About the Book

The increasing global awareness of environmental problems and the creation of a 'global agenda for change', "The Brundtland Report" (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987), has affected industries worldwide. As a result, the awareness of product take-back and recovery activities has increased in various industry sectors but also attracted interest in academia. Reverse logistics and closed-loop supply chain management are just two examples of how environmental issues have been incorporated into an academic context. However, these areas of research may still be considered as fairly young. Hence, the lack of a distinct theoretical base for research in the area of closed-loop supply chain management has been considered as an issue by main contributors. This "Working Paper" aims to fill this gap by seeking to identify elements within existing theories that could explain observed phenomena in closed-loop supply chain research. Firstly, the "Working Paper" demonstrates the lack of a theoretical grounding for this relatively new field. Secondly, it explains why it is essential to any type of research to be provided with a theoretical framework in which testable hypotheses can be embedded. It also outlines the characteristics of a theory. Several concepts and theories, such as sustainable development, industrial ecology and systems thinking are reviewed and assessed with regard to the contribution they could make within the development of a theory for closed-loop supply chain management. The findings summarise and outline the aspects each individual theory provides. However, more empirical research needs to investigate real-world closed-loop supply chains in order to completely understand this new field of research.
