Circular Supply Chain Resilience

Innovate for a stable future

Discover how circular thinking can enhance supply chain resilience by reducing risks, streamlining materials, and fostering long-term stability.

Supply chains are under pressure from every angle—raw material volatility, regulatory demands, climate risk, and geopolitical instability. Traditional resilience models focused on buffers and contingencies are no longer enough.

This strategy paper outlines how circular economy principles can be embedded into supply chains to reduce exposure, simplify material flows, and build long-term stability. With a particular focus on material strategy, it explores how companies can redesign inputs, sourcing, and product structures to deliver resilience that pays off.

What's inside?
  • Circular strategies to reduce structural supply chain risk
  • Material strategy frameworks to guide sourcing decisions
  • Scalable use cases for modular design and reuse
  • Insights on regulatory and market shifts
  • H&Z’s proven approach to building circular resilience
