Effects of supply chain practices, integration and closed-loop supply chain activities on cost-containment of biodiesel

Recent research has pointed out that non-technical problems, rather than technical problems, are mainly responsible for the obstacles facing the development of the biodiesel industry. The present study focused on one such important non-technical problem: that of supply chain practices. More specific...
