EasyChair Preprint 12614

Abstract

As the world grapples with the challenges of resource depletion and environmental degradation, the transition to a circular economy has become imperative. In this context, blockchain technology has emerged as a promising tool to drive circular economy practices within supply chain management. This research paper explores the integration of blockchain technology to facilitate circular economy practices across supply chains. Through a comprehensive literature review, case studies, and empirical evidence, the paper examines how blockchain enables transparency, traceability, and accountability, thereby fostering circularity in material flows, resource utilization, and waste management. The paper discusses various blockchain-enabled circular economy initiatives, including product lifecycle tracking, materials traceability, reverse logistics optimization, and incentivized recycling programs.
