Abstract: In the last few years, the circular economy has attracted increasing attention as a way to overcome the problems of the current production and consumption model based on continuous growth and increasing resource throughput. A circular economy is an industrial system that is restorative or regenerative by intention and design. Although supply chains are the key unit of action in the change towards a circular economy, the academic literature on supply chain management approaches in a circular economy is very much in its infancy. However, two distinct literature streams, namely sustainable supply chain management and product service systems, seem to offer valua-ble insights into the investigation of supply chain management in a circular economy. The aim of this paper is to analyse the main characteristics and challenges of supply chain management in a circular economy and identify how these two literature streams can contribute to researching it.
The supply chain viewpoint to circular business modelsAnna Aminoff
Conference presentation in POM 2016
Recently, the circular economy (CE) has attracted increasing attention as a way to reduce global sustainability pressures and to enable sustainable growth. A CE is an industrial system aiming to slow, close or narrow the cycles of the global economy. The lock-in to the linear supply chains of today is one of the major barriers in transition towards a CE, but academic literature is in its infancy. This paper develops a framework that helps to structure the vast concept of SCM in a CE and to classify the core SCM issues according to specific business models. The framework is applied in two cases.
Information sharing is a major challenge in SCM due to the geographical spread of partners and monumental paper work involved across countries and regions. Digitisation impacts the flow of goods, funds and information. It is at the threshold of introducing the Smart Factory where all flows are automated. How relevant are these technologies for India? What can be the Smart Approach for India in sequencing the adoption of these technologies? We present a suggested approach here.
This presentation provides an introduction to the key concepts of the sustainable supply chain, providing definitions of sustainability, explaining climate change and the ways that supply chains can be expected to change in the future, as a result of the need to "go green".
Green design principles are introduced, including the need to avoid creating a "monstrous hybrid". The limitations of recycling are explained and the need for business models centred upon reuse is made clear. The presentation is designed for use at HE5 and HE6 (UK second year or final year Bachelors degree) but it could also be of interest to companies and individuals.
The slides are downloadable, and the download includes presenter notes – plus a short sustainability game that was used in class.

Abstract: The Circular Economy concept drives innovative practices and business models targeting sustainable economic growth while increasing resource efficiency. In supply chain management literature, sustainability has been framed frequently with economic performance as main goal rather than sustainability. Our research aims at bringing together supply chain research and industrial cases inspired on circular economy. Our selected industrial cases are companies performing new ways of creating value from previously wasted materials. Our results indicate that there are significant challenges in the structure and processes of today’s supply chains. Yet, there are ways to overcome these, including close collaboration within the supply chain.

Abstract
The increased level of competitiveness in all industrial sectors, exacerbated in the last years by the globalisation of the economies and by the sharp fall of the final demands, are pushing enterprises to strive for a further optimisation of their organisational processes, and in particular to pursue new forms of collaboration and partnership with their direct logistics counterparts. As a result, at a company level there is a progressive shift towards an external perspective with the design and implementation of new management strategies, which are generally named with the term of supply chain management (SCM). However, despite the flourish of several IT solutions in this context, there are still evident hurdles to overcome, mainly due to the major complexity of the problems to be tackled in a logistics network and to the conflicts resulting from local objectives versus network strategies. Among the techniques supporting a multi-decisional context, as a supply chain (SC) is, simulation can undoubtedly play an important role, above all for its main property to provide what-if analysis and to evaluate quantitatively benefits and issues deriving from operating in a co-operative environment rather than playing a pure transaction role with the upstream/downstream tiers. The paper provides a comprehensive review made on more than 80 articles, with the main purpose of ascertaining which general objectives simulation is generally called to solve, which paradigms and simulation tools are more suitable, and deriving useful prescriptions both for practitioners and researchers on its applicability in decision-making processes within the supply chain context. # 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Exploring disruptive business model innovation for the Circular EconomyAnna Aminoff
Conference presentation in KES SDM 2017 conference
Abstract. Recently the concept of the Circular Economy (CE) has attracted growing interest as a novel economic model aiming to foster sustainable eco-nomic growth, boost global competitiveness, and generate new jobs. A sys-tem-wide disruptive innovation shaping new ecosystems and changing the whole process of value creation is needed to tackle the current challenges and transformation to the CE. This paper asks how disruptive business model innovations work as a change mechanism for the CE. The paper develops a conceptual framework for shaping the industrial systems towards CE ecosys-tems and proposes how value circles and co-creation of value with a variety of partners are crucial aspects in enabling CE. The paper highlights that the concept of value circles would be beneficial in clarifying the difference to linear value chain models and the co-existence of several overlapping value circles.
Mapping Multidimensional Value(s) for Co-Creation Networks in a Circular EconomyAnna Aminoff
Presentation slides of conference paper: Mapping Multidimensional Value(s) for Co-Creation Networks in a Circular Economy
The transition towards circular economy cannot be achieved if
individual agents advance their own interests independently. Companies need to build new collaborative networks for value co-creation. Therefore, identification of what kind of value will be created or destroyed for different partners in the networks is critical. In this presentation, we propose a framework for
mapping multidimensional value in co-creation networks by combining three streams of literature: (1) Circular Economy, (2) Co-Creation and Collaborative networks, (3) Sustainable value creation. The specific contribution of the framework is that it recognizes that the value created in different parts of networks is linked, and the change of value in one link influences others. Moreover, the approach of the paper adds the dimension of circularity into
analyses of value creation.

Background and objectives
Supply chains have been identified as a key unit of action in the
change towards a CE
It would be important to integrate SCM research into a CE, but
the research as today is very limited
The aim of this preliminary study is to
1. Analyse the main characteristics and challenges of SCM in a
CE
2. Identify how previous literature, two literature streams in
specific (SSCM and PSS), could contribute to SCM research in
a CE
3. Create a basis for a empirical study

Supply Chain Management in a CE
1) New innovative business models involve re-thinking of supply chain models and partners
For example: distinction between owning a product and having access to it, and between using
materials and consuming them new SCM models are needed
How to motivate partners, how to find new best partners, what are the new models needed?
2) New business models for a CE require balancing forward and reverse supply chains to
reach operational efficiency
The role of the reverse loop will grow. As today reverse flows are significantly influenced by the high
cost of handling and leakage from the system
Push vs pull supply chains
Transparency throughout the supply chain and ensuring uniform material quality is critical
3) In a CE, consumers become a central part of the system, not the end of the SCM
Influences SCM greatly
Supply chains of today are one of the major barriers in transformation towards CE business
models.
• Long and global supply chains are not easy to change
• Cross-industry co-operation is often a prerequisite
7. 7716/08/2017
Sustainable SCM (SSCM)
Closed loop SCM (CLSCM) is the
design, control and operation of a
system to maximize value creation
over the entire life cycle of a product
with dynamic recovery of value from
different types and volumes of
returns over time’ (Guide & Van
Wassenhove, 2009)
CLSCM offers many useful
frameworks, in specific;
reverse logistics; reducing the
high cost of handling and leakage
from the system.
Product service systems
‘PSS consists of a mix of tangible
products and intangible services
designed and combined so that
they jointly are capable of fulfilling
final customer needs’ (Tukker &
Tischner, 2006)
When focusing on final user needs
or the service a user wants, rather
than the product, it becomes much
easier to design need-fulfilment
systems with radically lower
environmental impacts
PSS literature is quite limited on
SCM-related issues

Empirical findings (1/2)
SCM in a CE is at an immature stage
High operations and handling costs in different stages of supply
chain is restricting circular business
Missing services and actors. A need for e.g. new kinds of
logistics services:
Facilities and services for sharing economy models
Delivery services for C2C & C2B trade
Ideas for new solutions:
Intelligent mobile warehouses,
Crowdsourcing in delivery of products between c2b, c2c, b2c and
b2b.
A need for deeper value chain as well as cross-sectoral
cooperation
Cross-sectoral co-operation in deliveries (e.g. online stores and
public sector).

Consumer’s new role was seen as an opportunity, but also as a
challenge
C2C trade: What business opportunities does it offer for (logistics)
companies?
How can the warehousing and transportation be organized
efficiently?
A need to influence consumers by offering them easy and cost
efficient possibilities &services to participate in circular economy
activities, many of these are related to logistics.

Conclusions
SCM is in an immature state
New services, actors, new collaboration modes and implementation of technologies
are needed, but also capabilities and understanding of it importance
Both SSCM and PSS give many relevant insights. However…
Publications focusing on the supply chain model for a PSS are still scant
Both SSCM and PSSs focus on the manufacturing industry
The changing role of consumers, i.e. becoming users and offering information
to the system, and the implications for SCM seem to be almost non-existent in
today’s literature.
Companies would be able to get more information about use of the products, which
they can apply in the management of the supply chain and collaboration with other
partners
Only a limited contribution relate to cross-sectional (reverse) supply chain
collaboration.
Both SSCM and PSSs focus on quite traditional business models, and the
supply chain as an enabler for disruptive innovation is an interesting avenue for
future research.
