In today‘s world, highly competitive global operating environment have much concerns as well as attention is focused in the direction of climatic changes and additional ecological concerns. These concerns are not only articulated by campaigners or researchers, but by the common man as well, which has directed to the ultimatum for corporations to take action for sustainability. The public gradually holds corporations responsible for ecological misconduct in their supply chains. To counterbalance that threat companies, start fresh approaches to develop sustainable supply chain. In spite of that suppliers often are unsuccessful to appropriately contribute fresh approaches. This paper presents an approach which evaluates sustainable supplier's performance in supply chain management (SCM) using Differential Evolution to select the efficient suppliers providing the maximum fulfillment for the sustainable criteria determined. Finally, three illustrative cases on automotive & pulp and paper industry validate the application of the present approach.

Agricultural residues and energy crops are promising resources that can be utilized in the pulp and paper industry. This study examines the potential of co-cooking nonwood materials with hardwoods as means to incorporate nonwood material into a paper furnish. Specifically, miscanthus, switchgrass, and corn stover were substituted for poplar hardwood chips in the amounts of 10 wt %, 20 wt %, and 30 wt %, and the blends were subjected to kraft pulping experiments. The pulps were then bleached with an OD(EP)D sequence and then refined and formed into handsheets to characterize their physical properties. Surprisingly, all three co-cooked pulps showed improved strength properties (up to 35%). Sugar measurement of the pulps by high-performance liquid chromatography suggested that the strength increase correlated with enriched xylan content.
