چکیده
Recent studies have advocated that digital technologies (DTs) positively affect the transition of a linear economy model to circular (CE) and facilitate enterprises in implementing strategies. Despite this general statement, literature still overlooks how should apply various DTs Industry 4.0 across entire product lifecycle operationalize CE-related To fill gap, paper proposes conceptual framework exploring terms CE operationalization from perspective lifecycle. Based on insights gained through systematic review, we clarify can performance objectives three stages lifecycle: design, use, recovery or recycling. Furthermore, study DTs, such as Internet things, big data, cloud computing, are utilized toward CE. applied service-oriented product-service system contributes innovation into business models make full use idle resources provide high-quality personalized services. We adopted objectives: using fewer materials resources, extending lifespan, closing loop evaluate effects promoting development. By investigating objectives, developed advances knowledge regarding role an enabler Our findings practical reference enabling researchers managers harness potential support transition.
