systematic review, circular economy, coffee value chain, sustainability, coffeeAbstract
The research aimed to systematize the existing knowledge on the procedures for the viability of the circular economy in the coffee packaging industry, through a systematic review. Key barriers and strategies for its adoption were identified, providing a framework on sustainable practices and productive efficiency. Through the analysis of various researches, different sustainable procedures and practices were evaluated, such as the reuse of by-products and the optimization of the value chain, highlighting the importance of material flows from coffee production to packaging and distribution; The standardization of the circular economy in the industry will generate economic, environmental and social benefits to contribute to a more sustainable future for the coffee industry.
