The Efficient sustainable systems and circular economy models represent a new type of synergy to design modern productive systems that may lead to dematerialization. The goal of this systems is to reduce waste from manufacturing processes and services and reduce the consumption of virgin materials. This can be achieved with the use of closed-circuit models that include efficient work elements withing the manufacturing process, yielding in value-added products. While a variety of scopes have been explored, the diffusion of the synergy between Lean and Circular Economy (CE) has been hampered due to the dynamic change of CE bases. The objective of this article is to address three challenges: (i) Identify the main boosters and key controllers of the adjusted production systems, as presented in literature, that may increase the adoption of the Lean philosophy in manufacturing companies. (ii) Develop a Lean implementation framework and analyze the interactions between the Lean approach main boosters and key controllers, and (iii) Provide tools to achieve a synergy between Lean and CE. The findings of this literature review are structured in a holistic framework that underlines a multidimensional approach to sustainability. The current available information is segmented in economic value, environmental, social, and politic aspects. This study provides an insight into these four aspects that allows professionals and academics to understand the different scopes affected by production models.
