“…At the micro level, monitoring the progress of the CE promotes its implementation in different sectors, from manufacturing to the service and energy sector. At different levels, indicators must have characteristics that are characteristic of other measurement structures that quantify and analyze phenomena (Almeida et al , 2017). The applicability, comparability to other contexts, practicality in use and relevance are factors that give validity and reliability to the metrics, as well as the articulation with the different dimensions of sustainability (Hanumante et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThis article aims to analyze the specific indicators of the circular economy (CE) in terms of analytical aspects, scope and breadth of metrics and levels of innovation associated with CE.Design/methodology/approachA literature review was developed with a sample of 125 articles, extracted from Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Emerald, Google Scholar, Online Library, Sage, Springer, Taylor and Francis and JSTOR databases.FindingsThe results indicate the lack of integration of the social dimension and predominance of environmental indicators, lack of indicators for the meso level and concentration of metrics for the product level. Methodological criteria of validity and reliability for measurement studies are recommended, as well as paths and proposals for future research in the CE.Research limitations/implicationsThe study’s limitations are linked to the content and method aspects. Although the search was performed in several databases, with a significant number of articles returned compared to other reviews of the topic, the possibilities are limited by the data source and the impossibility of a broader review. The theme is not yet consolidated and this affects the linearity of the revised results. As for the method, the analysis and coding in systematic reviews involve the authors’ capacity for exploration and cognition.Practical implicationsThe article proposes six theoretical propositions and the theoretical framework that portrays the main findings of the study and questions to drive future research in the topic.Social implicationsThe article points out opportunities for companies, universities and the government regarding the possibilities that can be explored to develop knowledge and practice about the field.Originality/valueThis research advances the CE literature by means of providing a review of the indicators, metrics and tools oriented toward the CE literature that contributes to the improvement and consolidation of the various researches in the field.

“…In the qualitative approach group, most of the researchers used case studies as their method Sousa-Zomer, Magalhães, Zancul, Campos and Cauchick-Miguel, 2018;Lindström et al, 2018;Stål and Corvellec, 2018;De los Rios and Charnley, 2017;Bundgaard et al, 2017;Peiró et al, 2017;De Almeida et al, 2017;Lieder et al, 2017;Han et al, 2017;Gnoni et al, 2017;Richter and Koppejan, 2016) or they revisited the existing literature (Sanchez and Haas, 2018;Hollander et al, 2017;Bodova, 2017;Jensen and Remmen, 2017;Tukker, 2015;Peck et al, 2015). This can be explained by the exploratory phase of CE literature; the literature is still developing.…”

“…Next, technological aspects ranked second place. This means that the lack of appropriate technology to adopt practices of CE in the NPD is a relevant challenge to be (De Almeida et al, 2017;Gnoni et al, 2017;Oliveira et al, 2018;Sihvonen and Partanen, 2016;Tukker, 2015). Other barriers mentioned in the studies include financial aspects and metrics and quantification.…”

The adoption of principles and practices related to CE can be considered as marketing tools (Heyes et al, 2018) and, in addition, the market can exert pressure to adopt such principles and practices (Richter and Koppejan, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and systematize journal articles that relate to new product development (NPD) within a circular economy (CE) and to present an integrative framework. Design/methodology/approach It was conducted a qualitative research based on a systematic review of the literature. Findings As results, it is presented the identification of the main practices and actions of CE applied to NPD, as well as the drivers, barriers and the stakeholders involved in the integration between CE and NPD. Originality/value The main contributions of this research are: mapping the state-of-the-art on the topic and systematizing the existing knowledge; providing useful insights for product development professionals considering adopting CE practices and tools in their NPD processes; and presenting a unique, integrative framework to guide organizations’ actions.

Value generation of remanufactured products: multi-case study of third-party companies

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The importance of reverse logistics has increased owing to environmental factors and recent legislations. In this context, the market for remanufactured goods has become attractive. Manufacturers, retailers, and third-party companies have improved return programs and operations that add value to the return chain for electronic appliances, rather than treating it as a secondary process. The objective of this study is to identify the variables related to value generation in the reverse logistics of electronic products from the perspective of third-party companies. Reverse logistics of electronic products depends much on the context and local regulations; in addition, the fact that there are few studies on developing countries points to an important gap in extant research. This study presents the influence of quality and warranties, processing time, and partnerships between third-party companies, manufacturers, and retailers on the value generation from remanufactured products. These variables are related to optimal results and optimistic expectations for growth among third-party companies. These internal factors, together with an analysis of external factors and product portfolios, complement the scenario description for the cases studied. The main contribution of this study is to highlight the major factors, which are presented in the framework. The lessons learned can be used in other contexts involving third-party companies.
