It attempts to describe thernrole of main stakeholders starting from the producers of purified water, governmentrnoffices, plastic bottle collectors and organizations involved in collection and recycling ofrnused plastic bottles. Due to the increased demand and consumption of bottled water inrnEthiopia, there has been a growing concern about the thrown used plastic bottlesrneverywhere and to minimize its impacts on environment, green logistics practice is anrnimportant process which is not effective due to lack of awareness on source separation,rnrisky and inconsistent collection processes due to the fall on the selling price of collectedrnplastic bottles, high cost of transporting plastic bottles, low community participation andrnlow contribution of bottling companies to environmental protection. Primary andrnsecondary sources were used to gather data by self-administered questionnaires to waterrnproducing companies, interviews with plastic recycling company employee and informalrnplastic collector including books, magazine, journals and websites. The study samplernconsisted of 111 employees selected through convenience sampling technique from threernwater producing companies with a total of 1117 population.
