The aim of the paper is to investigate how environmental policies affect the production–inventory decisions of a firm. Optimal control theory is applied to analyze optimal production policies. The environmental policy investigated in the paper is a combined emission charges and limits policy. The paper modifies the results of Wirl for the case of this combined policy.
