Ensuring the supply of right product (or service) to right time, to right people, with optimized manner is fundamental expectation from any Supply Chain Management (SCM). However, unfortunately, the world’s resources are diminishing to cater to the need of SCM, also at another side the challenges of waste disposal is an irony. Green and Circular SCM is apparent elucidation on these issues.

In this paper, an attempt is made to highlight an innovative enhancement in Circular SCM (Reverse Logistics) model that ultimately support Green SCM. This paper proposes to focus on two aspects that make circular supply chain effective:

1. Provision of features for easy decomposition of used product during design phase of product, and

2. Establishing and maintaining the integrated channels for used product components.

Abstract


Ensuring the supply of right product (or service) to right time, to right people, with optimized manner is fundamental expectation from any Supply Chain Management (SCM). However, unfortunately, the world’s resources are diminishing to cater to the need of SCM, also at another side the challenges of waste disposal is an irony. Green and Circular SCM is apparent elucidation on these issues.

In this paper, an attempt is made to highlight an innovative enhancement in Circular SCM (Reverse Logistics) model that ultimately support Green SCM. This paper proposes to focus on two aspects that make circular supply chain effective:

1. Provision of features for easy decomposition of used product during design phase of product, and

2. Establishing and maintaining the integrated channels for used product components.
