Abstract
Green supplier selection, along with the environmental dimension in the supply chain, has attracted great interest both in the academic and institutional framework however, the supplier selection as well as the evaluation the performance of the current supplier affects the performance of the company and is important. In the real life, uncertainties in decision-making process are an integral part of this process. are things that exist in the nature of decision-making. Fuzzy set theory with the linguistic preferences was used to transform subjective decision-maker perceptions into a tangible net value. In this paper, it is proposed an interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS approach for green performance evaluation in GSCM. Then, It is applied in the performance evaluation of 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) providers to validate the presented model.
Highlights
The Supply chain (SC), including all processes from the raw material to end product and recycling of a product, has a complex and multifactorial life cycle such as including purchasing, production, sales, packaging and reverse logistics in this process (Yiner et al, 2011).For many years, focusing on supply chain management (SCM) has been seen as a strategic way to obtain competitive advantage (Khodaverdi et al, 2013) and in partically, “supplier selection problem" has been recognized as a one of the most critical decision for organizations due to its direct effect on cash flow and profitability of the company (Banaeian et al, 2018).The more wastes are generated as a result of production activities based on the increasing population and demand

Summary
The Supply chain (SC), including all processes from the raw material to end product and recycling of a product, has a complex and multifactorial life cycle such as including purchasing, production, sales, packaging and reverse logistics in this process (Yiner et al, 2011). The more wastes are generated as a result of production activities based on the increasing population and demand It has caused air, water and soil pollution and these pollution causes many environmental problems such as climate change, acid rain, global warming and depletion of ozone layer and threaten us, future generations and our world (Boyacı and Çolak, 2018). When the literature is reviewed from past to present, it is seen that there is a big gap the studies are focused on the green supplier selection (Büyüközkan et al, 2008; Kannan et al, 2014; Jharkharia and Shankar, 2007) For this reason, this study presents a new model for green / environmental performance evaluation based on the key criteria in green supplier selection.
