Did you know that moving from a linear to a circular supply chain can increase resilience, as well as reducing costs and emissions among other benefits? The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s recently published whitepaper on Building a circular supply chain is an essential resource for supply chain professionals highlighting exactly this. Deborah Dull Laura Franco Henao Douglas Kent Andres Oliva Lozano shared many valuable insights on the launch webinar yesterday hosted by the EMF.

Here are some of our top takeaways:
🎨 Collaboration between design and supply chain teams is essential for the seamless implementation of circular business models
🎯 Rather than viewing circularity as the ultimate objective, use it as a pathway to achieve your existing goals, such as cost and lead time targets, in a more efficient way
💡 We don’t have to keep accepting traditional ways of doing things when it comes to supply chain management, it’s time to shake up our thinking and reimagine what’s possible
