Abstract

Despite the growing recognition of the benefits promoted by new business initiatives in the circular economy, little is currently understood about the eco-innovative features of the new business models in this context and the enabling role of “circular” supply chains supporting such models. This chapter offers theoretical propositions that describe fundamental features of a circular supply chain archetype in terms of scope, focus and impact. Novel insights lead to a formal definition of circular supply chain and a more coherent foundation for future inquiry and practice. A discussion of key “circularity” aspects of business models provides a practical illustration of both the theoretical concepts addressed in the chapter and real-life business examples of circular economy praxis.
