Circular Economy and Digital Transformation: Bridging Sustainability and Innovation in Global Supply Chains

Summary/Abstract: The transition from linear to circular supply chains is crucial for achieving sustainability in the era of climate change. Digital transformation technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are pivotal in enabling this shift. This paper explores the intersection of the circular economy and digital innovation, addressing how these technologies optimize resource use, reduce waste, and enhance the socio-economic impact of global supply chains. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study bridges gaps in existing literature by focusing on practical applications and challenges faced by industries in adopting digital solutions for sustainable supply chains. The research examines various industries, including manufacturing, fashion, and electronics, to highlight real-world implementations of digital transformation technologies in circular supply chains. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on sustainability, innovation, and the future of global trade systems, offering actionable insights for policymakers, businesses, and researchers on achieving a climate-resilient, circular economy.
