Abstract
Many firms attribute strategic importance to environmental issues. Among the firms that
adopt this strategy, we can mention those that use the residues or waste of the processing cycles in
further industrial transformation processes. The research work is focused on the study of an explanatory
case of sustainability of the production process. As regards the methodology used, an excellent
business case was analysed, and an interpretative, qualitative approach has been chosen. Although this
is a research that is still in progress, some theoretical and conceptual systems can be proposed here.
Key words
sustainability, supply chain integration, operations.
