From Sustainable Global Value Chains to Circular Economy—Different Silos, Different Perspectives, but Many Opportunities to Build Bridges
Open accessAbstract
A growing interest in the circular economy concept has pushed the discourse in various management-related disciplines beyond established boundaries, with calls to better address how such a model may be developed in a world of global value chains. Still, the conventional linear economy model continues to dominate business, society, and research. While the concept of better connecting physical output and input flows at multiple production or consumption levels is becoming more accepted, it remains unclear how to make this happen while ensuring that sustainability targets are met or exceeded. Multiple scientific communities contribute different perspectives to this discourse, with promising opportunities for research. Circular economy and sustainability from business and economics perspectives are multifaceted. The existing body of knowledge needs to be advanced to assist private individuals, business managers, investors, or policymakers in making informed decisions. In this article for the inaugural issue, we provide a snapshot of the discourses among those who have studied the circular economy and its related topics. We outline conceptual inroads and potential research questions to encourage further circular economy and sustainability research and discourse from business or economics perspectives as well as from the broader transdisciplinary angle. We propose three research pathways: (1) connecting output with input needs in a global circular economy; (2) beyond today's business logic for a global circular economy; and (3) inclusion of the Global South in North-dominated circular economies. For each, we propose concepts, theories, or methodological approaches and offer various perspectives from the micro, macro, and meso levels.

Research in the area of CE and DPP requires forward-looking and holistic approaches.
“research in this area requires forward-looking and holistic approaches (Hofstetter et al., 2021).”
From Orchestrating a smart circular economy: Guiding principles for digital product passports (2023) · cites this paper as Hofstetter et al., 2021
The Circular Economy Financing section (page unavailable) calls for a holistic approach, and the Circular Economy: Design Thinking section argues for studying how circular-economy processes evolve rather than viewing a snapshot in time. These passages support forward-looking, holistic CE research, but the paper does not address digital product passports (DPP), so it does not establish the claim for that specific area. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCE and DPP have not yet been implemented at a large scale and both are multifaceted concepts.
“Given that CE and DPP have not yet been implemented at a large scale and both are multifaceted concepts, research in this area requires forward-looking and holistic approaches (Hofstetter et al., 2021).”
From Orchestrating a smart circular economy: Guiding principles for digital product passports (2023) · cites this paper as Hofstetter et al., 2021
The Introduction describes the transition to a circular economy as poorly understood, and the Summary and Implications describes CE research as fragmented and endorses holistic thinking. These passages support the claim's characterization of CE as multifaceted and still developing, but the paper does not establish that CE has not been implemented at large scale. Searches for DPP and digital product passports found no passage addressing their implementation or complexity. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCurrently, fully circular product systems do not exist at scale, with the exception of small-scale pilots for regional industrial symbiosis or partial products internal to a single firm.

From Orchestrating a smart circular economy: Guiding principles for digital product passports (2023) · cites this paper as Hofstetter et al., 2021
The 'Circular Economy: Design Thinking Allows Us to Map the Journey' section (page unavailable) describes Dell’s pilot recycling supply chain as a step toward, rather than the completion of, a circular-economy goal. 'Innovation in the Circular Economy: Looking Beyond Boundaries' (page unavailable) identifies industrial symbiosis as a collaborative approach. Neither passage establishes that fully circular product systems do not exist at scale or that the only exceptions are regional pilots or partial products within a single firm. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
