“…Shafiee Roudbari et al ( 2021) investigate a twostage stochastic model in a medical equipment supply chain, considering uncertainty on the quality and quantity of returned products. As the increasing waste in the hospital and medical institutions and affected by major public health emergencies, governments began to drive the growth of sustainable practices in the medical devices industry actively (Akano et al, 2021). In order to reduce the environmental pollution caused by medical devices, Liu J et al (2021) investigate how government intervention affects remanufacturing medical equipment supply chain in a game model.…”

In recent years, the resource shortage and environmental degradation have made enterprises and governments increasingly aware of the importance of sustainable development. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the shortage of medical materials. Based on this, we investigate the tradeoff of the critical medical devices refurbishing strategies when blockchain is used in three different structures: manufacturer refurbishing, retailer refurbishing, and third-party refurbishing in the two-period refurbishing strategies. We find that the manufacturer always benefits from the adoption of blockchain technology strategy in the manufacturer refurbishing scenario. However, for the retailer in the second period, the retailer references the adoption of blockchain only if the willingness to pay is extremely high. Additionally, when the medical supply chain channel member chooses retailer refurbishing or third-party strategy, the manufacturer always likes to use blockchain technology. That’s because it will help the information value spillover from the retailer to the manufacturer, which leads the manufacturer to get more profits and a lower profit for the retailer. However, in the retailer refurbishing or third-part strategy, the whole channel profits are higher than not adopting blockchain technology. Therefore, business managers can be based on our research to achieve profits Pareto-improving.

Circular supply chains (CSCs) prioritize resource efficiency by reusing, remanufacturing, and recycling materials, offering environmental benefits and competitive advantages. However, they are facing various risks and organizational challenges that hinder their efficiency. To ensure long‐term sustainability, this study identifies the key risks and introduces a prioritization model for risk management in CSC strategies proposing a framework for the risk evaluation based on the set of criteria and prioritization model using a combination of three multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) methods. The model applies fuzzy Delphi‐based analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to determine the criteria weights and fuzzy axial distance‐based aggregated measurement (ADAM) method for ranking the alternatives. The findings of this study allow for the identification of the most important risks associated with CSC enabling stakeholders to allocate resources strategically and focus efforts on crucial areas. Results highlight that the most important risks are supply chain complexity, resource availability, and quality and technological challenges. The most important contributions are the identification of the most relevant risks that threaten the resilience and sustainability of CSCs, the establishment of the framework for their evaluation, and the development of a novel hybrid MCDM model for their ranking. These contributions are also the main theoretical implications of the study. On a practical level, it enables organizations to strategically manage risks, standardize risk assessment, and improve their competitive advantage by enhancing resilience, reducing disruptions, and lowering operational costs.
