“…The CE is inherently restorative, with the goal of keeping goods, components and materials at their highest level of utility, promoting a paradigm shift in how materials and resources are used (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015). Its immense complexity and scope span across various disciplines, making it a vast concept that requires efforts and studies at multiple levels for efficient and effective implementation (Braz & de Mello, 2023).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the interfaces between Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and circular supply chains (CSC) in Brazilian foodtechs, focusing on key stakeholders’ perspectives to understand the efficiency and sustainability impacts of these integrations. Design/methodology/approach Using a qualitative exploratory research design, the study analyzes eight Brazilian foodtechs through interviews and content analysis. It identifies CSC practices and examines the adherence of I4.0 technologies within these enterprises, assessing stakeholder engagement and the implications for CSC optimization. Findings Fifteen CSC practices were identified across the foodtechs, with notable integration of three distinct I4.0 technologies. The findings suggest that while I4.0 technologies enhance efficiency in CSC, their adoption is in early stages. Stakeholder engagement emerges as a crucial element for optimizing CSC in the context of Brazilian foodtechs. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the academic discussion on the synergy between I4.0 and circular economy (CE) models, providing empirical evidence of their application in the foodtech sector and highlighting the role of stakeholders in facilitating these integrations. Practical implications The findings suggest that stakeholder engagement in circular practices is vital for both supply chain and organizational levels, with potential benefits including improved efficiency and sustainability outcomes. The research also underscores the need for public sector support, including regulatory frameworks and incentives for adopting I4.0 technologies. Social implications By demonstrating how I4.0 technologies can support CE practices in foodtechs, the study highlights the potential for these integrations to contribute to more sustainable and efficient food systems, addressing environmental concerns and promoting social well-being. Originality/value This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the interface between I4.0 technologies and CSC in the emerging context of Brazilian foodtechs, offering insights into the practical and societal benefits of these integrations.

“…Supply chain management (SCM) literature has been developed mostly on linear supply chains (Carter et al, 2015; Nair & Reed‐Tsochas, 2019). To understand the relationship between CE and SCM, recent researches are proposing nonlinear supply chains (SC) with nonlinear flows through feedback‐loops more dynamic and complex (Braz & de Mello, 2020; Kazancoglu et al, 2020). Circular supply chains have been suggested as an extension of closed‐loop SC (Batista, Bourlakis, et al, 2018; Batista, Gong, et al, 2018) incorporating CE principles (De Angelis et al, 2018), and recently as a circular economy supply network (CESN) with hybrid‐loop configuration, closed‐loop and open‐loop SC combined, integrating different SC and industries (Braz & Mello, 2022).…”

This paper discusses transitions towards circular economy, developing a circular economy supply network transition phases management dynamics framework. We studied seven circular supply networks in Brazil through process analysis and system dynamics modeling. Primary data were collected through 35 manager's interviews and companies' plant and their suppliers' visits. We suggest that transition phases management are pre‐development, learning, expansion, leadership, stabilization and self‐renew with cooperative and competitive challenges, characterized by specific circular factors over time. The simulation and transition phases models provide strategic tools to make decision on which circular factor, project team should focus applying multi‐tier supply chain management and hybrid leadership to stimulate internal and integrate external stakeholders to adopt circularity, unveiling challenges and average time to achieve each phase. We also enrich circular economy supply network management theoretical background defining it in three dimensions: behavioral as supply ecosystem, structural as supply network and contextual as complex adaptive system.
