<p>With consumer consciousness growing in the area of sustainable food supply, food<br />distribution is looking for methods to embrace, adapt and improve its environmental<br />performance, while still remaining economically competitive. Until recent innovative<br />solutions were developed, coffee pods have been considered as an ecologically unsound<br />approach to single-serve beverages. Some have argued that reverse logistics (recycling) is a<br />better option than green supply chain management (composting). With a particular focus on<br />coffee pods a case study on Club Coffee, which focuses on green supply chain management,<br />is presented for the design of a capacitated distribution network for a two-layer supply chain<br />involved in the distribution of coffee pods in Canada. Our investigation shows that Club<br />Coffee’s relationship is not only critical to fostering the green supply chain ideology, but it is<br />also unique in the business. Findings are presented and limitations and future research are<br />proposed.</p>

Nowadays along with the rapid development of industrialization across the globe, the environmental and ecological impacts of products have become a serious issue. Taking into account purely the economic impacts of industrial decisions, and excluding their ecological impacts, make the human beings and animals more at risk to many threats such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, toxic environments, and natural resources depletion. To minimize the environmental effect, implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) is much more essential for industries in the environmental and social point of view. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze barriers to an implementation of green supply chain management in a stone crushing plant of Southern India by using modified simple additive weighting (SAW) to rank approaches. Further, this study will help the small-scale industries to understand the factors affecting implementation of GSCM in their organizations.

The concept of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is achieving high level implication that can help to reduce the harmful effect of manufacturing activities on the environment. The prime objective is to identify the factors affecting implementation of green supply chain management in Tech Manora packing industry. The collection of data combined primary and secondary sources, the primary source of data is  approaching with industry expert by questionnaires. The secondary source of data that is published articles related to GSCM. This study exposed that the most prominent factors affecting implementation of green supply chain management in Tech Manora industry, including lack of knowledge, top management commitment, high cost investment, lack of Government support, lack of information Technology, lack of learning capacity to evaluate GSCM. Finally this study recommends that tech menorah packing industry and its partners should organize joint seminars and workshops to sensitize the staff and suppliers on the benefits of green supply chain management. Further this  study will help to the small scale industries to understand the factors affecting while implementation of GSCM.
