Abstract:
The circular economy (CE) is a promising model for sustainability, and digitalization is crucial for transitioning to this model, serving as an enabler for enhancing circular principles. Despite the impact of the CE on the lifecycle of products, a comprehensive understanding of the effects is lacking. This paper addresses this gap by developing a circular product life cycle model that especially focuses on digital technologies. Utilizing a systematic literature review and thematic content analysis, the model provides a comprehensive framework for the investigation of key processes in the CE.
