Abstract

This paper reviews the influence of municipal sustainable chain management on South Africa’s recycling performance. In this study, municipal supply chain management systems are identified as one of the major factors that influence the lack of municipal solid waste services in communities (including recycling performance in South Africa). Through an in-depth analysis of secondary data and a meta-analysis of available data, this study examines the positive and negative reactions of supply chain management systems to sustainable and unsustainable approaches to municipal solid waste practices. The concept of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is used in this paper to refer to a comprehensive and efficient mechanism that integrates the municipal solid waste planning and procurement systems of the municipality. Thus, SSCM is the recommended model for addressing South Africa’s challenges in terms of services delivery, particularly the solid waste challenges, and it integrates indigenous and modern systems of waste management.
