Sustainable Supply Chain Design: A Circular Economy Perspective

Abstract

An emerging body of work has begun to chart how Circular Economy principles can enter the very blueprint of Sustainable Supply Chain design. The present inquiry narrows on three tasks: surfacing concrete CE strategies suited to logistics networks, weighing their bite on ecological and financial footings, then sketching an actionable rollout template. Researchers sifted manuscripts and reports from 2000 to 2021, diving into frameworks, statistical drives, and field-touched vignettes along the way. Clusters of evidence show that loops, waste-to-value swaps, and service-oriented offerings tighten resource draws, slice disposal headaches, and mint fresh revenue veins. Taken as a whole, the study argues that viewing supply flows through a circular lens may be the centerpiece for truly robust sustainability in todays tangle of global trade.
