| Abstract | ||||
| In recent years, an inappropriate and uncontrolled utilization of limited natural resources has contributed to the generation of tremendous volumes of waste which is now a source of danger to the ecosystem. Therefore, the concept of the circular economy has gained prominence as one of the main instruments that can help businesses run their sustainable supply chain activities. The concept of the circular economy is becoming increasingly attractive to corporations seeking to revamp their sustainable supply chain management practices. This evolution in corporate strategy is evident in the growing body of literature on the topic, which remains to be fully cataloged and analyzed. The research aims to study new developments in scientific research related to Circular economy supply chain strategies. It will investigate advanced methods and approaches in the same field. The objective is to understand how circular economy principles can be applied successfully to improve resource use efficiency, reduce waste generation, and ensure sustainability in supply chain management. This research involved an extensive examination of worldwide literature on the subject, using databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Using the R language and bibliometric package, we conducted a meticulous bibliometric analysis. Visualization techniques were applied to provide researchers with a clear overview and facilitate a better understanding of specific areas within the research. The results provide insights into the evolution of research on " circular economy supply chain strategies research'' and identify significant contributors, countries, and institutions. It acknowledges the limitations of the study, including the possibility of overlooking relevant documents due to the focus on fully published papers in English and the absence of similar existing research. The research aims to present a comprehensive overview of this research field, but the limitations in data collection, particularly regarding potential language bias and the possibility of omitting non-English publications, are acknowledged. The research paper delves into a multitude of categories that were meticulously used to classify the chosen documents. These categories cover various areas including sustainable development, reverse logistics, waste management, supply chain management, recycling and reuse, closed loop, backward logistics, sustainable resource management, zero-waste systems, circular supply chain, product life extension, and manufacturing development. | ||||
