近年来，越来越多的企业采用积极的可持续发展战略，并制定可持续的供应链管理实践。研究人员将闭环供应链（CLSC）模型确定为实现可持续运营的主要贡献者之一。这类模型通常只使用产品流作为分析单位，本文旨在为开发新的CLSC模型提供基础，将其扩展到从一般产出（例如不可避免的废物）中回收资源，而产品没有价值。新的模式也影响了CLSC的配置，不同的资源供应商和物流供应商。本文分析的案例研究来自食品行业，其中产生的废物作为资源再利用，避免了不同材料的资源化处理，回收活动，使废物返回到主供应链作为有价值的投入，以配置一个新的供应链。本研究的主要目标是创造一种新的可持续的CLSC模式，利用和回收肉类加工中的废物。一个盈利能力指标，能源自给自足的一个和社会影响的定性评估，以评估全球可持续发展的机会，激活新的循环。
Recently more and more companies are adopting proactive sustainable strategies and developing sustainable supply chain management practices. Researchers identify Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) models as one of the major contributors to realising sustainable operations. Such models typically use flows concerning the products only as the unit of analysis.This paper intends to provide a basis for developing new CLSC models, extending them to recovery resources from general outputs (e.g. unavoidable waste) with no value in terms of products. The new models affect also the configuration of the CLSC, with different set of resource suppliers and logistics providers.The case study analysed in this paper derives from the food sector, in which the waste produced is reused as a resource, avoiding the disposal of different materials through resource-recovery activities that allow waste to be returned to the main supply chain as valuable inputs to configure a new supply chain.The principal objective of this study is to create a new sustainable model of CLSC using and recovering waste from meat processing. A profitability indicator, an energy self-sufficiency one and a qualitative assessment of social implications are introduced to evaluate global sustainability opportunities for activating new loops.
