Circular Supply Chain and Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions are the Achille’s heel of corporate sustainability - difficult to measure, harder to control and often responsible for more than 70% of a company's carbon footprint. Traditional linear supply chains exacerbate this challenge by promoting a take-make-waste model that locks businesses into high emissions from raw material extraction, production and end-of-life disposal. This paper explores how the circular economy offers a strategic shift that not only reduces environmental impact but also strengthens supply chain resilience, cost efficiency and regulatory compliance.
