“…Similarities and differences are identified by comparing our results with other studies in the literature. Our findings agree with the study of Kumar, et al [58], in that raising awareness among stakeholders is important, and that cooperation should be encouraged. However, in contrast to their suggestion about raising the awareness of technology implementation in the Indian agriculture supply chain, our finding shows that in a welldigitalized water management system, raising the awareness of environmental issues and CE concepts is more important than technology.…”

“…For example, in our case, the local government still focuses on solving the output problem, such as pollution and wastewater treatment. The same problems are found in some areas in other countries, such as Indian, Belgian, and Dutch [1,58]. Another global topic is the decentralized system implementation for sustainable development, such as cases in India, Indonesia, and Finland [84][85][86].…”

“…The most important ones were the lack of automation system virtualization, the unclear economic benefit of digital investment, lack of process design, unstable connectivity among firms, and employment disruptions. As for the implementation of Industry 4.0 and CE in the agriculture supply chain in India, Kumar, et al [58] determined 11 barriers through an integrated interpretive structural modelling-analytic network process approach, among which the lack of government support and encouragements, the lack of policies and protocols, and the lack of awareness were the most significant ones.…”

“…In our case, both workforce and project leaders require more knowledge of CE and digitalization (B11, B13). Workforces need specific training for resource recovery processes and for using advanced DT [58]. Leaders not only need to learn about the technologies, but also require successful experience in order to design and manage the implementation program (B12).…”

“…The education system and companies should cooperate in training high-skilled workers to fulfil the tasks both in CE and digitalization practices [57]. Organizations with successful implementation experiences should be encouraged to share their knowledge to support other projects that lack experienced leaders [58]. For these purposes, big data, IoT, VR/AR can assist information exchange and training in the virtual space.…”

“Clean water and sanitation” is listed as one of the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and implementing circular economy principles in the water sector has been widely regarded as an important approach in achieving this goal. In the era of Industry 4.0, research and practice in the digitalisation of the water sector to create a smart water system have attracted increasing attention. Despite the growing interest, limited research has been devoted to how digital technologies might enhance circularity. In practice, smart water systems often fail to promote circularity in such aspects as water reuse and resources recovery. This paper aims to identify the main barriers to implementing circularity in the smart water management system in Zhejiang, China. The research adopts a mixed research method that includes a literature review to identify the potential barriers from the existing studies, a case study to determine the most critical barriers in practice, and a fuzzy Delphi method to reach a consensus on the crucial barriers. The research identified 22 main barriers to implementing circular economy in smart water management. The barriers are divided into three categories: infrastructure and economic, technology, and institution and governance. The results show that the barriers related to recycling technologies, digital technology know-how, and the lack of CE awareness raise the most concern. Our findings also indicate that experts are interested in the decentralized wastewater treatment system. This research provides significant insights that practitioners, researchers, and policymakers can use in developing and implementing digital-based CE strategies to reduce water scarcity and pollution.

Modern agri‐food supply chains are gradually becoming complex due to perishability, seasonality, frequent disruption, fluctuating consumer requirements and environmental concerns. Implementing multiple practices may help to address this complexity and develop a robust agri‐food supply chain that enables a competitive edge for the organisation. This paper discusses the possibility of integrating various supply chain practices through Industry 4.0 in the agri‐food supply chain. In addition, getting insights from bibliometric and systematic reviews. The study tried to search for various possible keywords to import the data on multiple research platforms such as Web of Science, Science Direct and Scopus. All the collected data were merged into a single file, removing duplicates and verifying the papers based on the abstract and title for relevancy. Finally, the study concluded the systematic review of 97 research articles. By analyzing the content of all the articles and reviewing articles through a bibliometric package of ‘R’. The paper's finding suggests that integrating all these practices mentioned in the article gives a collaborative output of a sustainable, efficient, flexible and resilient supply chain that leverages Industry 4.0 technology to market dynamics while maximizing sustainable impact. The researcher and practitioner advised a wise implementation of all the supply chain practices mentioned in this article and suggested understanding their benefit to the organisation. This study also presented a future research direction focusing on the practical application of Industry 4.0 and collaborative supply chain practices.
