The manufacturer (whether he is a manufacturer of a product or a provider of any service) keeps these people in mind while producing his commodity so that these people are satisfied by the product which is being sold to them. Their satisfaction is known as consumer satisfaction and if they are satisfied then profits for the firm become quite inevitable (Lambert, 2005). The rationale behind this is very simple as your consumer becomes more satisfied, he will become more loyal to your product and will prefer to purchase your product only and the priority over other competitors will be set on your product. SCM is a dynamic concept, it doesn’t necessarily move in the same direction. It can be upstream and it can be downstream as well. Supply chains are not supposed to be considered linear every time (Garcıa-Dastugue, 2003). Upstream chains talk about those links which are coming into the organization and it could be in the form of raw materials or any sort of necessary information that is produced by the firm and then going outside (Simatupang, 2005). On the contrary, it can be downstream where finished goods are taken out of the organization. Downstream chains are those links through which the information or the product is taken out of the organization and it will be provided to its stakeholders (Halldorsson, 2007). The beauty of this concept can only be seen if the link is two-way. By a two-way link what we mean is that if some sort of information is transmitted

Research has shown that there has been a gradual shift from the traditional linear supply chain to a modern circular supply chain point of view. The idea of a circular economy was introduced to experts in the field in 2013. However, it wasn’t until recently that experts agreed on the impact of the circular economy and its role in forming the circular supply chain. Traditionally, supply chain strategy functioned on a linear approach transporting raw material to end customers. In 2016 supply chain strategy “circular” or “closed-loop” strategy was identified by experts as the new wave movement. This method focuses on moving used products back as raw materials. In 2016, experts agree that the circular supply chain will pose many challenges and opportunities for SCM professionals. One of those opportunities is Reverse logistics. The circular economy will force logistic and supply chain managers to adapt a forward moving approach to logistics and reverse logistics.

The greatest benefits are derived by extending the focus as far as possible upstream towards the raw materials, downstream towards the consumer and then back again as the product and wastes are recycled. Sustainable supply chains are among the biggest responsible business challenges. Accomplishing sustainable supply
