Environmental issues fixative-related

A maleic anhydride SC case study is presented where two potential technologies are available. Two problems were solved, a first approach that did not consider CO2 trading scheme and a second one (see Sect. 6.4.1), that took it into account. A SC for MA production based on butane was found to be more environmentally friendly than one based on benzene. Most works related to SC and environmental issues consider a fixed production/demand, but it was demonstrated that such constraint leads to dominated solutions. By allowing unsatisfied demand, the actual Pareto curve was obtained. 

Thematic analysis also showed that the most frequently identified issues are environmental - the physical space and design of the hospital accoimted for just over 25 percent of all issues identified, followed by equipment (23 percent) and clinical processes (20 percent). Many of these issues were unresolvable within the one month time frame set because they related to the environment in which healthcare teams work. They are therefore not easily fixed.
