人口增长对自然资源造成巨大压力。在整个产品供应链中，原材料和废物的开采和消耗会对环境和社会经济产生巨大影响。减少这些影响的一种方法是向循环经济（CE）迈进。CE旨在通过创建一个可恢复、可再生和环境友好的生产到消费的整体供应链来解决社会面临的资源、废物和排放挑战。本文强调了研究的挑战，并确定了过程系统工程（PSE）的研究机会，以帮助在CE供应链的理解，分析和优化。咖啡供应链上的一个激励性的例子，介绍了向CE过渡的挑战，并提出PSE的研究机会。(C)2019爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Rising populations put huge stresses on natural resources. Extraction and depletion of raw materials and waste created throughout the supply chain of products have enormous environmental and socioeconomic impacts. One way to reduce these impacts is through the move towards the circular economy (CE). CE aims to solve resource, waste, and emission challenges confronting society by creating a production-to-consumption total supply chain that is restorative, regenerative, and environmentally benign. This article highlights research challenges and identifies process systems engineering (PSE) research opportunities to assist in the understanding, analysis and optimization of CE supply chains. A motivating example on the supply chain of coffee is introduced to illustrate the challenges of the transition towards a CE and to propose PSE research opportunities. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
