Abstract

The concept of the circular economy is currently experiencing a new discussion in the environmental sciences about its potential for transitioning the society towards sustainable development. However, financial, structural, technological, and sociological challenges hamper the comprehensive introduction of the concept. In this research-in-progress paper we explore the potential of information systems in the digital age for a circular economy. In a systematic literature analysis, we analyze existing information system research and categorize it based on existing circular economy principles. While research on ‘smart energy’, ‘smart mobility’, and ‘smart organization’ solutions has established a solid knowledge base, ‘smart consumption’ solutions – and, thus, many circular economy principles – are ignored by information system scholars.
