واقع تبني المسؤولية البيئية في المنظمات الصناعية : دراسة ميدانية على مستوى مؤسسة فرتيال عنابة = The Reality of Adopting the Environmental Responsibility in Industrial Company : Case Study Fertial Company for Petrochemical Fertilizer Industry in Algeria
This article outlines a socio-political theory appropriate for the study of the ecological repercussions of contemporary media technologies. More specifically, this approach provides a means of assessing the material impacts of media technologies and the representations of capitalist ecological crises. This approach builds on the work of ecological economists, ecosocialist scholars, and Marx’s writings on the conditions of production to argue that capitalism necessarily results in ecological destabilization. Taking Apple’s 2016 Environmental Responsibility Report as a case study, the article uses the theory to analyze Apple’s responses to ecological crises. The article asserts that Apple’s reactions are emblematic of the capitalist compulsion for increasing rates of productivity. However, unless the matter/energy savings achieved through higher rates of productivity surpass the overall increase in the flow of matter/energy in production, ecological crises will continue. Ultimately, capital accumulation ensures continued ecological destabilization.
Purpose
However, due to the huge number of studies and on the other hand to be new and creative, the represented models and methods – as the two main parts of this field – have been got more complicated, which consequently have been turned into unpractical research studies for the realistic situations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the representation of a novel and simple method to deal with the aforementioned gap.
Design/methodology/approach
To this end, Fazl-Tash method have been proposed, in which a thorough and complete model including 114 criteria and a simple technique to rank and select the best supplier have been presented. Sustainability and resiliency are considered in collecting criteria effective on supplier selection.
Findings
The method was carried out in a case study in an industrial company. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated in comparison with other conventional approaches.
Originality/value
As selecting the supplier plays a crucial role to bring some important advantages for companies, such as coping with the cost and time problems and influencing the majority of contemporary markets’ requirements, in recent years, there have been representing more effective studies in the supplier selection literature.
In-plant control in a superphosphate fertilizer company in Egypt was implemented. The control measures in the plant included utilization of wastewater produced from the scrubbing towers to produce sodium fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) which is a preservative for Portland cement. Wastewater recovery reduced the pollution amount by 40%. Moreover, it saves almost 600,000 L.E./year. The remained unwanted residue which is a very concentrated highly acidic wastewater was diluted with wasted cooling water in the plant. The proposed study is already implemented and is presently in operation.
