In the coming years you will be hearing more about Supply Chain Sustainability or the Green Sustainable Supply Chain. A Green Sustainable Supply Chain can be defined as the process of using environmentally friendly inputs and transforming these inputs through change agents - whose byproducts can improve or be recycled within the existing environment. This process develops outputs that can be reclaimed and re-used at the end of their life-cycle thus, creating a sustainable supply chain. The whole idea of a green sustainable supply chain is to reduce costs while helping the environment. This book examines the impact sustainability has within the supply chain, what companies are doing within the supply chain to become green and how supply chain processes are changing because of green initiatives. The Green Sustainable Supply Chain is a very intriguing subject and is quickly becoming a prodigious focus for countless industries.
