Abstract

Appropriate measurement of environmental performance and emission allowances in circular economy is of great significance for promoting sustainable development. Due to the vagueness involved in many circular indicators, a fuzzy network data envelopment analysis model for the carbon emission abatement (CEA) allocation of a recycling production system is proposed in this work. The proposed model employed the concept of environmental efficiency analysis while allocating the optimal CEA levels from a circular economy perspective. An empirical application to the CEA allocation of European Union (EU) countries is studied. Our results provide the EU policy makers and legislators a valuable information for emission allowances management in a fuzzy environment.
