Sustainability concerns in supply chains have become increasingly pronounced due to the environmental, social, and economic impacts of global production and distribution networks. These challenges encompass issues such as the significant carbon footprint of transportation and logistics, the proliferation of waste from excessive packaging and disposable products, and the depletion of natural resources through extraction and consumption. To address these challenges, Circular Supply Chains (CSC) have emerged as a paradigm shift in supply chain management. Circular supply chain management is the integration of circular economy (CE) paradigm principles into supply chain management. Unlike traditional linear supply chains, which follow a 'take-make-dispose' model, circular supply chains aim to close the material and energy loop through the restorative and regenerative cycles with a vision of zero waste [1]. Sustainability is operationalized inside a circular supply chain through strategies of the Circular Economy (CE) [2]. The circular strategies include the 3R, 4R, 6R or 9R frameworks [3]. The circular strategies may not necessarily lead to more sustainability [4,5].To this effect, any decision regarding the implementation of circular practices inside a supply chain to obtain more sustainability depends upon the performance measurement of circular supply chains. So, a performance measurement system for circular supply chains is needed. The current literature lacks a holistic performance measurement system that addresses the complex relationships between circular strategies and the sustainability performance of circular supply chains. To address this gap, the objective of this study is to propose a holistic conceptual performance measurement system (PMS) for circular supply chain management (CSCM).
