Abstract
The Circular Economy is one of the promising solutions to address environmental challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, pollution, and waste. However, the implementation of the Circular Economy remains limited due to economic and financial barriers. This paper proposes to overcome these barriers by designing a decision support system for hyperconnected circular supply chain network design, leveraging opportunities offered by collaborative networks and the Physical Internet. A methodology inspired by Herbert Simon's decision-making theory is developed, including the intelligence, design, choice, and implementation phases. Specifically, a matrix for strategic options is proposed to elaborate scenarios for the design phase. A case study on the electric retrofit of Internal Combustion Engine vehicles illustrates the proposed methodology.
