Via production planning and control (PPC), eco-efficient practices can be added to conventional tools/activities for environmental and economic gains. In this study, we examine the scientific research focussing on the relationship between PPC and eco-efficient practices to determine how PPC tools/activities improve eco-efficiency using bibliometrics and a systematic literature review. Furthermore, the relationship between conventional PPC tools/activities and eco-efficient practices is analysed using UCINet-Draw. The results demonstrate the theoretical and practical contributions (such as the evolution of the use of PPC in conjunction with eco-efficiency in industries) and drivers for future research. We conclude that PPC improves operational eco-efficiency because it contributes to remanufacture, recycle, and reuse of materials, utilisation of renewable materials, reduction in wastes, and minimisation of energy and water consumption.
