DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION
For the green rubber tire supply chain, all activities in the supply chain affect the greenness of the supply chain. Thus, every single part of the entire supply chain must be green or taking environmental impact into account. Green rubber tire supply chain relies on green purchasing, green production, green packaging, green transportation and green reverse logistics. The major concerns regarding green purchasing is the use and inbound logistics of raw materials. For the green production, the process should be design to lessen the use of energy and the preventive maintenance should be applied. Green packaging should focus on reducing the use of materials where possible and the selection of proper types and thickness of materials. Greening the distribution practice concentrates on fuel consumption and the use of cleaner fuel. Lastly, the green reverse logistics consider reuse of scraps or other materials where possible. This project can be enhanced by cooperating the expert’s opinion with carbon footprint. The combination between green supply chain assessment matrix and carbon footprint calculation could make the assessment more convincing.
