Abstract: This study aims to explore the synergistic optimisation effect of green supply chain management on ecological environment and economic sustainable development, and reveal its practical value in reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution. This paper compares the environmental-economic sustainable development under traditional supply chain management models and green supply chain management models. The experimental results show that in the Yangtze River Delta region, the average wastewater discharge of the traditional supply chain management model is 1.745 billion tons, while the average wastewater discharge of the green supply chain management model is 1.42 billion tons; in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau region, the average wastewater discharge of the traditional supply chain management model is 1.45 billion tons, while the average wastewater discharge of the green supply chain management model is 965 million tons. Therefore, applying green supply chain management in the sustainable development of environment and economy can effectively reduce wastewater emissions.

Keywords: sustainable development; economic technology; ecological environment; supply chain management; analytic hierarchy process.
