Abstract

Circular Supply Chain (CSC), integrating supply chain within the idea of circular economy, is gaining prominence to attain sustainable development using the principles of RRR, i.e., Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, by prolonging the useful life of current resources and materials.

Purpose: The study focuses on analysing the supply chain’s resilience, inclusivity, sustainability, and transformation in creating a well-functioning circular economy by examining recent research developments in this field.

Methodology: This study first undertook a bibliometric analysis, then SLR, i.e., Systematic Literature Review, to examine and analyse recent and relevant academic publications on RIST (Resilience, Inclusive, Sustainability and Transformation) in the supply chain for the circular economy.

Results: Outline of the RIST framework’s emergence in the supply chain, based on those documents cited that are relevant. The study also shows keywords commonly used by authors in the study on the circular supply chain, using co-occurrence analysis or CoWordNet map. The review includes 26 full texts, identified in the four PRISMA phases for using the RIST in supply chains, which can be shifted from a linear economy to a Circular Economy.

Conclusion: The adoption of the RIST framework in the supply chain becomes necessary for migration from a linear economy to a circular supply chain.

Limitations: This research remains heuristic to show that the RIST framework is a practical way applicable to the circular supply chain, and to validate the applicability of the RIST framework within circular economy. The generalizability of the RIST model from this study to other applications in the supply chain literature, however, remains a topic for further research.
