In general, collaboration with sustainable suppliers is the first step to move towards sustainability.

In the proposed approach, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is used to calculate the criteria weights and interval VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is applied to rank suppliers. Interval numbers are also used to facilitate the evaluation process of suppliers under uncertainty. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed approach is measured using experts' knowledge of experts in an aluminium cans production industry.
