AVILES-SANCHEZ, Emilia  and  LAMBARRY-VILCHIS, Fernando. Environmental Performance Indicators for Procurement in Plastics Industries. rev.univ.empresa [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.42, e07.  Epub June 26, 2022. ISSN 0124-4639.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/empresa/a.10381.

The objective of this research was to propose environmental performance indicators for the procurement in medium-sized plastics industries. These companies are the most dynamic in terms of their production, but also in terms of contamination and although in the literature there are approaches towards their sustainability, for the procurement they are scarce or non-existent. The results show that the indicators must be established from the sub-process of suppliers to minimize the financial impacts derived from rework, rejection of materials or omissions of activities in the process.

Keywords : Environmental indicators; procurement; purchasing process of plastic industry; environmental performance indicators.
