The challenge of the circular economy affects not only the production systems, but increasingly concerns industrial sectors, lifestyles, and the habits of every citizen.

Abstract
The challenge of the circular economy affects not only the production systems, but increasingly concerns industrial sectors, lifestyles, and the habits of every citizen. Soon, companies and citizens will collaborate more and more for projects aimed at favoring the improvement of the recovery of materials. Starting from the premise, the present research aims to propose a holistic approach for a collaboration model to purse a digital circular economy. In this sense, it is necessary to critically rethink the culture of production going beyond the culture of waste to its reuse for the creation of new “supply chains”. Considering the above, the research aims to focus on the coffee supply chain considering that coffee is the second-largest beverage consumed around the world and the second largest traded commodity after petroleum. The basic idea is a reconfiguration of the supply chain making it more sustainable and more digitized than it is today. Thus, the aim of the research is to ‘design’ an integrated physical internet platform –PRISMA Platform (Physical internet RegeneratIve Sustainable MAterials) - to make the spent coffee grounds (SCGs) recovery activity with almost no waste.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
