Abstract

Aim: The U.S. requires clear supply chain resource monitoring for sustainable operations, but its current opacity obscures the achievement of environmental goals. The research investigates blockchain technology because it improves transparency, which supports precise materials tracking to reduce waste. Methods: The research employed a blockchain-powered platform that tracked clothing materials from acquisition until retail delivery for a representative U.S. apparel company. Results: The implementation of Hyperledger Fabric with Python-based analytics in 12 months led to a 15% decrease in waste materials, 12% monetary savings, and a 10% reduction in carbon footprint. The obtained results showcase blockchain capabilities for organizational transformation while they directly match American programs for sustainable delivery management that target retail waste expenses at $50 billion. Mid-sized businesses that generate 25% of U.S. retail jobs gain support from this system to implement environmentally friendly procedures. The solution demonstrates scalability that makes it ready for nationwide implementation, which simultaneously decreases landfill waste and improves economic reliability. Conclusion: The study concludes by presenting practical suggestions along with a recommendation to include AI functionality to optimize resource predictions.
