Building upon last week, we are taking a deeper dive into the sustainability movement of circular (a.k.a closed-loop) supply chain practices. The world is moving on from the 'cradle-to-grave' supply chain practice of product manufactured, distributed, used and thrown out. Circular supply chains can be described as the combination of standard logistics and reverse logistics in order to create a circular logistical lifecycle. Products in the reverse logistics flow can be redistributed, repaired for continued use, remanufactured in case of defects, or recycled into parts and materials that have been carefully selected for this purpose.
