Abstract

Natural resource consumption, energy efficiency, deterioration of eco-systems, CO2 emissions: these are different facets of the same crisis which is impacting supply chains at a global scale. The increasing concern for environmental crisis is affecting most of the productive systems. However, some sectors are more severely hit than others buy the "green alarm": the global textile supply chain, for example, is characterised by value chain fragmentation, intense use of natural resources, consumption-production imbalances... In this paper, we defend the idea that the implementation of a green supply chain strategy is a dynamic process. Second, we assume that heterogeneous forms of green strategies exist and that ‘clean transport modes' or ‘flow consolidation' strategies are not the unique and optimum forms of sustainability. We will refer to the textile supply chain.
