Purpose: Within the late 20th century, the world economy set out on a quick prepare of alter. Amid this Mechanical Transformation, modern advances enormously amplified the efficiency of laborers, whereas fossil fills pushed fabricating and industrialization frameworks distant past the characteristic limits of human and creature control. As these progresses drove the fetched of Chemical and mechanical generation down, utilization of waste and merchandise skyrocketed around the world. Sustainability and natural concerns have been critical subjects of discourse in recent decades. Green supply chain administration guarantees the adequacy of open and company policies in greening their operations, expanding the advertise share, progressing the company picture and reputation, and expanding benefits. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual framework that considers measurements, categories, and hones in green supply chain administration.
Methodology: After an extensive survey of the writing, we distinguished models and a set of green measurements, categories, and practices utilized for green supply chain administration. This research will clarify the impact and necessity of green supply chain, the revolution of how industrialization transformation was and how it revolutionized people's lives. We'll at that point ponder steps and methods needed to control waste amidst the intention to expand industrialization. We will look at the 6R’s in waste Management. Will focus on the impact of 4.0 industrial revolutions and its impact on economic development.
Findings: This study found that the impact of implementation of GSCM practices differs with respect to cost, profit, waste disposal, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emission. GSCM practices have a statistically significant impact on cost, waste disposal, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emission.Research has revealed that green supply chain management can reduce negative environmental impacts and environmental risks while eliminating waste and improving eco-efficiency, thereby improving environmental performance
