Abstract:
This paper explores the imperative integration of sustainable engineering practices into Supply Chain Management (SCM) as a vital strategy for reducing environmental impact. It delves into the multifaceted challenges hindering this integration, including economic constraints, regulatory and compliance issues, technological and infrastructure limitations, and cultural and organizational barriers. Conversely, it outlines strategic approaches for overcoming these obstacles, emphasizing policy and incentive mechanisms, collaboration and partnerships, technology and innovation, and education and awareness. The review highlights the significant potential of sustainable practices to transform SCM, contributing to environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, and social equity.
