Abstract

The aim of this research is to propose an assessment framework for Circular supply chains management towards net zero targets in the Limburg region, the Netherlands. The methodology approach provides an assessment of the province Limburg and its sustainability development. Secondary data on sustainability policies, initiatives, indicators, and assessment frameworks for sustainable cities is collected in order to derive general insights regarding circular supply chain management in more detail. Results, various practices, targets and initiatives are being assessed to be able to evaluate the circular supply chain management of Limburg. Multiple initiatives working on the concepts of circular economy, and industrial symbiosis, towards a common goal of waste reduction towards net zero are being implemented. This leads to a vast amount of direct and indirect varying indicators. Thus, this research contributes to the field of supply chain management with a collection of relevant indicators to categorize the development of multiple practices and improvements for the integration of circular economy towards a sustainable supply chain future for sustainable cities.
