Abstract

The aim of this paper is to identify the lean and green wastes accruing in the small scale industries in India
and recommending the suitable waste reduction methods and techniques for eliminating waste i.e. implementation of Green Supply Chain. Three South Indian companies were taken into account for this paper. It is interpretative research and a brief qualitative case analysis of implementation of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in South Indian SSI’s. Primary data was collected through Email and Telephone interviews. The lean wastes were identified in the process which could be eliminated by practicing suitable lean tools and methods. The final disposal wastes were considered to be the green wastes. The methods of disposal practiced by the SSI’s in India shows an evidence of how much they have a concern towards the environment. As a result of it a comprehensive lean and green model has been suggested for the industries which includes both lean and green waste reduction techniques and it also helps in achieving both
lean and green business results.
