“…Some papers focused on specific waste types in certain RSCs, while others had a more general approach that could be applied to any waste type (called general context). As shown in Figure 4, the majority of the studies identified (17) were related to the general context, while others focused on electric electronic equipment waste -EEEW (3)-and construction and demolition waste-CDW (2). Additionally, eight papers investigated various other waste types.…”

Approaches to Performance Assessment in Reverse Supply Chains: A Systematic Literature Review

Background: The interest in the topic of performance assessment in reverse supply chains (RSC) is increasing, although the body of research is still in its early stages. As this is a developing field, it is crucial to expand discussions on topics that have not yet been thoroughly examined, such as the intrinsic bias of indicators and metrics that may be associated with specific operational, economic, environmental perspectives, etc. Such perspectives should be considered in the decision-making process within the context of reverse logistics (RL) and waste management (WM). The aim of this research was to identify different perspectives employed in the development of proposed models in the literature. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to analyze thirty papers from Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct databases without time restrictions. Results: The review identified various ways in which authors grouped perspectives, including qualitative and quantitative, sustainability, and operational perspectives, among others. Conclusions: This study revealed several gaps in the field, including limited studies on RSC performance assessment and a lack of studies linking performance assessment to decision-making components.

“…This is evident in recent works. such as [7,12,17,18], and in the specific context of RSCs it is possible to mention [16,19]. In our study, an SLR was conducted, which is distinct from previous reviews as it does not limit the type of waste or its route, whether a closed-loop or open-loop supply chain.…”

“…Game theoretical models have been employed in supply chain applications such as inventory management, pricing, and coordination (Agi et al, 2021; Agrawal et al, 2022). When cooperation is lacking, game theory can be used to supplement decision‐making tools.…”

“…Various theories (i.e., game theory, stakeholder theory, contract theory, and prospect theory) have been used by researchers in CSC (Lahane et al, 2020). Game theory has received attention from researchers in resolving reverse supply chain coordination issues (Agrawal et al, 2022) and is also a powerful tool for CE (Choi et al, 2020). Game theory can be used to optimize multiplayer, decentralized supply chain organizations.…”

The circular economy seeks to reduce waste by reusing, refurbishing, and recycling used products. It increases the resource value of used goods. In this study, we proposed a circular business gap exploiter model in which a re-commerce company exploits residual value in product systems utilization. A game-theoretic approach is used to investigate the coordination problem of a two-echelon circular supply chain with e-commerce and re-commerce companies. In addition, we proposed a coordinated structure under the revenue sharing contract and the two-part tariff contract through Nash negotiation to address the coordination problems. We compared the centralized and decentralized model findings and observed that the decentralized model shows potential for improvement. We showed model's applicability through numerical examples and sensitivity analysis to indicate how parameters such as wholesale price and retail price affect channel decisions and member profits. The results show that a two-part tariff contract may efficiently coordinate the circular supply chain. The study shows that under a circular business model, two tactics may be applied. These are extending product value and extending resource value.

“…Literature indicates suppliers as the most critical to effective implementation of GSCM given their role in the sourcing of material and provisions of inputs such as parts and components to manufacturers for the final products (Kafa et al, 2013;Vanalle et al, 2017;Xu, 2019 Feng et al, 2020;Petrudi et al, 2021). While governmental laws and regulations may have huge impact on individual GSCM practices (Zhu et al, 2008;Zailani et al, 2012;Huo et al, 2018), effective collaboration with suppliers will enable the optimal GSCM and sustainability achievement (Zailani et al, 2012;Petrudi et al, 2021;Agrawal et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThe study aims to develop and test a supply chain wide green product development framework of focal firms and their major suppliers, in the context of the Chinese automotive industry.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth case studies approach is adopted for this study. Three automotive sector upstream supply chains involving 17 firms and 51 experts as respondents were interviewed on the importance and implementation effectiveness of 6Rs (reduce, redesign, recover, remanufacture, reuse and recycle) across the manufacturer and their respective tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers.FindingsThe results indicate that the Chinese automotive sector supply chains are mainly focused on “reduce” practices with immediate environmental and economic benefits. The investigated firms however had future implementation plans for “redesign” and “recovery” practices to become comprehensive in green product development (GPD).Research limitations/implicationsThe study facilitates automotive firms, industry policymakers and researchers the understanding of incorporating comprehensive GSCM practices across the upstream supply chain to achieve circularity. The study focused on upstream supply chain due to the concentration of major production practices in this section of the supply chain. However, the downstream supply chain equally deserve attention as well as the need to understand the mediating and moderating roles of the different Rs to tease out the pros and cons of achieving overall environmental sustainability.Originality/valueThere are very limited studies on comprehensive GPD for achieving optimal GSCM and sustainability. By simultaneous looking at a focal firm and its upstream supply chains GSCM practices, this study addresses a system-wide comprehensive GPD issues from implementation of 6Rs perspectives in the supply chain.
