Abstract
Amid escalating diverse disruption risks, resource scarcity, and tightening regulatory pressures on sustainable practices, integrating the circular economy (CE) and resilience thinking has become an urgent priority for contemporary supply chain management (SCM). Without integrating CE principles with resilience thinking simultaneously, firms remain exposed to either resource scarcity or disruption. This paper systematically reviews the emerging intersection of CE and resilience principles in SCM, framed as Circular Supply Chain Management (CSCM) and Supply Chain Resilience (SCR), tracing the evolution of key themes, standard practices, and performance outcomes. It identifies research gaps and offers future directions to support the development of more sustainable and adaptive supply chains. A two-stage methodology was adopted. Informal interviews with supply chain managers across four supply chains provided contextual insights, which guided a systematic literature review (SLR) of 175 peer-reviewed articles published in the last two decades. Bibliometric and content analyses were used to identify thematic clusters and evaluate scholarly developments. The review highlights gaps in upstream collaboration, the temporal dynamics between CSCM and SCR, and the need for integrated performance metrics. It outlines five key supply chain practices that simultaneously support circularity and resilience: (1) product (re)design, (2) process improvement, (3) network development, (4) knowledge sharing across partners, and (5) technological capability building. This paper offers the first comprehensive synthesis of CSCM-SCR research. It provides practitioners with a framework of 64 practices and 43 performance metrics while also recommending scholars with a critical foundation for advancing multidisciplinary, underutilised theoretical lenses in aligning future research.
