“…Gusmerotti et al (2019) highlighted that the product life cycle approach is required to consider all production stages to ensure economic growth while reducing resource consumption and waste production. Life cycle sustainability assessment has also been argued to be a suitable strategy that enables a more complete comparison of the influence of particular CSC solutions (Monsiváis‐Alonso et al, 2020). Salvador et al (2021) emphasized that CSCs should focus on circular business models as they help prolong the life cycle of the whole or part of the product by creating consecutive cycles.…”

The circular supply chain has recently received more attention as a relevant solution to effectively tackle environmental issues while simultaneously achieving resource recovery and circular business strategy benefits. This study builds a hierarchical circular supply chain structure from big data including qualitative and quantitative information. This study uses data-driven analysis to clarify circular supply chain trends and opportunities in practice. A valid hierarchical circular supply chain structure is composed of a big dataset. However, the attributes of the hierarchical circular supply chain structure must be explored to identify the opportunities and challenges of the circular supply chain. A combination of data-driven content and cluster analysis, including the fuzzy Delphi method, fuzzy decision-making trials, evaluation laboratories, and the entropy weight method, is utilized to address this gap. The study analyzes a set of five attributes from the literature, and 23 criteria are validated. The results show that resource recovery implementation, Industry 4.0 and digitalization, and reverse supply chain practice pertain to the causal group, while circular business strategy and life cycle sustainability assessment are included in the effect group. The conclusive criteria comprise material efficiency, waste-to-energy, machine learning, e-waste, plastic recycling, and artificial intelligence.

In this context, attention to the circular supply chain (CSC) concept is intensifying (Rweyendela & Kombe, 2021). The CSC concept offers sustainable advantages by separating value formation from resource usage, leading to lower resource consumption and higher economic value acquisition from waste flows (Bressanelli et al., 2021;Tseng, Tran, et al., 2021). Numerous studies have employed CSC principles to enhance resource efficiency by expanding the lifetime usage of a resource via a resource recovery procedure and improving the number of resources consumed along with the waste created (Krishnan et al., 2020;Munir et al., 2021). However, CSC initiation still involves an array of difficulties and complexities such as the diversification of the performance metrics of various opportunities and challenges in Abbreviations: CSC, circular supply chain; FDM, fuzzy Delphi method; FDEMATEL, fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory; EWM, entropy weight method.

“…In turn, value recovery at the raw material acquisition phase, includes the development of bioactive compounds from agricultural waste [38]. Value recovery at the manufacturing phase includes obtaining chemicals of high added-value from the waste from ethanol production [57], creating new products from whey (a by-product from the manufacturing of dairy products) [61], recovery of biocompounds from black liquor (kraft paper production) [49]; recovery of omega-3 from fish oil [60]; production of chemicals, using fast pyrolysis, from eucalyptus fines [50]; production of biocellulose films from scraps of the commercial production of bandages [51], and biochar from coffee silverskin (from coffee processing units) [66]. Value recovery at the end-of-life phase, in turn, includes recovering phosphorus from eggshell [78] and recovering oil from spent coffee grounds (from coffee shops) [66].…”

Current Panorama, Practice Gaps, and Recommendations to Accelerate the Transition to a Circular Bioeconomy in Latin America and the Caribbean

The rampant use of resources and the increasing risk of scarcity have been contributing to greater awareness regarding the need for maintaining resources in use for longer and the shift to renewable alternatives, in which perspective the concept of a circular bioeconomy (CBE) has been permeating the most diverse sectors. Therefore, the study's aims were manifold: identify (i) existing practices and initiatives, (ii) barriers and potential opportunities and (iii) existing gaps for advancing a circular bioeconomy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and (iv) provide recommendations aiming at the development of a circular bioeconomy (CBE) in the region. To that end, a systematic review of the existing academic literature was done, and reports from relevant non-peer reviewed sources were also consulted. CBE practices in LAC are concentrated in only a few of the countries in the region and very much revolve around recovering value from by-products and waste streams. There are a range of economic, technological, environmental, and social barriers. Opportunities for a CBE are mainly related to the use of waste as raw material (found abundantly in the countries being investigated) and the use of new techniques/technologies. The gaps between the current state and a successful CBE are related to policy, scaling-up, collaborations, and establishing efficient business models. Recommendations for a successful CBE in the region include greater engagement of public actors, investing and developing the local economy, establishing biorefineries and industrial parks, and finding new technological routes for bioresources.

“…The proposed system comprises different types and subtypes of waste, as well as different technologies for each type of waste. Urban centers are considered as the suppliers of waste and the consumers of new materials and energy resources generated in the process, seeking to generate a change in the supply chain from linear to circular, improving the efficiency of the use of waste, coinciding with the concept of circular economy [26] (see Figure 1 ). The processing and installation costs of the different recycling units are calculated with a useful life and amortization time of 10 years.…”
