The Role of Green Technologies in the Transition Towards a Circular Economy

Abstract

The circular economy (CE) is a sustainable development model that creates a more dynamic market environment for organizations. It enables the enhancement of organizations' contributions to sustainable production and consumption. The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy advocated environmental sustainability by promoting green sustainable supply chain management practices. Besides, it transforms the sustainable supply chain towards a new paradigm of redesign, reuse, and product transformation. Additionally, the integration of a circular economy paradigm within sustainable supply chain management will provide benefits from an environmental perspective. Hence, the authors would like to review the role of green technologies in sustainable supply chain management within a circular economy. In addition, the focus will be given to analyzing the benefits of a circular economy from an environmental point of view. Finally, a discussion will be provided on the challenges of sustainable supply chain management adopted within a circular economy (CE).
