Paving the Way for Circular Supply Chains: Conceptualization of a Circular Supply Chain Maturity Framework

The European Green Deal aims to make Europe climate neutral by 2050. According to this ambitious plan, 50% of greenhouse gas emissions are to be saved through a wide implementation of a circular economy. With supply chains responsible for four-fifths of greenhouse gas emissions, their role in the tr...

According to this ambitious plan, 50% of greenhouse gas emissions are to be saved through a wide implementation of a circular economy.
