This book explores how circular economy can be applied globally, and what its reshaping potential could prove for industries, communities, and for our lives in future. It discusses how the concept of a circular economy offers an innovative and transformative approach that not only mitigates the negative impacts of traditional linear models, but also unlocks a vast potential for growth and social progress that is underutilized. In order to achieve the objectives of this book, the design and conceptualization have been based on the advantages, as well as the commitment of digital circular economy to maintain environmental sustainability as per the SDGs. With the goal of inspiring readers and policymakers alike to adopt sustainable practices and drive positive change for their respective industries, this book presents to the readers and policymakers the possibilities of sustainable practices. Additionally, it describes how embracing a digital circular economy can reduce waste, increase resource efficiency, and make the economy more resilient and regenerative. Providing practical examples and policy recommendations along with a strategic roadmap, this book provides useful insights and support in defining a path to a more sustainable future.
