Summary
This 2023 paper synthesises literature on the adoption of smart technologies within circular economy frameworks, identifying organisational and systemic drivers and barriers to implementation. The authors examine how companies' integration of smart circular economy practices correlates with performance improvements, though specific performance metrics and empirical findings would require access to the full text. The work sits at the intersection of technology adoption, sustainability transitions, and business strategy.
