A Dynamic Circularity Information Management Roadmap for Small and Medium Enterprises

Abstract

Globally, sustainability concerns have been driving several green strategies towards new business models for industry circularity. While industrial greenality is broadly discussed in literature, still missing a clear roadmap tailored for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to translate circularity practices into tangible, value-driven datasets. This research work addresses this existing gap by proposing a circularity information management roadmap designed for SMEs. The framework aims to guide small enterprises throughout their journey on the implementation of circular business practices. The discussed framework intends to be used as a governance model to assess and increase an organization’s circular level. By providing a clear and common view on circular practices and its underlying artefacts, SMEs might design their circular projects more efficiently based on a clear understanding on the needs and means to increase their circularity business performance.
