In the quest for sustainable and efficient operations, businesses and organizations today face the dual challenge of optimizing supply chains while also addressing the pressing issue of waste management. This paper explores the convergence of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Waste Tracking and Management (WTM) systems, highlighting the potential for synergy between these traditionally distinct domains. The first part of the paper delves into the complexities of modern supply chains, emphasizing the critical role they play in delivering goods to consumers efficiently. Traditional SCM systems are well-established, addressing aspects such as demand forecasting, inventory management, transportation logistics, and customer satisfaction. However, they often fall short in accounting for the environmental and social impacts associated with waste generated at various stages of the supply chain. The second part of the paper examines the challenges and opportunities of effective waste tracking and management. It underscores the environmental and economic consequences of inadequate waste management and showcases the benefits of real-time tracking and data-driven decision-making in waste reduction and diversion. The heart of this paper lies in the proposal of an integrated system that bridges the gap between SCM and WTM. We present a conceptual framework where the supply chain ecosystem, from raw material suppliers to end consumers, is viewed as a holistic entity with waste as both a potential disruptor and resource. We discuss the key components of such a system, including IoT-enabled waste bin sensors, AI-driven predictive analytics, and real-time reporting tools. Moreover, this paper emphasizes the need for a cultural shift within organizations, one that embraces sustainability as an integral part of business strategy. This includes fostering a mindset that values waste reduction as a means to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance corporate social responsibility
