Abstract
Most of the focus in logistics and supply chain research
has been on forward logistics, but the reverse supply
chain (RSC) has been studied for more than a decade.
Meanwhile, the Circular Economy (CE) has gathered a lot
of attention in recent years from management sciences as
well as companies offering a practical alternative to the
current linear economic model. The purpose of this paper
is to analyze the relationship of these two concepts of
RSC and CE, especially in terms of value creation. The
study also suggests how to develop a sustainable business
model by following RSC and CE concepts. The paper
indicates future research questions and hypotheses for
these topics.
