Abstract
One issue that needs to be addressed in the logistics and transport operations literature is the analysis of the role of freight transport within a circular economy, from the perspective of organizational sustainable global life cycle thinking and management. This chapter aims therefore to examine the impact of integrating transport and logistics decisions along the supply chain on circular economy practices. The timber supply chain simulation presented in this chapter shows that managerial decisions affect transportation environmental impacts.
