Abstract
Digital technology with circular economy concepts is one of the game-changing strategies for sustainable development goals (SDGs). The digital circular economy presents possibilities and threats, which this section discusses. Concerns about data privacy and security, regulatory and economic hurdles, and the need for a shift in culture and behavior are among the most pressing problems. However, there are many chances to be innovative through working with others, forming partnerships, and expanding into new areas. Stakeholders may make strides towards a more sustainable and resilient economy by responding to these threats and capitalizing on these possibilities. To better understand and implement digital circular practices, future research should focus on creating standardized impact metrics, developing cutting-edge technologies, establishing supportive policy frameworks, gaining insights into consumer behavior, creating innovative business models, conducting sector-specific studies, considering social equity, collaborating globally, and ensuring long-term sustainability.
