Roy et al [19] developed a closed loop system for conservation of fresh water at household user point. While, Conforto [20] proposed an innovative platform, based on machine learning and blockchain etc., for a for proper waste management.…”

Today, the issue of economic circularity is certainly not a new concept. It represents an essential issue in any production system since it is an alternative to the current production and consumption model. The importance of the topic is confirmed worldwide. However, there is still a “circularity gap” that can be bridged in the short and medium term, probably with the use of innovative and digital technologies. In fact, many researchers agree that the sustainable future can be achieved in the long term thanks to digital technologies (i.e., IoT, artificial intelligence, quantum computing etc.) which, thanks to their speed of calculation, are able to identify the right solutions at the right time. The challenge, therefore, will be to develop innovative technologies and tools for the efficient use of resources in industries for sustainable production. Thus, the aim of this study is to define the current state of the art and future research developments in this very promising field. To achieve this goal, the integration of a “set” of tools, based on the AHP method and the PRISMA protocol, is proposed. The results aim to be a guideline for decision makers and researchers interested in this topic.

“…Conversely, the circular economy introduces a water management framework that shifts focus from the "take, make, consume and waste" principles (International Water Association, 2016; Roy et al, 2019). The circular water management framework provides an opportunity for society to recognize and capture the full value of water.…”

“…The reshaping substantially reduces water wastage, improves water reusing and enhances recovery processes. Additionally, Roy et al (2019) opine that rethinking can help to save and conserve water by adapting water management practices to close loops. Developing a water conservation system in a closed-loop model can offer solutions that will generate positive utility and economic value in an environmentally friendly design.…”

PurposeThe purpose is to conduct a systematic review of circular water management and its role in improving water availability amid increased demand and decreased supply.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was implemented, which helped in the identification, selection and critical appraisal of the various research to answer the research question. It was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) statement. The review was conducted mainly on Web of Science and Scopus databases between November 20 and December 8, 2022, with search strategies involving free-text searching, phrase searching, truncation and Boolean operators.FindingsThe search process yielded 46 articles exploring circular water management. The findings reveal that circular water management offers more promise than linear or business-as-usual approaches. There are various circular water management models, although most of them emphasize a shift from the “take, make, consume and waste” principles. Contrarily, the success of the circular water management framework hinges on its ability to embrace resilience based on changing environmental conditions. Furthermore, the model focuses on improving inclusiveness with various stakeholders working together to improve water management.Originality/valueThe research is the first of its kind as it identifies a critical gap, the imperative need to develop a universal framework that can significantly advance the comprehension of circular water management.

“…As energy consumption in hotels has become a major issue in their operations, it is essential to use conservation practices to reduce energy use. In particular, to conserve water and energy throughout the hotel, water‐efficient equipment (P14) can be installed in hotel rooms, such as low flow/smart showerheads, low‐flow sinks, low‐flow toilets, and good sanitation practices (Han et al, 2018; Punitha & Rasdi, 2013; Roy et al, 2019). Hotels should also be equipped with electronic sensors to provide power (P16) or use high‐tech hotel key cards to switch off electricity automatically when guest rooms are not in use.…”

The hospitality industry has been highlighted as an important economic sector that is vulnerable to climate change. However, this industry is also considered to have a substantial contribution to the degradation of the environment by consuming excessive quantities of energy, producing approximately 8% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Previous studies have proposed the circular economy as an optimal concept to address this issue by eliminating waste and maximizing resource utilization. In light of that, many hotels are striving to shift the traditional linear economy into a circular economy by adopting green marketing into their business operations. However, they still face many obstacles in making an effective transition to a circular‐style economy due to the lack of an appropriate approach. To fill this gap, this study aims to develop a framework to give insights on which aspects can foster the circular economy transition process through green marketing implementation. Therefore, this study proposes a hybrid method that integrates an exploratory factor analysis with a fuzzy synthetic method and a decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory to structure the hierarchical model and provide guidance to decision‐makers for future improvements under resource constraints. The results reveal that advantage acquisition and behavior transition are the most influential aspects in accelerating the transition to the circular economy in the hospitality industry. The crucial theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.
