“…The results include better management of production factors with a reduction in human stress, the exchange of continuous communications between industry and users, more exceptional ability and assistance in identifying technological solutions applicable to sustainability, a greater connection between the subjects within the production process, an automated collection of information before the process with a better sustainable impact, and the use of big data to map more sustainable processes with greater efficiency, more excellent distribution of the production process with a reduction in energy consumption and, finally, a significant interconnectedness with the network which leads to an ability of the relationship process (Beier, Ullrich, Niehoff, Reißig, & Habich, 2020). The issue of sustainability and Industry 4.0‐related technologies is increasingly associated with waste and the economy put in place to better manage this aspect (Fatimah, Govindan, Murniningsih, & Setiawan, 2020; Kang, Kang, Ilankoon, & Chong, 2020; Sharma et al, 2020). Nevertheless, the relationship between the sustainability model implemented by Industry 4.0‐related technologies like IoT, artificial intelligence and big data analytics to the global economy is still far from a clear definition and possible practical implication.…”

The union between Industry 4.0 and the circular economy (CE) appears relatively recent. In this sense, new trading zones for sharing a common scenario among academics and practitioners are needed. The paper aims to investigate the link between Industry 4.0 and the CE by understanding how Industry 4.0 can foster the impact of the CE on companies. The study proposes a broader perspective that includes thematic and content analysis gathering data on professional documents based on business cases, newspaper articles, press releases and specialised blogs, as well as scientific papers. The joint academic‐practitioners view highlights how Industry 4.0 has the potential to impact on the CE through countless actions: increasing waste disposal; promoting remanufacturing; enhancing the efficiency of critical resources such as water, energy, gas and CO2; and improving business models and the mission of companies. However, barriers still exist in its adoption, stressing the need for holistic and integrated design and a proactive environment of collaboration among stakeholders. Results lead to practical as well as research implications.

“…IoT technologies could also be successfully implemented in a circular economy concept as above already mentioned, especially in smart waste management systems and environment protection as already mentioned. The role of IoT technologies in e-waste was discussed in ( Kang et al., 2020 ) for the case of the Malaysian recycling sector. A novel smart waste collection box was designed together with a user friendly mobile application, Fig.…”

“…IoT technologies could also be used for the smart coordination of waste trucks ( Idwan et al., 2020 ) and efficiency waste utility companies could be ensured in that manner, which would be followed by a reduction of harmful emissions (pollutants) created by garbage trucks, ( Kozina et al., 2020 ). From the perspective of smart technologies, the proper and IoT based waste management of electronic waste is very important ( Kang et al., 2020 ) to secure sufficient raw resources to produce electronic equipment as already highlighted. IoT technologies could also be used for the reduction of food waste through intelligent appliances and a developed management structure in that sense, ( Liegeard and Manning, 2020 ).…”

The rapid development and implementation of smart and IoT (Internet of Things) based technologies have allowed for various possibilities in technological advancements for different aspects of life. The main goal of IoT technologies is to simplify processes in different fields, to ensure a better efficiency of systems (technologies or specific processes) and finally to improve life quality. Sustainability has become a key issue for population where the dynamic development of IoT technologies is bringing different useful benefits, but this fast development must be carefully monitored and evaluated from an environmental point of view to limit the presence of harmful impacts and ensure the smart utilization of limited global resources. Significant research efforts are needed in the previous sense to carefully investigate the pros and cons of IoT technologies. This review editorial is partially directed on the research contributions presented at the 4th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies held in Split and Bol, Croatia, in 2019 (SpliTech 2019) as well as on recent findings from literature. The SpliTech2019 conference was a valuable event that successfully linked different engineering professions, industrial experts and finally researchers from academia. The focus of the conference was directed towards key conference tracks such as Smart City, Energy/Environment, e-Health and Engineering Modelling. The research presented and discussed at the SpliTech2019 conference helped to understand the complex and intertwined effects of IoT technologies on societies and their potential effects on sustainability in general. Various application areas of IoT technologies were discussed as well as the progress made. Four main topical areas were discussed in the herein editorial, i.e. latest advancements in the further fields: (i) IoT technologies in Sustainable Energy and Environment, (ii) IoT enabled Smart City, (iii) E-health – Ambient assisted living systems (iv) IoT technologies in Transportation and Low Carbon Products. The main outcomes of the review introductory article contributed to the better understanding of current technological progress in IoT application areas as well as the environmental implications linked with the increased application of IoT products.

We live in complex times in the health, social, political, and energy spheres, and we must be aware of and implement new trends in intelligent social health systems powered by the Internet of Things (IoT). Sustainable development, energy efficiency, and public health are interrelated parameters that can transform a system or an environment for the benefit of people and the planet. The integration of sensors and smart devices should promote energy efficiency and ensure that sustainable development goals are met. This work is carried out according to a mixed approach, with a literature review and an analysis of the impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on the applications of the Internet of Things and smart systems. In the analysis of results, the following questions are answered about these systems and applications: a) Are IoT applications key to the improvement of people’s health and the environment? b) Are there research and case studies implemented in cities or territories that demonstrate the effectiveness of IoT applications and their benefits to public health? c) What sustainable development indicators and objectives can be assessed in the applications and projects analyzed?
