I Danmark generes der store mængder plastemballageaffald direkte og indirekte fra dagligvarehandlen, dog bidrager dette til miljømæssige ulemper. Dagligvarehandlen har en essentiel position i plastemballagens forsysningskæde, hvorfor dette speciale, med udgangspunkt i et casestudie af MENY Borups Allé, kortlægger plastemballager og dertilhørende problematikker repræsenteret her. Med et teoretisk afsæt i Green Supply Chain Management, har kortlægningen bidraget med indblik i, hvorledes det er muligt at forandre den måde plastemballage anvendes og hvorledes dagligvarehandlen kan medvirke til at facilitere øget miljøperformance for plastemballage. Kortlægningen er udført baggrund af en screening, hvori der anvendes observationsguide, stakeholder involvement, samt en vurderingsguide der benyttes som et analytisk værktøj. Specialets resultater belyser otte problematikker forbundet med at øge plastemballagers miljøperformance. Analysen tydeliggøre forskellige handlingsmuligheder for disse problematikker afhængig af positionen i forsyningskæden og eksterne faktorer. Specialet konkludere heraf, at de problematikker hvor MENY Borups Allé har direkte handlingsmuligheder er placeret centralt i forsyningskæden.In Denmark large amounts of direct and indirect waste from plastic packaging are generated from the grocery industry. This, however, has environmental downsides. The grocery industry holds an essential position in the supply chain of plastic packaging, which is why this thesis will assess plastic packaging and its related issues based on a case study of MENY Borups Allé. With a theoretical starting point in Green Supply Chain Management the outline has provided an insight into the possibilites of changing the use of plastic packaging and the contribution of the grocery industry in facilitating a greater environmental performance for plastic packaging. The identification has been made on the basis of a screening using an observation guide, stakeholder invovlement and color code assessment employed as an analytical tool. The findings of the thesis illustrate eight issues involving the increase in environmental performance of plastic packaging. The analysis clarifies various options for action depending on the position in the supply chain and external factors. In consequence it is the conclusion of this thesis, that the issues, where MENY Borups Allé has direct options for action, are at the core of the supply chain
