Abstract
The Circular Economy concept drives innovative practices
and business models targeting sustainable economic growth
while increasing resource efficiency. In supply chain
management literature, sustainability has been framed
frequently with economic performance as main goal rather
than sustainability. Our research aims at bringing
together supply chain research and industrial cases
inspired on circular economy. Our selected industrial
cases are companies performing new ways of creating value
from previously wasted materials. Our results indicate
that there are significant challenges in the structure
and processes of today's supply chains. Yet, there are
ways to overcome these, including close collaboration
within the supply chain.
