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...

Producer responsibility in a sustainable development context: ecological modernisation or industrial ecology? (2009)
Journal Article
Deutz, P. (2009). Producer responsibility in a sustainable development context: ecological modernisation or industrial ecology?. The Geographical journal, 175(4), 274-285. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4959.2009.00330.x

The concept of producer responsibility has become a major tenet of EU waste management policy. It forms part of an effort to set a regulatory context for firms supportive of sustainable development. Two contrasting notions of the theory and implement... Read More about Producer responsibility in a sustainable development context: ecological modernisation or industrial ecology?.

Reflections on implementing industrial ecology through eco-industrial park development (2007)
Journal Article
Gibbs, D., & Deutz, P. (2007). Reflections on implementing industrial ecology through eco-industrial park development. Journal of cleaner production, 15(17), 1683-1695. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2007.02.003

This paper investigates whether eco-industrial parks (EIPs) offer possibilities to implement sustainable development policies. EIPs are based upon industrial ecology principles that suggest industrial systems can operate in a similar fashion to natur...

Implementing industrial ecology? Planning for eco-industrial parks in the USA (2004)
Journal Article
Gibbs, D., & Deutz, P. (2005). Implementing industrial ecology? Planning for eco-industrial parks in the USA. Geoforum, 36(4), 452-464. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2004.07.009

Despite the widespread incorporation of sustainable development into policy discourses, actually achieving the 'win-win-win' scenario of economic, environmental and social development continues to be problematic. Advocates of industrial ecology sugge... Read More about Implementing industrial ecology? Planning for eco-industrial parks in the USA.

A 'symbiosis effect' perspective to understand reverse logistics and household recycling waste systems
Book Chapter
Deutz, P., Grant, D., Nicholson, J., & A-Jalil, E. E. A 'symbiosis effect' perspective to understand reverse logistics and household recycling waste systems.

Paper presented at 19th ISL, 2014, Ho Chi Minh The essence of the problem with waste is that it is by definition something that is not wanted. We argue here that achieving a sustainable solution requires consideration of both regulatory responsibilit...
