“…The study analyzed the impact of impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on adoption of technological innovation and CE using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. Soldatos et al (2021) proposed a digital platform for the CE paradigm. The study facilitated the efforts towards zero waste processes in continuation with an evaluation of circular supply chain performance.…”

PurposeA digital supply chain (DSC) positively enhances circular economy (CE) practices. However, what factors and conditions lead to the implementation of DSC for transitioning toward CE is not yet clear. Therefore, this study aims at identifying and subsequently analyzing the antecedents of DSC for CE.Design/methodology/approachThe study identifies major antecedents of DSC for CE to achieve sustainability objectives through literature review and expert opinions. In this study, 19 potential antecedents of DSCs for CE are established from the literature and suggestions from industry professionals. A trapezoidal fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach is applied quantitatively to investigate the antecedents identified.FindingsConducted in the context of Indian automobile manufacturing industry, the findings of the study reflect that advanced information sharing arrangement, effective government policies for DSC and CE implementation and digitalizing the supply chains are the top three potential antecedents of DSC for a CE.Originality/valueIn the existing literature, few studies are specific to investigating the DSC and CE paradigm. The present study will help organizations develop a practical and integrated strategic approach that will foster DSC through improved knowledge of CE.

“…• Software and simulation technologies describe the software required to implement CE applications. Important concepts include digital platforms connecting CE stakeholders, or mobile applications for increasing the outreach of CE to end users [84]. Further, simulation models and tools can help analyzing potential CE solutions and optimize them according to CE metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).…”

The present study proposes the use of intelligent materials in the design of products, as enforcers of circular economy principles. Intelligent materials can tune their physical properties (electromagnetic, acoustic, mechanical and thermal) by receiving software commands. When incorporated within products and living spaces they can mitigate the resource waste caused by inefficient, partially optimized designs and security concerns. Thus, a circular economy and fast-paced product design become compatible. The study begins by surveying existing artificial materials, outlining their operating principles for controlling their macroscopic physical properties in in real time, demonstrably enabling the micromanagement of vibrations and heat. Then, the study presents the concept of a circular economy and analyzes current related research. Finally, the paper surveys promising synergies between artificial materials and a circular economy across multiple industrial sectors, highlighting considerable gain potentials in an ecological footprint.

“…In terms of agricultural operating income, digital economy development can improve agricultural production efficiency and increase farmers' income. Farmers can obtain factor information, screen useful information, and transmit information at a lower cost, which greatly reduces the degree of asymmetry of rural labor in seeking agricultural product market information, and significantly reduces the possibility of resource mismatch [26]. In addition, digital technology applied to the agricultural industry can not only reduce the cost of agricultural production, but also provide specialized guidance, making production decisions more scientific and efficient, and significantly increasing the efficiency of agricultural production [27].…”

Based on theoretical analysis, this study examines the relationship between the development of China’s digital economy and the urban–rural income gap by using an empirical model to test panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2019. The results of the study reveal that (1) there is a “U-shaped” relationship between the digital economy and the urban–rural income gap, with the gap narrowing in the early stages of development and widening in the medium-to-long term. (2) The development of the digital economy in peripheral regions will have an impact on the urban–rural income gap in the region through spatial spillover. (3) The heterogeneity tests reveal that the digital economy has a stronger impact on the urban–rural income gap in western China and a weaker impact in the east. (4) A double difference test using “Broadband Rural” construction as a policy shock variable reveals that the pilot project helped reduce the urban–rural income gap. This study deepens our understanding of the digital economy for integrated urban–rural development. It provides a theoretical basis and practical experience for enhancing the living standard of rural residents and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas.
