“…They show that a circular economy approach to waste management will promote the retention of material value through waste recycling, better sharing of waste-related data, greater dialogue and cooperation between key players, and harmonization of regulations and their interpretations. Chen et al [ 47 ] examine the application of circular economy in the textiles industry. They were concerned about the rate at which textile waste end up in landfills.…”

The emergence of central bank digital currency (CBDC) provides an opportunity for central banks to make an important contribution to the transition to a circular economy. This paper examines the role of a central bank digital currency in the circular economy. Central banks can contribute to the transition to a circular economy in two ways: first, by making central bank digital currency accessible to circular businesses and other players in the circular economy sector, and second, by looking into how the design features of CBDC can support circular economy goals. On the role of CBDC in the circular economy, I argue that a central bank digital currency offers a better payment option for circular economy financial transactions; central bank digital currency can lead to greater financial inclusion for ‘unbanked’ informal workers in the circular economy; CBDC can create a gateway that allows a central bank to offer financial assistance to distressed circular businesses; using a central bank digital currency can reduce illicit activities in the circular economy; a central bank digital currency can be used to provide stimulus funding to support circular businesses during crises; and, a central bank digital currency can offer low transaction cost for circular economy financial transactions. The paper also shows the link between CBDC and the circular economy. It also offers a critical perspective on the link between CBDC and the circular economy.

“…Um produto têxtil pode ser derivado tanto de recursos naturais, como o algodão, quanto de recursos sintéticos, como o poliéster, obtido a partir de recursos fósseis, oriundos do petróleo. Nesse cenário, ambos os recursos geram impactos ambientais, em diferentes níveis [Chen et al 2021]. Por exemplo, a produção de algodão resulta em vasta exploração do solo para monoculturas, além de quantidades excessivas de água para seu cultivo.…”

Several environmental, economic and social challenges are currently being identified, requiring sustainable approaches that enable the preservation of the ecosystem and promote current and future well-being of society. Given this scenario, the circular economy proposal has been considered a potential resource to achieve such goals, generating changes in the production and consumption of products, from business models based on principles of ecodesign, reduction, recovery, reuse and recycling of products. However, it is identified that such business models must be supported by data-driven solutions and digital technologies, to be scalable, facilitate collaboration, and promote greater awareness. Therefore, this course has as main objective to show how big data and digital technologies, such as the internet of things, cloud computing and blockchain, play a key role in the transition to the circular economy, pointing out characteristics of these solutions and how they meet the needs of business models in the context of the circular economy, thus being able to contribute to the current sustainability challenges. ResumoDiversos desafios de cunho ambiental, econômico e social têm sido identificados atualmente, necessitando de abordagens sustentáveis que possibilitem a preservação do ecossistema e promovam o bem estar atual e futuro da sociedade. Diante desse cenário, a proposta de economia circular tem sido considerada um recurso potencial para se alcançar tais objetivos, gerando mudanças na produção e no consumo de produtos, a partir de modelos de negócios baseados em princípios de ecodesign, redução, recuperação, reuso e reciclagem de produtos. Entretanto, identifica-se que tais modelos de negócios devem ser apoiados por soluções orientadas a dados e tecnologias digitais para serem escaláveis,
