Environmental approaches play an active role in the production platform as well as in the supply chain. Studies that deal with supplier selection problems in the supply chain with a green focus have recently intensified. In this research, the supplier selection problem of companies providing "last mile" service, which is seen as the last step of transportation, is handled with a green focus. The supplier selection problem of these companies is differentiated according to strategic and non -strategic product groups. In this study, a green -oriented supplier selection proposal is presented for both the strategic product group and the non -strategic product group. The supplier selection problem is accepted as a multi criteria decision making problem (MCDM). Thus, the type -2 neutrosophic numbers (T2NNs) - based CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) - based Multi -Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) hybrid model is applied to evaluate the green -oriented supplier. The motivation of the study is to determine the best alternative supplier type for strategic and non -strategic products groups. In this context, two cases are created, ten criteria are selected, and three supplier types are determined. Supplier types are as follows: (i) Classical suppliers, (ii) Hybrid -Classical to green centric suppliers, and (iii) Start -Ups & green centric suppliers. To devise a solution for addressing the research problem, the selection of the optimal green supplier type was accomplished through a recommended T2NNCRITIC-MABAC hybrid model. Accordingly, for both strategic and non -strategic product groups, micromobility service providers identified Hybrid -Classical to Green Centric Suppliers as the most suitable green supplier type. In addition, the findings are strengthened by creating twenty-two sensitivity analysis scenarios. In conclusion, the T2NN-CRITIC-MABAC hybrid method introduced in this study represents a methodologically diverse, fuzzy logic -based approach with practical implications for supplier selection in the micro mobility services sector. Its application and empirical testing contribute to the literature and provide valuable insights for decision -makers in the industry.
