Abstract: This study aims to explore the suitability and significance of waste management as the first step to creating green supply chains in general, and as an extension of this exploration we address the following research questions:(1)What should be the starting point both for individual companies and supply chains for becoming green? Can it be waste management?(2)What is the level of environmental consciousness of firms and how is it possible to assess the potential level of participation if a waste management system was to be implemented in their supply chains?(3)Which sector would be the most appropriate for implementing a green policy in terms of attracting the attention of other sectors and customers simultaneously?(4)What are the dynamics of interdependency and interaction within the upstream and downstream partners in the chain in terms of green consciousness?
