“Packaging Logistics” for improving performance in supply chains: the role of meta-standards implementation

Abstract Integrated packaging design process arises as one key factor that could contribute to increasing the efficiency and sustainability of supply chains. This approach is called “packaging logistics”. Another managerial approach that is related to efficiency and sustainability is the implementation of “meta-standards” (ISO 9000 and ISO 14000).

In this study, we explore the potential rel...
