This paper focuses on two main topics: presenting a novel framework for assessing the sustainability of a productive process and the application of the framework to the specific case of Chile. The proposed framework integrates green supply chain management and circular economy within the sustainability perspective as drivers for improvements in sustainable development. Within the framework, the greening factor is introduced as a new concept that measures the required effort for a productive process to become sustainable. On one hand, the framework aims at computing the greening factor based on the impacts of resources exploitation and products generation. Additionally, the greening factor computation was designed based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of economic, social, and environmental mainstays. On the other hand, this paper presents a general application of the framework on the five biggest Chilean industries, i.e., mining, wine, forest, agriculture, and aquaculture. Based on the presented generalized application, it is possible to foresee the potentiality of Chile becoming a green country in spite of its productive matrix being mainly based on primary industries.

Content Type

Purpose Green supply chain management (GSCM) and the circular economy (CE) overlap but also differ. The purpose of this paper is to clarify linkages between these two concepts. It identifies mutual theory applications used to study GSCM and CE. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review is conducted to identify theories from GSCM and CE studies. A critical analysis explores the theories that can provide mutual applications between GSCM and CE fields. Propositions are developed. Findings In all, 12 theories are applied in both GSCM and CE studies. Several theories are only applied in GSCM studies, but can help to advance CE study. These theories include complexity, transaction cost economics, agency, and information theories. Each of the eight theories only applied to CE can potentially advance GSCM study. Research limitations/implications The findings contribute to further theory development for both GSCM and CE study. A methodological review can advance theoretical development and cross-pollination in both fields. Originality/value This work is the first study to explicitly explore linkages of GSCM and CE from a theoretical perspective.

Circular economy is a kind of economic growth pattern that utilizes resource circularly with low consumption, low emission and high efficiency. Upon the basis of circular economy theory to study the construction of green supply chain, with applied case study method, it reached the conclusions that: 1) The circular economys development is a staged process, it needs to plan at industry level; 2) Circular economy involves the whole industrial chain of production layout; and 3) Government can promote the green supply chain management and construction of circular economy through sharing resources and infrastructure.

Definition Of

Developing circular economy has important practical significance in improving resource development and utilization rate, relieving pressure on the environment, achieving sustainable social and economic development and realizing the harmonious development of human society. The paper starts with the definition of the connotation of circular economy and green supply chain and further compares the distinction between green supply chain and traditional supply chain. Then, analyses shall be mainly made about the contents of green supply chain management based on circular economy. Finally, the prospect shall be forecast for the implementation of green supply chain management in China.
