As a result of growing environmental issues and stringent carbon emission (CEM) regulations imposed throughout the globe, low CEM has become one of the essential requirements of manufacturing industries. Low-carbon manufacturing, which aims to reduce carbon intensity and improve process efficiency, has evolved as emerging issue that has encouraged a lot of research into quantifying the CEM of different manufacturing processes. To comply with increasingly stringent CEM regulations and achieve low carbon manufacturing, manufacturing industries require accurate CEM data for their products.

Despite this domain gaining prolific attention recently, issues hampering the effective utilization of residues from fish processing usually go unidentified in developing economies such as India. This occurs mainly owing to fragmented supply chains, inappropriate handling, discontinuous cold chains, inadequate temperature monitoring and so on, affecting quality and causing underuse.

The design of an e-waste collection policy is challenging, especially for a country like India, where the economy is a developing state, and there is a large diversity in socio-economic factors. The e-waste collection policy impacts the various stakeholders such as the manufacturer, the raw material producers, the assemblers, the retailers, the generator (households and bulk consumers), the scrap dealers, the smelters, the recyclers, and the regulators. The design of an e-waste collection policy needs to consider the appropriate set of Critical Success Factors (CSFs), which will maximise the e-waste collection providing business sustainability to the stakeholders while satisfying the environmental regulations in the operating locations.
