This model emphasizes the use of resources by minimizing waste and maximizing product lifespan, facilitated by digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and big data analytics. By integrating these technologies, businesses can track the lifecycle of products, optimize supply chains, and create new business models that prioritize reuse and recycling. This approach reduces the strain on natural resources while fostering economic growth and resilience by creating value from waste materials. As organizations embrace a digital circular economy, they pave the way for sustainable practices and redefine the relationship between consumption and environmental stewardship. Innovating Sustainability Through Digital Circular Economy delves into the effects of a digital circular economy on sustainable development goals. It offers solutions that address issues of waste management, resource recovery, and economic development. This book covers topics such as digital technology, policymaking, and sustainable development, and is a useful resource for economists, environmental scientists, computer engineers, business owners, academicians, and researchers.
