Abstract The increasing recognition of the limitations inherent in the traditional linear economic model [1] has spurred interest in the Circular Economy (CE) as a transformative framework for sustainable manufacturing practices [2]. This literature review systematically explores the integration of CE principles, focusing on strategies such as reuse, remanufacturing and recycling, which aim to minimise waste and optimise resource utilisation throughout product lifecycles. A thorough examination of eco-design methodologies highlights the importance of product longevity, reparability and material recovery, while advanced technologies—including digitalisation, Internet of Things (IoT) applications and material recovery systems—are identified as critical enablers of circularity in manufacturing processes. We also address consumer-centric design as a vital aspect of CE integration, emphasising the role of user engagement and education in fostering sustainable behaviours and product acceptance. Furthermore, the analysis includes financial mechanisms and investment strategies essential for supporting the transition to circular practices, alongside performance metrics and circularity indicators for assessing effectiveness. The role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in circular manufacturing, along with the challenges and barriers to implementation, is critically evaluated. Finally, the review identifies future prospects and opportunities within the CE landscape, underscoring the need for collaborative efforts among stakeholders to advance sustainable manufacturing. This comprehensive examination provides valuable insights into the potential of CE principles to revolutionise manufacturing practices and contribute to long-term sustainability goals.
