Abstract
Greening the supply chain practices is essential to all the sectors. Currently the management looking after the construction activities is also highly focusing on this. It is also coined as sustainable supply chain management. The sustainability is an important factor in construction industry rather than any other industries. The present research paper aimed at identifying and creating awareness of green supply chain management in materials and practices implied in Indian construction Industry. Many of the construction companies are not following sustainable practices in their day-to-day activities. There is a lot of scope to implement the sustainable practices, further helps in reducing the carbon emissions in the supply chain and helps to provide the recycling of the materials and thus reduces the wastage. This improves the construction industry economy and environment. The current research aimed at analyzing the strategies related to green supply chain management practices for construction Industry.
Highlights
The green supply chain management (GSCM) is about inducting environmental concerns in all the stages of the product development i.e from raw material stage to the finished product stage
The factors considered in the present study are taken in the form of basic raw materials, semi-finished goods, completed goods used in construction industry at different stages
The results portrays that using of recyclable material is very important in construction activities and green logistics has got the lowest priority .The mean values for these comparison parameters portrayed in table 3 shows very high consistency with min marginal difference of 0.005 to 0.016
Summary
The green supply chain management (GSCM) is about inducting environmental concerns in all the stages of the product development i.e from raw material stage to the finished product stage. The construction Industry is consuming lot of variety of materials like cement, steel, chemicals, sand, aggregates and mixed mortar etc. Along with all these raw materials different semi-finished or work in progress materials are used to execute the various construction activities for their daily needs. If the mixed concrete wastage is recycled a good amount of savings in materials consumption takes place as well as energy consumption can be reduced to the significant level These kinds of Green supply chain practices are quite helpful to the construction Industry to achieve carbon credits by reducing the pollution levels up to permissible limits. If the materials used here is eco-friendly, the construction industry is going to contribute significantly to environment and economy
