Globalization results in improving environmental performance of the transnational corporations (TNCs). In this paper we introduce the method of material flow analysis (MFA) for integrated approaches to environmental management such as production processes and supply chain management. To complete this investigation we use the example of one of the most important chemical manufacturing plants in Europe, Solvay Group and its affiliate in Bulgaria Solvay Sodi. We summarize that the MFA tool gives different suggestions of the company in order to realize an ecologically advantageous material cycle, which could contribute not only for development of different eco-design modes, but also for ecological sustainability of the region and for the global supply chain partnership of Solvay.

Abstract
Globalization results in improving environmental performance of the transnational corporations (TNCs). In this paper we introduce the method of material flow analysis (MFA) for integrated approaches to environmental management such as production processes and supply chain management. To complete this investigation we use the example of one of the most important chemical manufacturing plants in Europe, Solvay Group and its affiliate in Bulgaria Solvay Sodi. We summarize that the MFA tool gives different suggestions of the company in order to realize an ecologically advantageous material cycle, which could contribute not only for development of different eco-design modes, but also for ecological sustainability of the region and for the global supply chain partnership of Solvay.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
