“…Reverse SCM is defined as "the effective and efficient management of the series of activities required to retrieve a product from a customer and either dispose of it or recover value" (Prahinski & Kocabasoglu, 2006, p. 519). Reverse activities and reverse flows occur mainly due to commercial returns, warranty replacements, leased equipment renewals (Akçalı et al, 2009), or return of reusable articles (Vanga & Venkateswaran, 2020). Reverse activities include collection, inspection, sorting, disassembly, reprocessing/recycling, and disposal operations (Akçalı et al, 2009), whereas reverse flows start from customers and end in factory/ recovery plants (Salema et al, 2010).…”

The circular economy (CE) concept has gained wide attention in practice as well as in academia in recent years. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art practices and research in "circular supply chain management" (CSCM), i.e., the integration of CE thinking into supply chain management (SCM) with the goal of achieving "zero wastes". The review covers 68 real-life CE implementation cases collected by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and 124 publications in well-established, highranking academic journals in operations and supply chain management. The comparative review shows that CSCM encompasses multiple dimensions, including closed-loop SCM, reverse SCM, remanufacturing SCM, recycling SCM, and industrial symbiosis. A multi-dimensional CSCM (MD-CSCM) framework is developed to synthesize their interrelationships and to categorize academic publications into multiple research themes. Based on the identified research-practice gaps and pressing research needs, this study discusses important directions for future studies to advance supply chain circularity.
