The evolution is directly related to adaptive changes of people according to the environment. Technologically it has been given in order to exploit resources efficiently to obtain raw material in less time, which has led to a negative evolution in the environment, creating a need to preserve it. Industrial engineers are the articulators of society-enterprise because they are responsible for optimizing resources to produce more products and services to be socialized into the community. They Have been who have had more contact with practices aimed to reduce waste, seeking the perfect flow of goods and services and reducing costs, but this also impacts in a positive way the environment due to reduced consumption of resources. This article discusses the management of the supply chain as a path to positively impact the environment while guiding organizations to a culture of zero waste.Downloads
