Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although previous studies have been strived for exploring the frameworks/models of sustainable supply chain management for guiding the practices and offering the basis for strengthening the understanding of theory, it still encounters difficulty in addressing the sustainable issues for reaching the circular economy. As a result of the firms are used to adopt the traditional linear economy concept within their implementations; thus, it is very hard for them to shift this traditional concept into a circular type. To addressing this shifting concept in guiding the practices, Ellen MacArthur Foundation (2014) proposed a circular supply chain management (CSCM) in dealing with the waste flow by taking recycling, reusing, and reducing into account for reaching zero waste. Furthermore, the food delivery is very convenient for the quarantine during the COVID-19 situation, However, it generated huge of wastes from plastics or papers from the container of the food. These wastes can be recycled not even reach 50%, and the rest of the unrecycled waste will disposal by the traditional ways that may pollute the groundwater, air, and land. Therefore, it has an urgent need to explore the valid frameworks/models in guiding the firms, decision-makers, governments, and so on to deal with these issues. Because the sustainable issues are not getting slow while humans suffer the pandemic issue.
