摘要

Growing environmental pressures and stricter sustainability requirements are prompting manufacturing firms—particularly those in resource-intensive sectors such as food production—to adopt Circular Economy (CE) practices. However, the extent to which CE practices are associated with improved sustainability outcomes remains poorly understood, especially in emerging economies. This study examines the association between CE practices and Sustainability Performance (SP) in Jordan’s food manufacturing sector and explores whether Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) helps explain this relationship. Using survey data from 323 firms and applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings indicate that CE practices are positively associated with SP and that SSCM partially explains this association. These results contribute to practice-based and supply-chain sustainability theories by offering empirical evidence of how CE routines and SSCM practices jointly relate to sustainability outcomes. For practitioners, the study highlights the importance of integrating CE initiatives with sustainable supply chain strategies to strengthen environmental, social, and economic performance. Managers in the food manufacturing sector can use these insights to enhance supply chain processes, respond to stakeholder expectations, and support long-term sustainability efforts.
