“…A semi-systematic review approach could be a good strategy in this scenario [68]. Semi-systematic reviews recognize and explain all study patterns theoretically important to a research subject through meta-narrative synthesis [69]. Four studies were classified as systematic mapping studies, which are a form of a systematic review that categorizes the primary studies against some framework or model instead of performing significant syntheses [70].…”

The importance of the circular economy has greatly increased in the past few years, and consequently, the interest in the circular economy as a research field has also increased, which led to an exponential growth in the number of literature reviews on the subject with different purposes. In order to analyze the topics that have been studied and assess the quality of these secondary reviews, this study carried out a tertiary literature review on the subject. This study identified the literature reviews on the circular economy, the most frequently cited papers, and the main research topics in the field. We have also analyzed the types of research questions that have been proposed by secondary studies. Finally, we evaluated the extent to which secondary reviews have assessed the quality of primary studies. We found out that literature reviews on the circular economy are frequently related to the areas of supply chain and technology. We also concluded that there is a need for designing research questions that explore more complex relationships, since most questions are descriptive or process-related. Some research questions are proposed to guide future studies. We also observed that secondary studies have failed to appropriately assess the quality of primary studies.

“…Authors view on the circular supply chain is heavily impacted on the theories related to the circular economy supply chain. Ogunmakinde, Sher, and Egbelakin (2021) identified main theories, concepts, and methods that affect the circular supply chain: industrial ecology, cradle to cradle, regenerative design, natural capitalism, biomimicry, blue economy, eco-efficiency, eco-effectiveness, reverse logistics, zero emissions, performance economy, permaculture, extended producer responsibility, and material passport. The core connection is that all the topics are related to environmental protection.…”

Purpose – to review literature about circular supply chain (CSC) theories, methods, frameworks, and appli-cations in industries. For organizations to incorporate circular economy (CE) principles in their supply chain frame-work are required to address the main circular processes. Previous attempts of frameworks aim at the comprehensive approaches or too theoretical for organizations to use them. The objective is to propose a theoretical framework that allows organizations to prioritize main circular processes in order to start improving or introducing new circular pro-cesses in the supply chain. Research methodology – the methodology of the article consists of a literature review and information synthesis for the formulation of the theoretical framework. Web of Science database was used for literature review with the key words of “circular economy supply chain”. Findings – formulated theoretical CSC framework contributes to the CSC research field with a more organization-ori-entated approach. Research limitations – the proposed framework is limited through only theoretical propositions and is more limited in its scope compared to other researchers. Practical implications – organizations in the supply chain such as manufacturers can understand through a framework main processes required for CSC. Originality/Value – compared to other researchers this work emphasizes and proposes CSC development from an organizational perspective rather than from a holistic approach.

“…Pursuing these goals, CE models are supported by concepts like Industrial Ecology, reverse logistics, cradle-to-cradle design, eco-e ciency, and the 3R hierarchy for waste management -reduce, reuse, recycle (Fiksel et al 2020;Ogunmakinde et al 2021).…”

“…Considering that there is a relevant number of waste streams that are presently underutilized (Fiksel et al 2020), the promotion of CE-based business models could result in considerable economic and environmental bene ts: conservation of natural resources, economic valorisation of waste, opportunities for new economic activities with job creation, reduction in energy consumption and consequentially in greenhouse gas emissions, besides the avoidance of costs and environmental burdens associated with waste treatment (Smol et al 2017;Ogunmakinde et al 2021). Also, by reducing dependence on scarce resources and long-distance supply chains, CE enhances business and community resilience (Fiksel et al 2020).…”

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) cause environmental impacts in a worldwide scale. The existing international concern regarding the adequate management of CDW is justified by the large amount of this waste produced in a daily basis, together with its potential hazardous effects on ecosystems and human health. In countries with growing economies, like Brazil, it is of the utmost importance to promote sustainability-oriented practices that can co-exist with economic development. In this scope, the present research proposes strategies regarding the management of CDW based on the Circular Economy principles, focusing the case study of the municipality of Manaus, in the centre of the Amazon Forest. The characterization of the reference situation regarding CDW management in Manaus revealed several deficiencies, namely the lack of reuse and recycling opportunities, the unsupervised disposal of CDW in illegal landfills, together with insufficient surveillance procedures and inadequate policies from regional authorities like the Manaus City Hall and the Amazon’s Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy (CREA-AM). The acknowledgement of these problems led to the identification of improvement opportunities and to the development and operationalization of Circular Economy promotion strategies: valorisation of CDW through the enhancement of reuse and recycling opportunities, operationalized through a mobile phone application; inclusion of sensibilization and surveillance practices regarding professional activities related to CDW management on the CREA-AM inspection plan; and the proposal of alterations in the municipal policies regarding CDW disposal in the public landfill. These strategies have been implemented in the Manaus municipality, but are easily adaptable to other Brazilian municipalities and even to other countries’ realities.
