Circular Supply Chains

Explore the future and application of circular operations so that you can build a roadmap towards a circular supply chain.

As supply chain operations continue to be recognized as critical to the transition to a circular economy, this practical resource provides an actionable outline for supply chain professionals wanting to implement a circular supply chain. The circular economy remains a common topic among supply chain professionals, especially in light of material disruptions, climate change pressures and the need to innovate on revenue models. Circular Supply Chains provides a bold vision of sustainability for supply chain designers, decision makers and operators to rally around. It will also, critically, provide a practical path on how to get from today's operations to the future of sustainable supply chains. Exploring topics like new digital technologies and the future of sustainable supply chains, the book takes a practical approach including how-to checklists and circular supply chain examples. The book itself paints a vision and breaks theories down into reasonable, practical steps with concepts like repair demand sensing, supply planning, radical transparency and regenerative operations. This is an essential book for supply chain professionals keen to learn about how to transition to circular operations.

Authored by a distinct and experienced voice in the circular supply chain with new theories that have not often been seen through a supply chain lens
