	This study expands the environmental sustainability paradigm of reverse supply chains. The study examines the notion of closed-loop supply chains and suggests the use of the term in academia and business is too limited from a sustainability perspective. Three case examples in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/automotives&quot; title=&quot;Learn more about Automotives from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages&quot;&gt;automotive&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/remanufacturing&quot; title=&quot;Learn more about Remanufacturing from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages&quot;&gt;remanufacturing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;were chosen to represent a global, multi-tier industry with documented&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/circular-economy&quot; title=&quot;Learn more about Circular Economy from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages&quot;&gt;circular economy&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;strategies.

The study considers how these alternative loops contribute to environmental sustainability by looking at market dynamics and relations between business actors in supply chains in automotive remanufacturing. Alternative loops may contribute to product displacement activities in the market and thus provide positive environmental and resource results. The narrow focus on “closed loops” in supply-chain research and industry simplifies potential benefits and weaknesses, and overlooks the contribution of “open loops” in supply chains, which enable business innovation and can improve sustainability outcomes in product and material supply chains.
