Abstract
The uncontrolled and inefficient consumption of natural resources has led, in recent years, to the constant degradation of the environment, today, concern about this issue has become a global trend, it is for this reason that organizations have seen the need to include in their planning and organizational strategic objectives, policies that contribute to environmental care, in this way, eco-efficiency is considered as an administrative strategy that leads organizations towards sustainability. The present work includes a systematic bibliographic review of the different articles within the theme of eco-efficiency, the objective of this document is to demonstrate the importance of the implementation of this concept in organizations, thus in this context, it is also intended to show the transcendental of eco-efficient waste management, for this purpose several tools used for its estimation are included, as is the case of the DEA methodology and some of its variations, the key factors of influence, whether they are internal organizational or environmental, in various types of regional, business, industrial and municipal organizations and sectors, for all this, academic publications in English and Spanish obtained from Journal, EBSCO and free access databases such as academic Google were used. From the bibliographic review it was obtained that: Environmental Science and Pollution Research, contains 16% of the publications, Business Strategy and the Environment, with an average of 11.28, is the journal with the greatest impact, China is the country with the highest number of publications with 38%. Some regions of various countries, municipalities and various types of industry were the organizational sectors covered by this study.
