A first-order supply chain is characterized by the use of non-renewable and non-recyclable materials, whereas sustainable supply chain management is characterized by the use of renewable and recyclable resources. The convergence of supply chains and sustainability are taken into account. As a result, the emphasis on environmental management and operations shifts from local optimization of environmental aspects to consideration of the entire supply chain throughout product manufacturing, consumption, customer service, and post-disposal disposition. This is an important and timely topic that reflects growing concerns about sustainability, whether driven by existing legislation, public interest, or competitive potential. The objective of this paper is to outline the various facets of sustainable supply chain management. As a result, sustainable development is a fertile ground for an academic study that has the potential to influence future government policy, existing manufacturing processes, and the identification of new business models. This paper provides context for a better understanding of current trends in this diverse topic that intersects with operations management, as well as the research opportunities and difficulties it presents.
