Nine major comprehensive, overlapping,boundaries were defined and research

and practice pertinent to theseboundaries were identified.

As part of the systemic perspective, fivemajor and inter-related flows that green

supply chains need to manage within theboundaries are identified.

IntroductionWhat is greensupply chain

the process ofusing environmentally

friendly inputs and transforming theseinputs into outputs that can be

reclaimed and re-used at the end oftheir lifecycle thus, creating a

sustainable supply chain (Patrick,2007)

What is sustainable?

Meeting the current needs without

hindering the future needs in termsof economic, environmental &

social challenges (EPA, 2005)

Environmental ManagementSystems (EMS)

Environmental management system (EMS) refers to themanagement of an organization's environmental

programs in a comprehensive, systematic, plannedand documented manner.

EMS adopters are engaging their supply chains byinstituting procedures to assess theirsuppliersenvironmental influences, requiring suppliers to

minimize their environmental impacts, tracking wastein their operating systems, adopting their own EMS, andinforming buyers of ways to minimize theirenvironmental impact (Darnall et al., 2008; Gonzalezet al., 2008).

Industrial Ecology & Industrial

Symbiosis

Within industrial symbiosis the goal is tomake waste flows into value adding flows

of material, energy and other productiveresources.

Product Stewardship & ExtendedProduct Responsibility

Product stewardship is the management of aproduct throughout its life cycle including its

distribution, usage and disposal typicallyassociated with extended producerresponsibility (Yu et al., 2008).

Product stewardship requires that an

organization manage its products andinvolve members of its supply chain

Life Cycle Analysis

Is the improvement, relationships, andinformation related to the management

of products and materials and theirsources and impacts throughout aproducts life cycle (Linnanen, 1995).

Eco-design & Design for theEnvironment

DFE can be defined as a methodologydirected at the systematic reduction or

elimination of the environmental impactsimplicated in the whole life cycle of aproduct, from the extraction of rawmaterials to disposal.

This methodology is based on evaluatingthe potential impacts throughout the entirecourse of the design process.

Green supply chains: aboundaries perspective

Supply chains consist of and span manyboundaries. To effectively manage the

environmental aspects of supply chains,policy makers, organizations, andmanagers need to understand variousreaches of supply chains and their

environmental implications over theseboundaries.

3. Political Boundaries4. Informational Boundaries

5. Temporal Boundaries

6. Legal Boundaries

7. Cultural Boundaries8. Economic Boundaries

Green Supply Chain Flows

1. Material Flows

Parts, components, raw material & finished goods

2. Service Flows

Energy

3. Financial Flows

Capital/money

4. Information & Knowledge Flows

5. Waste Flows

1. Inter-Dependency

The interaction and effectiveness of green

supply chain management through the joint

adoption of other environmental practicessuch as environmental management systems

and eco-design will be influenced by the type

of boundaries that are limiting the scope of

these practices.Determine the scales of boundaries

identification is trivial/important.

20/22

Theory application anddevelopment

Ecological modernization theory (Bergeret al., 2001; Welford and Hills, 2003) which

arises from the policy literature, also canbe used to help identify various boundaryrelationships and the management offlows.

Green supply to greendemand

Emphasize more green demand by thecustomer instead of green supply.
