“…Therefore, the early frameworks of CE were designed to include only these 3Rs (Parida et al, 2019). However, over time they transformed into the 4Rs, then the 6Rs, and finally the 9Rs (Kayikci, Gozacan, Lafci, & Kazancoglu, 2021), which are Reuse, Recycle, Reduce, Remanufacture, Recover, Repair, Refurbish, Repurpose and Rethink (Kayikci, Kazancoglu, Lafci, & Gozacan, 2021). Although there has been an effort to apply a CE industrially, the concept is not fully understood.…”

“…It has been observed from recent studies that digital technologies with the emerging Industry 4.0 (e.g., Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and blockchain) play a major role in facilitating the adoption of CE principles in the supply chain (Kayikci, Kazancoglu, Lafci, Gozacan‐Chase, & Mangla, 2021). Consistent digital foundations must be developed to enable appealing CE business models globally and to accelerate the CE transition in an effective, sustainable way (Kayikci, Kazancoglu, Lafci, & Gozacan, 2021) since digitalisation enables interoperability, neutrality, open software platform, data owner controls, and also reduced cost, time, and risk (Jensen, 2021). Blockchain is viewed as the next technological behemoth (Kayikci, Usar, & Aylak, 2021).…”

The growing importance of the circular economy has emphasised optimal utilisation of resources within the constraints of economic development and protection of the environment. Digital technologies associated with Industry 4.0, such as blockchain, facilitate the implementation of circular economy principles throughout the supply chain. However, because blockchain implementation in the supply chain is still in the early stages, real‐world examples of the blockchain‐based circular supply chains (CSCs) are limited. The principal purpose of the paper is to examine the critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing blockchain‐based CSCs. Following that, 10 CSFs are identified through a short systematic literature review, and then, the integrated fuzzy cognitive mapping and fuzzy best‐worst method (FCM‐FBWM) is implemented to examine CSFs for the blockchain‐based CSC. The study's main findings demonstrate that network collaboration is the best CSF, while the shared circular economy toolbox is counted worst of all. This research enriches the literature by identifying the CSFs for implementing blockchain‐enabled CSCs to address the lack of a suitable decision‐making framework that assists managers in comprehending how blockchain technology can be adopted in the circular economy context. Implications for theory and practice are also discussed, offering new insights into the measures necessary to ensure successful blockchain implementations in CSCs.

“…Ryen and Babbitt (2022) explore the impact of current approaches on the adoption of circular economy solutions for waste food management by analyzing the state of federal and state policies in the United States. Kayikci et al (2021) proposed the concept of a smart and sustainable circular economy at the macro level and addressed the barriers to a smart and sustainable circular economy in four areas: technology, producers, consumers, and policy.…”

Circular economy is an important trend in the development of the world economy. The establishment of a sound green and low-carbon circular economy system is an important way and method for China to promote sustainable development. Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this paper investigates the linkage effects of technological, organizational, and environmental conditions on the performance of the circular economy and their configuration paths using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method (fsQCA) with 30 provincial-level circular economy development levels in China as a case study. The study found that: 1) China’s circular economy performance in 2019 shows regional differences of “high in the east, medium in the centre and low in the west,” and there are also imbalances in development between different dimensions. 2) There is no single necessary condition that affects the circular economy, but rather the result of the combined influence of multiple condition variables. And the combination of different conditions has the characteristic of “different ways and the same way”. 3) There are obvious differentiations in the performance-driven paths of circular economy in eastern, central and western regions of China. Based on the research results, policy recommendations are provided for the development of China’s circular economy to promote the balanced development of the circular economy in the east, central and west.

“…The SSC practices can be defined as sustainable supplier management, sustainable operations and risk management, and lastly, pressure and incentive management (Zimon et al, 2020). With these practices, SDGs can be maintained via the broader usage of circular economy (CE) principles throughout the area and economy (Kayikci et al, 2021;Balanay and Halog, 2016). As a result, coronavirus disease 2019 may open up new research opportunities into SSC processes (Sarkis, 2020) by addressing the possible importance of the idea and reality of digital sustainability (Pan and Zhang, 2020) to achieve the SDGs for post-pandemic preparedness.…”

PurposeThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created heavy pressure on firms, by increasing the challenges and disruptions that they have to deal with on being sustainable. For this purpose, it is aimed to reveal the role of the smart circular supply chain (SCSC) and its enablers towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for post-pandemic preparedness.Design/methodology/approachTotal interpretive structural modelling and Matrice d'Impacts Croises Multipication Applique' a un Classement (MICMAC) have been applied to analyse the SCSC enablers which are supported by the natural-based resource view in Turkey's food industry. In this context, industry experts working in the food supply chain (meat sector) and academics came together to interpret the result and discuss the enablers that the supply chain experienced during the pandemic for creating a realistic framework for post-pandemic preparedness.FindingsThe results of this study show that “governmental support” and “top management involvement” are the enablers that have the most driving power on other enablers, however, none of them depend on any other enablers.Originality/valueThe identification of the impact and role of enablers in achieving SDGs by combining smart and circular capabilities in the supply chain for the post-pandemic.
