Abstract: Abstract The circular economy and circular supply chain (CSC) can be considered as environmentally friendly alternatives for the linear economy and linear supply chains. The objective of CSC is to apply the economic, social, and environmental dimensions to reduce the total consumed energy. Despite its growing importance and popularity, a limited number of studies have investigated the circular supply chain network design. This paper assesses the difference between CSC and the available known supply chains. A systematic review is conducted with a focus on energy consumption by applying optimization models. The results show that in approximately 9% of the mathematical models, three sustainability dimensions are included, and 63% of the proposed models apply deterministic models.
