ABSTRACT
Closed‐loop supply chain (CLSC) management has evolved to be a mature area of Supply Chain Management in its own right. The entry describes the research and relates case study examples of its application. Recent studies are at the intersection of other disciplines, drawing on concepts from industrial ecology, studying marketing issues such as the pricing and positioning of new and remanufactured products. Research in closed‐loop supply chains is moving in an interdisciplinary direction. The authors conclude that this is of value, as the “messier” problems in industry tend to require an interdisciplinary approach.
