Product recovery has become significant business strategies to increase a competitive edge in business and also in the society. Parts from discarded products due to rapid advancement and post-consumer products before & after end-of-life (EOL) are recovered to reduce landfill waste and to have become a part of circular economy. Product recovery is made possible with the help of Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). This paper concentrates on multi-period, multi-product, and multi-echelon Closed Loop Green Supply Chain (CLGSC) network. A bi-objective (cost and emission) Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model has been formulated for the network and has been optimized using Goal Programming approach and Genetic Algorithm. Results are discussed for providing some managerial insights of the model.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to unveil the circular economy (CE) values with an ultimate goal to provide tenets in a format or structure that can potentially be used for designing a circular, closed-loop supply chain and reverse logistics. Design/methodology/approach This is desk-based research whose data were collected from relevant publication databases and other scientific resources, using a wide range of keywords and phrases associated with CE, reverse logistics, product recovery and other relevant terms. There are five main steps in the reformulation of CE principles: literature filtering, literature analysis, thematic analysis, value definition and value mapping. Findings In total, 15 CE values have been identified according to their fundamental concepts, behaviours, characteristics and theories. The values are grouped into principles, intrinsic attributes and enablers. These values can be embedded into the design process of product recovery management, reverse logistics and closed-loop supply chain. Research limitations/implications The paper contributes to the redefinition, identification and implementation of the CE values, as a basis for the transformation from a traditional to a more circular supply chain. The reformulation of the CE values will potentially affect the way supply chain and logistics systems considering the imperatives of circularity may be designed in the future. Originality/value The reformulation principles, intrinsic attributes and enablers of CE in this paper is considered innovative in terms of improving a better understanding of the notion of CE and how CE can be applied in the context of modern logistics and supply chain management.

Reverse logistics (RL) and closed-loop supply chains (CLSC) have recently received enormous attention due to growing environmental concerns and legislations coupled with the lucrative business potential. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a closed-loop supply chain network design model capable of recovering glass containers. A multi-period multi-product mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to maximize profit. The strategic design of the supply chain is dealt simultaneously with the tactical planning of its operation, which covers procurement, production, storage, distribution, take-back, reprocessing, reuse, and recycling. To illustrate the efficiency and practicability of the model, it is applied to a real-world case of beverage supply chain where the glass containers are either re-used or recycled into their original form, as raw materials. Finally, sensitivity analyses, from a financial perspective, have been conducted to reveal the determinants of profitable product recovery and grasp their managerial implications. The analyses showed that return rate and return acquisition cost have determinant impact on the economic viability of product recovery practice.
