摘要

The transition to Industry 4.0 has revolutionized business operations. Concurrently, increasing sustainability concerns have led to adoption of Circular economy (CE) and circular supply chains (CSCs), both aimed at minimizing waste and optimizing resource efficiency. This study examines how Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies can augment performance and circularity when integrated into CSCs. A case study of a CSC of a multinational packaging company, previously developed in the literature to analyze packaging recovery and recycling processes, is adopted to conduct the research and achieve its objectives while generalizing to other SCs of similar set-up and purpose. The proposed I4.0 solutions are supported by theoretical evidence and practical examples successfully applied in other contexts, serving as evidence for their effectiveness. The study fills the gap of limited research on the incorporation of I4.0 technologies in CSCs and the impact of this integration on CSC performance.
