Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate how the categories and practices of sustainable supply chain management influence the principles of circular economy, through a case study in a fresh fruit supply chain whose production side is in Brazil and demand side is in the United Kingdom. We build an integrative model that relates these constructs to the reduction of loss and waste in food supply chains. The results show that the fresh fruit supply chain is oriented towards sustainability, based on pressures from stakeholders. Therefore, it is market-driven, which may explain the imperfect fit to the proposed model.

新鲜水果供应链中的循环经济和可持续性：巴西和英国的一项研究

摘要

在本文中，我们通过对生产方在巴西而需求方在英国的新鲜水果供应链进行案例研究，评估可持续供应链管理的类别和实践如何影响循环经济原则。我们构建了一个综合模型，将这些结构与减少食品供应链中的损失和浪费联系起来。结果表明，基于利益相关者的压力，新鲜水果供应链以可持续性为导向。因此，它是市场驱动的，这可以解释对所提出模型的不完美拟合。
