Popis: Paper introduces theories about sustainable supply chain management and a case study which illustrates the way to include environmental and social issues as a part of the strategic supply chain decision making. This paper describes the quantitative changes which case food supply chain’s sustainable performance meets when disposable transportation boxes will be replaced with recyclable boxes. In case study the economic and environmental success of the proposed transportation box change depends most on how well the box recycling and cleaning is possible to fit to the supply chain infrastructure.
