Circular Economy and Plastic Waste Reduction: A Bibliometric Analysis
Summary
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of circular economy and plastic waste reduction literature using Scopus and Web of Science, mapping research themes, collaboration networks, and publication trends over time. The study identifies plastic recycling, extended producer responsibility, and bio-based materials as dominant and growing research domains.
This study performs a bibliometric analysis of the literature concerning circular economy and plastic waste management, delineating research trends, themes, and collaborative networks. The study utilizes data from Scopus and Web of Science to identify crucial themes, including plastic recycling, life cycle assessment, and environmental effect, underscoring the interdisciplinary essence of the area. The report underscores the increasing significance of circular economy techniques in mitigating plastic pollution, emphasizing new recycling technology and sustainable waste management practices. The United States, China, and the United Kingdom lead the area, however worldwide collaboration is apparent, with notable contributions from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The study finds deficiencies in research, especially with the practical implementation of circular economy techniques across various regional contexts. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners aiming to tackle plastic waste with sustainable solutions.
