Abstract

This study introduces the conceptual framework of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) for Taiwan textile industry. The qualitative approach is divided into Green Manufacturing, Green Marketing and Wastes Recycling. In order to conquer the trade barriers by the European Union (EU), all works ought to fulfill the requirement of EU environmental directives, including these restrictions of hazardous substances, energy consumption and wastes recycling. The GSCM system is conducted into enterprises with the following job items are completed: First, the information platform is built and regularly being used. Secondly, the technical level must achieve the demands of EU environmental directives. Finally, merchandises should offer test report or authentication on the six restricted compounds.

Keywords:

Authentication, environmental directives, GSCM, information platform, qualitative approach,
