“…However, attention to the social dimension is considered to be less developed or as there is empirical evidence of the CE's contributions to a social dimension (Suárez-Eiroa et al, 2019), being even ignored in the CE conceptualization. For example, Fernandez et al (2014) state that the social sphere has no place in the concept of CE, although it can be included as a long-term effect of CE. The lack of attention to the social dimension can be verified even through an analysis of CE definitions present in the literature.…”

Purpose: The objective of this study is to know the state of Portuguese organizations in relation to the transition to circular economy (CE), identifying the main CE practices adopted, barriers and motivations to CE implementation.Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review was conducted for the period 2006 to 2021 and included academic, gray and practical literature that focus on the CE at the micro level, i.e., at the organizational level for the Portuguese context. Findings: The results show that the CE practices implemented in the analyzed organizations reveal a little advanced state in relation to circularity and emphasize the implementation of CE practices associated with waste management. The motivations are mainly associated with improving environmental and economic performance. The main barriers are: legislation, lack of guidelines and support in the transition process to CE, and high investments.Research limitations/implications: The results contribute to the current state of CE research in Portugal at the organizational level and highlight opportunities for future research in this area. However, the number of studies on CE in the Portuguese organizational context, and analyzed, is very scarce, which constitutes an important limitation of this study.

“…The transition to circular economy reports principally opportunities in terms of the use of resources efficiency related to consumption/production which implicitly impacts environment and economy, being argued that the definition of circular economy anchored on the sustainable development perspective is essentially a response for two of the three spheres, i.e., the social sphere, that of social sustainability does not have an explicit place in this concept (Bonet Fernandez, Petit, and Lancini 2014;Koumparou 2018;Luz 2020;Ribeiro 2020) or was not use for authentic purposes (Foladori 2002). Although it is important to understand that this model is inherent in social initiatives and can also integrates dynamics to value social justice, equity and to promote responses to situations of poverty and vulnerability of people facing basic subsistence needs (Luz 2020;World Bank 2015).…”

Aims: To analyze welfare and sustainability concepts framed by United Nations 2030 Agenda highlighting its commitment towards poverty and hunger; to discuss the concept of circular economy exploring the dimensions of sustainability to which it is associated; to analyze the relationship between the circular economy and the social economy, and to distinguish practices based on the assumptions of the circular economy with an inclusive impact at the level of confronting situations of vulnerability/poverty in Portugal. Method: This is a theoretical reflection based on a review of current literature, documentary analysis and searching on websites, on the opportunities of the social economy embedded in solidarity sector to foster welfare (social) sustainability by pursuing circular economy principles. Findings: The issues of poverty and hunger are central to understand the welfare concept and occupy a pole position in the agenda of human sustainability. The circular economy approach has been distinguished mainly as an alternative philosophy of growth (focusing on business) and (environmental) sustainability. Social economy anchored in solidarity organizations reveals the (neglected) social dimension of circular economy due to circular economy principles that they adopt connected to their mission. Conclusions: The opportunities of circular economy to address welfare sustainability, especially for responding to multiple social needs (e.g., basic needs) coming from the circular social economy stakeholders must be reinforced in discourses and political agendas. Also, that opens space to reconfigure the concept of circular economy widening its scope and focus on a complete approach committed to sustainability, being this a direction, that research can deepen.

“…Currently, these natural resources constitute 17% of Canada's Gross Domestic Product GDP and support 1.75 million jobs. In addition to providing stability and a sense of physical and mental well-being to the population, this job creation promotes the productivity and profitability of companies Bonet et al [2]. In fact, it is about 236 billion dollars that fuel the Canadian economy.…”

The saving of non-renewable energies, as well as the reduction of emissions into the environment, are two crucial objectives of industrial production. The recovery of post-consumer products associated with the use of end-of-life products is part of a context of optimization of these objectives. This recovery maximizes the use of resources from end-of-life products in a circular logic while recording the environmental footprint. This study considers a recycling strategy adapted to the need and urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by global warming. The proposed model aims to optimize the profits of the circular manufacturing strategies while minimizing operational costs (collection, sorting, recycling), transport, GHG emissions and recycling. In this paper, a compromise between the gains of CM and the costs associated with it was studied. The robustness of the designed model was tested using a case study based on real-world scenarios. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to study the impact of the emission cost on the overall objective, considering the two options currently offered to industries. The obtained results support companies to take the ecological aspect into account and integrate sustainable development into their strategic axes for their logistics supply chains.
