“…For instance, Savastano et al (2022) examine it from the perspective of a company; Cook et al (2022) focus on digital agriculture for a sustainable food system. It is worth mentioning that plenty of articles deal with digitalisation in a circular economy (Chauhan, Parida, and Dhir 2022;Denicolai, Zucchella, and Magnani 2021;Kusi-Sarpong et al 2021;Moreno et al 2019), and circular economy could be treated as a part of sustainable development. In other words, the digital economy has permeated almost all spheres of life as well as sustainable development issues.…”

The digital economy and sustainable development are treated as the world?s progress, and there is a vast number of papers investigating the indirect linkage between these two phenomena. However, there is a lack of studies analysing the direct influence. Hence, the purpose of the current paper is to find out if there is an impact of the digital economy, expressed by DESI sub-dimensions, on sustainable development, represented by SDGI. For that issue, statistical data covering 2017-2020 was gathered, and panel regression modelling was applied. The survey covers 28 EU countries (including the United Kingdom because the data was collected before Brexit). The findings revealed that DESI sub-dimensions influence SDGI; however, the impact was negative in most cases. Thus, the current paper showed that standard views on the influence of the digital economy are not always the right ones.

“…Big data and analytics serve the circular economy through their potential to optimize processes and enhance decision-making, using the data collected from the IoT to improve resource management across the entire product life cycle, from manufacturing to end of use [20,46]. Artificial intelligence can also be an effective tool in helping managers to identify hidden patterns [47]. For instance, the exploitation of data-driven decision-support platforms may provide efficient and reliable tools for decision-making in sustainable logistics systems [48].…”

“…This is achieved through the execution of smart contracts, leading to greater efficiency in operational processes [60]. Lastly, blockchain supports-and may facilitate the design of-incentive mechanisms (e.g., in the form of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies) to direct user behavior towards specific actions, such as participation in recycling schemes (e.g., bitcoins received in exchange for depositing old cans) [47,60,62].…”

The digital age we live in offers companies many opportunities to jointly advance sustainability and competitiveness. New digital technologies can, in fact, support the incorporation of circular economy principles into businesses, enabling new business models and facilitating the redesign of products and value chains. Despite this considerable potential, the convergence between the circular economy and these technologies is still underinvestigated. By reviewing the literature, this paper aims to provide a definition and a conceptual framework, which systematize the smart circular economy paradigm as an industrial system that uses digital technologies during the product life-cycle phases to implement circular strategies and practices aimed at value creation. Following this conceptualization, the classical, underlying circular economy principle, ‘waste equals food’, is reshaped into an equation more fitting for the digital age—that is to say, ‘waste + data = resource’. Lastly, this paper provides promising research directions to further develop this field. To advance knowledge on the smart circular economy paradigm, researchers and practitioners are advised to: (i) develop research from exploratory and descriptive to confirmatory and prescriptive purposes, relying on a wide spectrum of research methodologies; (ii) move the focus from single organizations to the entire ecosystem and value chain of stakeholders; (iii) combine different enabling digital technologies to leverage their synergistic potential; and (iv) assess the environmental impact of digital technologies to prevent potential rebound effects.
