For　the　last　two　decades,　the　topic　of　sustainable　supply　chains　has　evoked　considerable　interest　from　academics　and　practitioners.　Within　this　context,　Resources,　Conservation　and　Recycling　(RCR)　and　its　two　predecessors　(Resources　and　Conservation,　and　Conservation　and　Recycling)　have　provided　a　platform　for　the　exchange　of　technological,　economic,　institutional　and　policy　aspects　to　help　societies　transition　toward　sustainability.　The　current　article　analyses　the　published　research　works　in　the　RCR　literature　within　the　context　of　sustainable　supply　chain　modeling　by　employing　a　content　analysis　literature　review　technique.　Using　the　body　of　available　literature　in　RCR,　the　articles　on　sustainable　supply　chain　are　analyzed　in　terms　of　the　following:　(1)　publication　per　year,　(2)　top-cited　papers　across　time,　(3)　most　productive　and　influential　authors,　institutions　and　countries　(4)　supply　chain　related　topical　themes,　(5)　research　methodologies　applied,　(6)　illustration　types　and　(7)　industries　addressed.　The　analysis　revealed　that　the　call　for　incorporating　sustainability　(i.e.,　economic,　social,　and　environmental　pillars)　into　supply　chain　operations　has　increased　in　recent　years　in　RCR　publications.　Finally,　the　comprehensive　findings　and　interpretations　are　presented,　as　well　as　the　primary　current　trends,　future　challenges,　directions　and　opportunities.
