This research is guided by the following research question: How and at what levels of decision-making can CE strategies be implemented by actors at each level to increase resilience? To answer this question and thus bridge an existing research gap, it is analyzed how resilience differs in a linear and a circular environment. One important distinction in that research context is that between static and dynamic resilience. While static resilience is the ability to absorb disruption and subsequently return to the original state, dynamic resilience aim towards the evolution of a system to a new equilibrium that is similar to but better than the old one. Our analysis compares a traditional, linear supply chain with a circular supply chain in terms of resilience. It follows the SCOR processes and thoroughly takes a closer look at the micro, meso and macro level as well as the different planning horizons.

Key words: circular economy; resilience; decision level; SCOR; micro, meso, and macro level
