“…The production and disposal of digital assets can contribute to carbon emissions and resource depletion. Therefore, promoting sustainable behaviours and encouraging users to make conscious choices when creating, purchasing, and disposing of virtual goods is crucial (Di Virgilio and Das, 2023b).…”

Metaverse is a virtual world that offers endless possibilities for entertainment, education, and social interaction. Whereas circular economy deals with the principle of reduce, reuse, and recycle which helps in waste elimination and boost continuous resource availability. However, there are challenges to promoting a circular economy in the metaverse. One of the challenges is ensuring that everyone has access to it, as there is still a digital divide. Additionally, it is challenging to track the lifecycle of virtual products and ensure they are properly recycled or reused. Finally, it is necessary to coordinate virtual and real-world initiatives to create a comprehensive circular economy system. Despite these challenges, many opportunities exist for promoting a circular economy in the metaverse. One opportunity is creating virtual marketplaces for second-hand goods. Another opportunity is using virtual reality to simulate the environmental impact of different products and production methods. Finally, researchers can develop virtual training and certification programs for sustainable practices in the metaverse. The challenges that need to be resolved to create a sustainable future for both the real and metaverse are discussed here. Overall, the implications of using the metaverse for the circular economy are promising but require careful consideration and collaboration between virtual and real-world efforts. Researchers can contribute to the development of a more equitable and sustainable future by understanding these concepts.

PurposeTeleworking, working from home and flexible work have gained popularity over the last few years. A shift in policies and practices in the workplace is required owing to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating current trends in work-from-everywhere (WFE) research. This article presents a systematic literature review of WFE research from 1990 to early 2023 to understand the transformation of the field.Design/methodology/approachThe Web of Science database was used to conduct this review based on rigorous bibliometric and network analysis techniques. The prominence of the research studied using SPAR-4-SLR and a collection of bibliometric techniques on selected journal articles, reviews and early access articles. Performance and keyword co-occurrence analysis form the premise of cluster analysis. The content analysis of recently published papers revealed the driving and restraining forces that help define and operationalize the concept of WFE.FindingsThe major findings indicate that the five established and accelerated trends from cluster analysis are COVID-19 and the pandemic, telework(ing), remote working, work from home and well-being and productivity. Driving and restraining forces identified through content analysis include technological breakthroughs, work–life integration challenges, inequality in the distribution of jobs, gender, shifts in industry and sector preferences, upskilling and reskilling and many more have been published post-COVID in the restraining forces category of WFE.Practical implicationsA key contribution of this pioneering study of “work from everywhere” is the linking of the bibliometric trends of the past three decades to the influencing and restraining factors during the pandemic. This study illustrates how WFE could be perceived differently post-COVID, which is of great concern to practitioners and future researchers.Originality/valueA wide range of publications on WFE and multiple synonyms can create confusion if a systematic and effective system does not classify and associate them. This study uses both bibliometric and scientometric analyses in the context of WFE using systematic literature review (SLR) methods.
