Abstract

Addressing Sustainable Development issues in the industrial sector is a hot topic in the existing literature. Different production and consumption strategies have been introduced as drivers for sustainable development in manufacturing such as Circular Economy (CE). It covers a prominent position in boosting sustainable development. The adoption of the CE concept to manufacturing leads to Circular Manufacturing (CM). Different strategies and approaches have been investigated toward the transition to a Circular Manufacturing System (CMS). Although abundant studies have been focused on the adoption of CM strategies in manufacturing systems, the literature still lacks an overview of the challenges raised through this implementation in practice. To address this gap, the present study centres around looking through various definitions of CM, different methodologies and frameworks to adopt CM strategies and finally the challenges faced in putting these strategies into practice.
