SUMMARY:
The sustainability literature points to a gap in empirical studies on the role of information technology (IT) in the value proposition within the circular economy. At the same time, it is identified a scarcity of research on how the systems approach helps the understanding of the characteristics of the circular economy, represented here by the triple bottom line. Based on this context and given the relevance of the topic, the objective of this paper is to investigate the role of information technology in the value proposition of business models inserted in the circular economy, under a systemic approach to sustainability. To this end, a descriptive research of a qualitative nature was conducted in two stages. The first was a bibliographic research for literature review that resulted in the development of a conceptual framework for understanding the circular economy under the tripod of sustainability. The second stage consisted of a documental research through the collection of 62 documents, including articles and business reports, from 21 startups inserted in the waste management and recycling sectors. Thematic analysis was the technique chosen to analyze the bibliographic and documentary data. As a result, we have a reconfigured framework, which evidenced, among other findings, that the sensing, monitoring, connectivity, and processing functions can increase the business model to innovate traditionally analog sectors, mainly through the technologies of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data. It was confirmed that IT favors a value proposition based on the efficient use or substitution of resources, which implies a positive environmental effect. Finally, it is pointed out that it is necessary to build interaction with partners and business stakeholders to support and disseminate the circular economy business value to the social sphere.
