Manufacturers’ adoption of circularity science in supply chains and its perceived viability to promote sustainable performance: Qualitative-empirical evidence from Kenya by Mary Aming’a, Jonathan Annan, Reuben Marwanga

“…From the second level, the results of this paper highlight the importance of circularity science in supply chains,which is classified as circularity for procurement and design, production circularity, logistics circularity (forward and reverse), and collaborative circularity under various aspects such as recycling mechanisms, resource optimization, and impact monitoring. Even with the minimal adoption of these circularity science practices among manufacturing SMEs, with manufacturers reporting not seeing the value in reverse logistics, the perceived viability of its adoption is clear to foster sustainability. …”
