PurposeThe enormous amount of waste generated and the scarcity of natural resources worldwide have encouraged societies and industries to adopt the Circular Supply Chain (CSC) concept. With a focus on zero-waste generation, Circular Economy (CE) mimics the ecosystem cycle as an alternative to the traditional linear economic model. This paper aims to investigate the evolution of research themes in this research area, hence, trace the trajectory of development in the field of CSC.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct scientometric analysis using Pajek and VOSviewer software to identify key themes in the Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) field. The Citation Path Analysis (CPA), including Main Path and Local Path analysis, has been followed by a critical review of the papers. This paper includes highlighting the interrelationships between the information flows in the topic of study as well as an analysis of keywords co-occurrence.FindingsThe analysis of keywords co-occurrence revealed that the earlier years of research in CSC were more inclined toward value chain, stakeholders and green supply chains, whereas, in recent years, topics like logistics, Industry 4.0 and food supply chain have been more focused upon. Further, the Main Path Analysis (MPA) revealed an evolving trajectory that examines challenges and opportunities in CSC, the economic aspects of implementing CSC, the impact on the firm's revenue growth and collaboration between multiple echelons of a supply chain and Industry 4.0.Research limitations/implicationsThe adoption of scientometrics analysis unveils the hidden flow of information, various themes of research and their interconnections. The development of research trajectories and progressive attention paid to certain topics is also discovered. The research findings could be used by researchers for further theoretical and research development.Originality/valueThis paper traces the path of development in the field of CSC and its emerging trends and provides a thorough understanding of the same. It enables research scholars to conduct an in-depth study in the CSC domain, adding to the body of literature.

“…The recovered product market is rarely present in developing economics. The production firms only recover the product if there is market availability for the remanufactured product (Khan et al , 2022). To become competitive in CE based market, there is a need to develop the culture of using the remanufactured product and established their market (Hazen et al , 2016).…”

“…Another critical factor for CE practice adoption is the ‘information sharing’ that is necessary for effective and efficient supply chain operations. The information about the product, and its traceability is very much required to adopt the CE practices such as reuse, repair and remanufacture (Khan et al , 2022). Apart from this, information sharing is also beneficial to the supply chain for its efficient performance.…”

“…The current industrial system is based on the extraction of raw materials for products and ends with waste (Khan et al , 2022; Nasir et al , 2017; Salari and Bhuiyan, 2016). Such an industrial system is known as a linear system that faces several challenges such as scarcity of raw materials and higher waste generation and critical ecological concerns (Chhimwal et al , 2021; Khan and Haleem, 2020).…”

Purpose Consumers, governments and regulatory agencies are concerned about the social and environmental aspect that pushes firms to move towards the circular economy. The transformation of the existing linear model into a circular model depends on several circular economy practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the critical factors that are responsible for the adoption of circular practices. Design/methodology/approach In total, 15 critical factors are identified through the literature review and 12 are finalised with the grey Delphi method. Further, these critical factors are prioritised using the weighted aggregated sum/product assessment (WASPAS) method. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to test the robustness of the ranking of critical factors obtained from WASPAS. Findings The finding of this study show that “top management participation,” “market for recovered products” and “circular economy oriented R&D activities promotion” are the most significant factors for circular practice adoption. These factors need to address on the highest priority by the stakeholders. Research limitations/implications This study is beneficial for the managers to formulate their strategies for the adoption of circular practices. The prioritisation of critical factors supports the managers and professionals to optimise their effort and resources to adopt the circular practice. Originality/value This study explores and analyses the critical factor for circular economy practice adoption in the supply chain in the context of emerging economies.

“…In the CE, resources are ideally circulated repeatedly in the resource loops to extend the useful life of products, components, and materials [30]. The objective of the CE is to increase the resource efficiency of the system through the systematic use of repair, reuse, upcycling, remanufacturing, and cascading materials recycling, and eventually reduce the requirement for new products, components, and virgin raw material [31]. Resources and energy efficiency regulations, infrastructure improvements (e.g., transportation facilities, IT), incentives, and tax reductions need to be implemented worldwide as part of the provisions of the circular remanufacturing strategy.…”

Organizations are transforming their linear models into circular models in order to become more sustainable. Remanufacturing is an essential element of the circular model; thus, there is an urgent need to adopt remanufacturing. It can offer organizations economic and environmental advantages and facilitate the transition to a circular economy (CE). Several aspects are crucial to the use of remanufacturing methods in order to transition to the CE. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a framework for investigating the causal relationship among determinants of adopting remanufacturing processes for the circular economy. Through an integrated approach comprising a literature review and the Modified Delphi Method, we identified ten remanufacturing adoption determinants. The causal relationship among these determinants was established using the DEMATEL method. Furthermore, we classified these determinants into cause and effect groups. Five determinants, “consumer preferences”, “remanufacturing adoption framework”, “market opportunities”, “management commitment”, and “preferential tax policies”, belong to the cause group, and the remaining five belong to the effect group based on the effect score. To implement remanufacturing processes and transition to a circular economy, it is necessary to pay greater attention to these identified determinants, especially those that belong to the cause group. The outcomes of this study may aid management and policy makers in formulating strategies for effectively implementing remanufacturing methods within their organizations.
