Abstract The transition from a linear to a circular economy (CE) is necessary, complex and requires a set of practices that develop resource value retention options (ROs). However, the current literature on the subject lacks studies that encompass and systematize practices aimed at the development of ROs along the value chain. The aim of this article is to propose a theoretical model that groups and explains how CE practices, carried out by companies from the perspective of the value chain, help to develop ROs. The model proposed in this article can be used to better understand how CE can be developed in the value chain, expanding current theoretical knowledge and helping stakeholders to establish and adopt strategies, plans and actions in their companies. This research applied the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method resulting in 143 articles from which CE practices were identified and categorized using a mixed inductive-deductive coding approach, considering the meaning and similarity between them and views of the value chain. Finally, the relationships between these practices and the ROs were analyzed and identified according to the 10R classification scheme. As a result, 33 circular value chain practices (CVCP) were identified classified into 8 primary and 6 support categories. Examples for each practice were also presented pointing out their relationships with the ROs. Analyzing the results, it was observed that stakeholders must understand and highlight in their plans three relevant aspects of the relationship between these practices and ROs: the range of CVCP, the RO Loops developed and the supply chain perspective. In addition, support practices must be planned and implemented in conjunction with primary ones.
