“…The study conducted by Kvadsheim et al (2021) combines the "value uncaptured framework" which identifies four categories (value surplus, value absence, value missed and value destroyed), with an "Extended VSM" that encompasses the complete product life cycle, starting from raw material extraction and extending to EOL disposal, to pinpoint improvement opportunities throughout the product life cycle. The paper includes a case study in which the proposed tool is applied to a firm that develops health-care-related solutions.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to propose a new mapping tool called Circular Value Stream Mapping (C-VSM) that combines Circular Economy principles with Lean tools to enhance sustainability performance in operations.Design/methodology/approachTo develop the C-VSM tool, the researchers conducted a literature review and a focus group. The tool was then applied to two real case studies in the agri-food sector, specifically analyzing an artichoke and olive oil producer, to assess its validity and effectiveness.FindingsThe study introduces the Circular Resource Box (CRB) as a key innovation in the C-VSM tool. This visual representation effectively captures resource circularity and how resources and wastes are managed, making it easy to identify circularity in the production process. By combining qualitative and quantitative information with this visual representation, companies can identify improvement opportunities aligned with the CE.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is limited in scope as it focuses on the application of the C-VSM tool in the agri-food sector. Further research could explore its applicability in other industries and settings to understand its broader impact.Practical implicationsThe C-VSM tool provides practical benefits to companies seeking to transition from linear to circular production processes. It enables practitioners to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impacts and optimize production operations in line with CE.Originality/valueThe introduction of the C-VSM tool is a novel approach that bridges the gap between Lean Manufacturing and CE concepts, advancing the understanding of how CE thinking can be effectively implemented in operations.

“…For example, in the circular economy context, Zacho et al (2021) used this notion to demonstrate how municipal preparation for waste reuse and recycling can enable the identification of VUs to enhance the value creation potential associated with increased material and resource efficiency. Kvadsheim et al (2021) acknowledged such an extended value perspective by considering uncaptured value and how VOs can be realised, highlighting that such an understanding is ingrained in a circular economy where waste valorisation is the starting point. However, such an extended view of sustainable value mapping is sparse in the supply chain literature but contributes to the understanding of how to achieve sustainability, as already conceptualised in the sustainable business model literature.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the antecedents of uncaptured sustainable value and strategies to generate opportunities to capture it in the circular supply chain of post-consumer used clothing.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on an inductive analysis of 21 semi-structured interviews conducted with various stakeholders in the circular clothing supply chain (for-profit and not-for-profit) using the value mapping approach, as previously applied in the literature on sustainable business models.FindingsFifteen antecedents of uncaptured sustainable value, and thirteen value opportunity strategies were revealed that hinder or generate multi-dimensional value types. Economic value is impacted the most, while there is lack of explicit understanding of the impact of these antecedents and strategies on environmental and social value capture. From a multi-stakeholder perspective, the ecosystem is emerging as new for-profit actors are developing novel process technologies, while not-for-profit actors are consolidating their positions by offering new service options. There is also an emerging “coopetition” between the different stakeholders.Research limitations/implicationsMore granularity in the different types of uncaptured value could be considered, and external supply chain stakeholders, such as the government, could be included, leading to more detailed value mapping.Practical implicationsThis research provides practitioners with a value-mapping tool in circular clothing supply chains, thus providing a structured approach to explore, analyse and understand uncaptured value and value opportunities.Originality/valueThis extended value perspective draws upon the value-mapping approach from the sustainable business model literature and applies it in the context of the circular clothing supply chain. In doing so, this research illustrates circular clothing supply chains in a new way that facilitates an improved understanding of multi-dimensional and multi-stakeholder value for embedded actors.
