The challenging factors in the circular economy are cooperation, trust, and transparency. Therefore, to achieve sustainable results, collaboration, and openness between organizations within networks and value chains are required. This paper explores the sustainability success using the Sustainable Circular Business Model (SCBM) to incorporate the principle at an operational level and suggest a structure for combining Circular Business Model (CBM) and CSCM for sustainable growth. The proposed structure shows how various circular business structures power the global supply chain in multiple loops. The circular business models differ according to the difficulty of the Circular Supply Chain (CSC) and the value proposition. Proposed SCBM shows that circular market and supply chain aid in reaching goals for sustainability has been discussed in this research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer16040054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,8]],"date-time":"2021-03-08T12:12:18Z","timestamp":1615205538000},"page":"959-975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Sustainable Circular Business Model for Transparency and Uncertainty Reduction in Supply Chain Management"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Dawei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology, Maoming 525000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiuli","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology, Maoming 525000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunfeng","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology, Maoming 525000, China"},{"name":"School of Education and Modern Languages, College of Arts and Sciences, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok 06010, Kedah, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pooja","family":"Trivedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business at Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology, Seneca College, Toronto, ON M2J 5G3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4328-5902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanmugan","family":"Joghee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business, Skyline University College, Sharjah 1797, United Arab Emirates"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1218","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2016.07.020","article-title":"Design thinking to enhance the sustainable business modeling process\u2013A workshop based on a value mapping process","volume":"135","author":"Geissdoerfer","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
