Beyond Sustainability: A Circular Approach to Building Supply Chain Resilience

The future of resilient supply chains is circular, and the key to reaching this state is a combination of traceability, transparency, and persistent identification.

The pandemic has exacerbated supply chain vulnerabilities that have resulted from linear, hyper-optimized, and efficiency focused operational models. In response, many companies have accelerated their implementation of technology solutions that overcome the disruptions of today. But to build the long-term resilient supply chains of tomorrow, circularity and standards must become the cornerstones of future strategies.

Set in the context of a post-pandemic “new normal,” this whitepaper will explore the benefits of a circular economy and its principles in supply chain systems. Scalable, interoperable, and resilient supply networks are achievable, but should be firmly based on global standards to leverage today's solutions to meet tomorrow's demands.
