Abstract: Abstract Greening of supply chains is critical for circular economy practices to be sustainable. In this chapter, we overview both these concepts. The circular economy—although popular as a policy and industry concern—has not achieved a consensus definition. One clear characteristic is that it is a system and can be evaluated at multiple levels. The supply chain represents one of these levels and greening of supply chains plays an important role in the instantiation of the circular economy. Technological, organizational, and external characteristics are each evaluated at the nexus of these two concepts. A number of managerial skills and capabilities are identified within this nexus.
