Abstract


Recent studies have highlighted the role of technologies in Industry 4.0 as facilitators of product service-system. About 7 years ago, research on circular economy and I4.0 began to receive more attention from researchers. As such, companies are encouraged to adopt a circular economy to enable advanced opportunities. Through this systematic review we try to understand the relationship between I4.0, product service-system and the circular economy using the 24 identified articles. This research support that the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies for product service-system facilitate the transition to circular economy through intelligent services. The results of this study aim to provide a clearer perspective and direction for researchers so that they can understand how these 3 concepts relate and how they influence the transition to a circular economy.
