- Abstract
The circular economy has become a hot issue to discuss in recent years with the improvement related to the environment. In this context, this article aims to develop mapping literature on the readiness to analyse SMEs in developing countries implementing a circular economy. According to the systematic database approach adopted and based on a rigorous process, 58 articles were selected for ScienceDirect. Based on a content analysis methodology, this report offers a bibliometric examination of this field and of the growing interest among academics in the adoption of circular economies by SMEs in poor nations. Cluster 1 shows the relationship between innovation, economy, business model, and resource efficiency; Meanwhile, cluster 2 oversees industry 4.0 in implementing a circular economy for SMEs in developing countries. The review also highlights the gaps in the literature that are indicative of future opportunities for environmental research, whether it be quantitative, qualitative, action-oriented, or hybrid.
