Synopsis

Look around you. Everything you see was put there by one of us. By a supply chain professional. Every material that is in our economy today is there because we planned, sourced, made, moved, and managed it to where it is now.

Today, the relationship we have with materials needs to change.

The Circular Economy is an idea that materials deserve another shot at adding value in our economies. If we can use the principles of circularity, we can save the planet. In supply chain, we are the guardian angels of materials and inventory, and we have the power to change how to we operate today.

Across industries and around the world, supply chain professionals ask the same questions about what circularity means for our profession. The answers to these questions lay the foundation for us to have the conversations we need to have to keep our supply chains running - even as materials inside the earth dwindle and carbon emissions are on the rise.

Questions about Circular Supply Chains are answered in this book, such as:

  • Why should we use Circular Supply Chains?
  • Where can I get Circular Materials?
  • Can we make our supply chains shorter?
  • What about technology?
  • How do I take the next step?
  • And 12 more…

Circular Supply Chain is a winner. Deborah's affinity for and grasp of supply chain principles are clear throughout this thought provoking book. Most impressive is her ability to build logical bridges between classic supply chain concepts and the many breakthrough ideas she offers including the "characteristic" based BOM, "slow" inventory, and "X-as-a-service" business models, all of which beg for deeper discussion and a search for practical applications. This book is engaging, credible and important.” -- Kevin O'Marah, Supply Chain OG

" 'Circular Supply Chain' makes it - with great detail, speed and depth and examples from around the world - impossible for anyone with a supply chain to remain in their seat and keep up the status quo. By illustrating the life of pepper, as well as ancient Japanese concepts, together with practical guides - Deborah brings circular value chains into the domain of 'when', instead of 'if' " -- Laura Talsma, Product Manager, Circle Economy
