The challenges posed by unsustainable practices in today's economy underscore the urgent need for a transition toward a circular economy (CE) and a holistic supply chain (SC) perspective. Benchmarking plays a pivotal role in managing circular SCs, offering a metric to gauge progress. However, the lack of consensus on the optimal benchmarking approach hampers effective implementation of circular business practices. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review of the literature, identifying 29 pertinent publications. The analysis revealed 30 unique attributes and sub-attributes for benchmarking circularity, which were clustered into five main attributes. The main attributes are goals, subjects, key performance indicators (KPIs), data sources, and evaluation methods, while the sub-attributes are organised as features of the main attributes and depicted as a feature model. Drawing from selected publications, we illustrated each feature with examples. Our model offers a comprehensive benchmarking reference for circularity and will be a valuable tool for managers in the transition toward circularity. Supply chains seeking to benchmark their transition to circularity can apply the reference model to ensure that their benchmarking strategy is consistent with state-of-the-art knowledge. By providing a generic circularity benchmarking approach that is valid for diverse economic sectors, our findings contribute to theoretical efforts to address the lack of generic frameworks for CE.
