Carbon footprint and setup cost reduction in glass manufacturing industry and its raw material supply chain.

The environmental pillar of sustainability is one of the important parameters for analyzing the success of supply chain management. Customers are becoming environmentally conscious and manufacturers invest in green technologies, which influence their purchasing behaviour. Since manufacturing industries are the major contributors to the greenhouse gas emission due to large and over-consumption of non-renewable sources. Even though, they produce a huge amount of waste and harm gases in the environment. In the present article, a logarithmic investment is considered for reducing the carbon emission from different services - manufacturing and haulage of the final product of a glass manufacturing industry. Moreover, the supply chain of raw materials to manufacture the glass product and final product is considered under dual channel strategy. In an uncertain environment, the rate of demand is taken as a triangular fuzzy number in the present model. The principal concern of the research is to escalate the total yield with realistic factors and simultaneously diminishing carbon emissions from the services of the supply. For validating the proposed model numerical examination, comparison, and analysis of sensitivity are carried out. Results reflect that there is approximately a 73% decrease in the carbon emission and about a 15% increase in the profit with the investment in the reduction of CO2 emission. Moreover, with the investment in setup cost, there is an increase in the profit of the firm in comparison to the literature. Additionally, as the gulf betwixt the core and personalized products selling price overshoot the threshold limit then there is approximately a 19% increase in the shifting of customers between the channels.
