Green movement becomes more important in the last two decades, either using renewable energy source or recycle our waste to reduce landfill and preventing hazardous material to be buried and polluting the soil. One of hazardous material that will not degrade for at least 70 years is plastic, mainly comes from drinking water container. The object of case study in this research was the industry of plastic recycling that focus on used package of mineral water. Research about waste recycling in Bandung has been done with positivism approaches that build a conceptual model and tested with empirical findings in the fields. Those researches suggest to do some research with inductive paradigm and interpretive approach. The aim of this research is to map the pattern of chain system of the existing green supply/reverse logistic in the recycling industry of used bottled water packaging in Bandung. Social aspects, economics, technology, environment, and the available policy in the chain system of this supply chain are also explored. The methodology that used in this research was building pattern from case study research using supply chain framework basically based on Peter Meindl and Sunil Chopra (2007). There are several steps that were carried out, they were defining of the research question, the determination of the population and the sample, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion. Several actors of recycled plastic drinking water container supply chain start with scavengers, lapak (the small dealers), bandar (the big dealers/broker) then finally to the recycling center. The selling price and bought of used plastic drinking water container was determined by the market but also the condition of the waste itself. Cleaner the used plastic drinking water container, the value will be higher. This research also reveals the pattern of the location of each stage of the supply chain. No policy currently specified about the recycling plastic drinking container from the goverment and considered as any other business in the region. This research contribute to locate this supply chain in the zone of strategic fit as proposed by Chopra and Meindl, which is efficient supply chain. So, the improvement that could be made is to minimized product costs, reduce lead time, and select supplier based on cost and quality. Vertical integration also can help defragmenting the supply chain so the strategy coordination can be implemented effectively.
