2012). Using game theory to describe strategy selection for environmental risk and carbon emissions reduction in the green supply chain. Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 25(6), 927-936. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlp.2012.05.004

This paper provides an approach in the context of green supply chain management, using game theory to analyze the strategies selected by manufacturers to reduce life cycle environmental risk of materials and carbon emissions. Through the application... Read More about Using game theory to describe strategy selection for environmental risk and carbon emissions reduction in the green supply chain.

A class-based analysis of sustainable development: developing a radical perspective on environmental justice (2012)
Journal Article
Deutz, P. (2014). A class-based analysis of sustainable development: developing a radical perspective on environmental justice. Sustainable Development, 22(4), 243-252. https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.1528

Recent resurgence of interest in social aspects of sustainability has enjoined with on-going debates on environmental justice and equity. However, discussions on the socio-geographic distribution of environmental (dis-) benefits have substantially ov...

Carbon emissions intensity ratio: An indicator for an improved carbon labelling scheme (2012)
Journal Article
Zhao, R., Deutz, P., Neighbour, G., & McGuire, M. (2012). Carbon emissions intensity ratio: An indicator for an improved carbon labelling scheme. Environmental Research Letters, 7(1), Article 014014. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/7/1/014014

This letter proposes a new carbon labelling scheme to improve the visibility of products' life cycle carbon emissions (sometimes defined as carbon footprint). This approach starts by normalizing carbon emissions data on a common scale of 'carbon emis... Read More about Carbon emissions intensity ratio: An indicator for an improved carbon labelling scheme.

Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach (2012)
Journal Article
Zhao, R., Neighbour, G., Deutz, P., & McGuire, M. (2012). Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach. Materials and Design, 37, 429-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2012.01.014

This paper demonstrates an integrated approach to the selection of materials for cleaner production, using binary dominance matrix and grey relational analysis to aid decision-making by engineers. The starting point of this study is to determine the... Read More about Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach.

Preliminary study of hazardous materials management: An optimization model in the context of green supply chain management (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhao, R., Neighbour, G., & Deutz, P. (2011, May). Preliminary study of hazardous materials management: An optimization model in the context of green supply chain management. Presented at 5th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, iCBBE 2011, Wuhan, China

Although the general framework of supply chain management usually focuses on the production process, as well as the delivery of the product to the market and the consumers, the treatment and disposal of waste materials is usually given little deliber...

Integrating sustainable waste management into product design: Sustainability as a functional requirement (2010)
Journal Article
Deutz, P., Neighbour, G., & McGuire, M. (2010). Integrating sustainable waste management into product design: Sustainability as a functional requirement. Sustainable Development, 18(4), 229 - 239. https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.469

Municipal waste management is, by definition, spatially organized. In the United Kingdom the national government designates waste collection and disposal responsibilities to the various scales of local government. However, whilst the highest aim of w...
