Circular Supply Chain

Duration:

2-4 weeks flexible engagement

This engagement supports management in strengthening supply chains through circular approaches that improve resilience, cost control, and long-term access to materials.

The work begins by mapping current material flows, logistics services, finished products, and product returns to clarify dependencies and risk exposure. Following this current-state analysis, circular approaches such as product life extension, take-back schemes, and material recovery are evaluated for suitability.

Because suppliers, logistics providers, and specialist partners are critical to any circular supply chain, procurement plays a central role in building the long-term collaborations required. Dialogues with persons in procurement and supply chain functions serve to ground the analysis in operational realities and highlight practical constraints and opportunities.

The outcome is a clear strategic direction for circular supply chain development, showing how procurement and supply chain decisions can support resilience, lower total costs, and reduce dependency on virgin material extraction.
