The European Union robustly advocates the circular economy model as a foundation for sustainable business growth. However, the adoption rate by businesses remains tepid. Simultaneously, the Fourth Industrial Revolution underscores digitalization's potential for transformation. Many studies point to the role of digital tools in accelerating the circular economy. However, the nexus between digital technology and circular economy principles is a budding and rapidly evolving academic area. While ample research addresses digitalization and the circular economy independently, holistic studies merging the two are limited. This article aims to dissect the current trajectory and future directions of research that integrates both domains, offering deep insights for subsequent scholarly explorations. We employed a bibliometric approach, extracting literature chiefly from the Web of Science database and applying VOSviewer software for keyword association visualizations. Our analysis encompasses varied aspects, from publication trends to interdisciplinary intersections and practical implementations.
