“…The materials and technologies used for food packaging have a vital role in various areas, such as food quality, the safety of the food, FLW, life span, and preservation of natural resources. To address the concerns of the FLW and food safety, companies and policymakers are attempting to incorporate features of green and/or CE and sustainability into their operations [39][40][41].…”

The resilience of food systems is jeopardized by using food packaging materials that have adverse impacts on the environment, food quality, food safety, shelf-life, food loss, and waste. Therefore, a transition into a more sustainable system can only be possible by adopting circular economy principles and practices that can facilitate the elimination of unsustainable packaging, irresponsible disposal behaviors, and waste management. This paper mainly focuses on circular packaging practices in the existing literature to reveal the drivers of circular food packaging applications. The study also displays the triple combinations of material-sector, material-CE, and sector-CE principles. As a methodology, a systematic literature review (SLR) has been used for this study. Furthermore, this study investigates the literature findings, such as the most frequently mentioned food sector and sub-sector, CE principles, materials adopted for food packaging, and so on. The primary contribution of this study to the body of literature is the synthesis and mapping of the literature as a whole from the perspectives of CE principles, both sector-based and national, and the materials used through circular food packaging, and the attempt to facilitate this transition into a more circular system by outlining the drivers of circular food packaging.

“…As the Industry 4.0-enabled system generates a considerably big chunk of data, its practical usage requires a consistent management strategy. These data are required to be stored not only for present use but also for future requirements (Bhattacharya, 2021; Ghobakhloo and Iranmanesh, 2021).…”

PurposeManufacturing industries are facing dynamic challenges in today’s highly competitive world. In the recent past, integrating Industry 4.0 with the lean six sigma improvement methodologies has emerged as a popular approach for organizational excellence. The research aims to explore and analyze critical success factors of lean six sigma integrated Industry 4.0 (LSSI).Design/methodology/approachThis research study explores and analyzes the critical success factors (CSFs) of LSSI. A three-phase study framework is employed. At first, the CSFs are identified through an extensive literature review and validated through experts’ feedback. Then, in the second phase, the initial list of CSFs is finalized using the fuzzy DELPHI technique. In the third phase, the cause-effect relationship among CFSs is established using the fuzzy DEMATEL technique.FindingsA dyadic relationship among cause-and-effect category CSFs is established. Under the cause category, top management commitment toward integrating LSSI, systematic methodology for LSSI and organizational culture for adopting changes while adopting LSSI are found to be topmost CSFs. Also, under the effect category, organizational readiness toward LSSI and adaptability and agility are found to be the uppermost CSFs.Practical implicationsThe study offers a framework to understand the significant CSFs for LSSI implementation. Insights from the study will help industry managers and practitioners to implement LSSI and achieve organizational excellence.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, CSFs of LSSI are not much explored in the past by researchers. Findings will be of great value for professionals in developing long-term operations strategies.

“…2.1 Circular economy (CE) and digital supply chain (DSC) In the context of manufacturing organizations, the CE concept concentrates on circularity in products and energy to attain sustainability (Geissdoerfer et al, 2017). The appropriate implementation of CE in manufacturing organizations can increase profitability and reduce production movements (Bhattacharya, 2021). Manufacturing organizations intend to adopt digital technologies such as Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and 3D printing to improve industry operations (Hofmann et al, 2019;Ghobadian et al, 2020).…”

“…In the context of supply chains, the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) of sustainability is attained through the adoption of the CE concept on products and materials (Geissdoerfer et al ., 2017). Further, implementing the CE concept can reduce the adverse impact of various production movements (Bhattacharya, 2021). To attain a transition to CE, digitalization can be seen as a potential tool to analyze the existing system in terms of infrastructure, technology and policy (Moreno et al ., 2019).…”

PurposeA digital supply chain (DSC) positively enhances circular economy (CE) practices. However, what factors and conditions lead to the implementation of DSC for transitioning toward CE is not yet clear. Therefore, this study aims at identifying and subsequently analyzing the antecedents of DSC for CE.Design/methodology/approachThe study identifies major antecedents of DSC for CE to achieve sustainability objectives through literature review and expert opinions. In this study, 19 potential antecedents of DSCs for CE are established from the literature and suggestions from industry professionals. A trapezoidal fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach is applied quantitatively to investigate the antecedents identified.FindingsConducted in the context of Indian automobile manufacturing industry, the findings of the study reflect that advanced information sharing arrangement, effective government policies for DSC and CE implementation and digitalizing the supply chains are the top three potential antecedents of DSC for a CE.Originality/valueIn the existing literature, few studies are specific to investigating the DSC and CE paradigm. The present study will help organizations develop a practical and integrated strategic approach that will foster DSC through improved knowledge of CE.
