  Sustainable Supply Chain Models for Polymer and Composite Manufacturing: A Data-Driven Assessment of Circular Material Flows

  By Vivek Hamal, Pravin Kumar, Sarita Murmu, Aparna Chakraborty, Saheb Debnath

  Abstract: Polymer and composite manufacturing is faced with growing demands in waste reduction, resource management, and making a shift towards circular economy principles. Although urgent, the adoption of data-driven tools in each step of a supply chain to facilitate efficient cyclic material flows is low. This paper designs and empirically analyzes sustainable supply chain design in polymer and composite production with a focus on digital traceability, closed-loop and material recovery, and …
