Abstract
The global shift toward sustainability has accelerated the demand for innovative solutions that support the circular economy, where resources are continuously reused, recycled, and repurposed to minimize waste. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative enabler of this paradigm, offering advanced tools for optimizing recycling processes, reducing resource inefficiencies, and driving sustainable growth. This article explores the role of AI-driven circular economy models, focusing on how intelligent software systems enhance material tracking, automate waste sorting, and predict lifecycle outcomes across industrial value chains. Leveraging machine learning, computer vision, and predictive analytics, AI enables real-time decision-making for resource recovery, dynamic supply chain optimization, and scalable recycling operations. Market evidence demonstrates the impact of AI in reducing landfill waste, improving recycling rates, and cutting operational costs, with enterprises across manufacturing, consumer goods, and energy sectors already adopting these systems to meet both environmental and regulatory goals. Furthermore, the study examines ethical and implementation challenges, including data integration, interoperability, and the need for transparent algorithms to ensure equitable outcomes. Ultimately, the article highlights AI’s potential to serve as the digital backbone of a circular economy, providing enterprises with measurable benefits in resource efficiency, sustainability compliance, and long-term profitability.
