Abstract:
The loss of economic value from wastes of various industries can be prevented through the implementation
of circular economy concepts, in which the wastes are processed to become resources for the same industry
or other industries. From several existing cases, it is apparent that implementing the concepts of circular
economy in supply chain processes could face several obstacles, especially in terms of supply chain actors,
their collaboration, and their interaction. To find if other implementations meet similar obstacles, how they
solve it and define possible research opportunities in this subject, this research sought to conduct a literature
review on the existing research regarding implementation of circular economy concepts in the supply chain,
from the perspective of supply chain actors along with their collaboration types and interaction mechanism.
Several possible future research is identified from the conducted literature review: the importance of
horizontal-type collaboration
in supply chain implementing circular economy, the matter of actors and
interaction in industry-specific context, and also the impact of cultural context on the behavior of actors and
the impact to supply chain output.
