| description | 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. |
