Estudo exploratório das conexões entre tecnologia verde e economia circular

Os crescentes desafios ambientais têm promovido a procura por soluções que integrem os conceitos de tecnologia verde e economia circular. Enquanto conceito emergente, a tecnologia verde tem vindo a desempenhar um papel de destaque na adoção de práticas mais amigas do ambiente. Contudo, a sua implementação enfrenta desafios complexos, que refletem a necessidade de incentivos financeiros, consciencialização dos consumidores, desenvolvimento tecnológico e investimento. A adoção de tecnologia verde pode, assim, ser vista como um elemento facilitador da transição para a economia circular, contribuindo para o cumprimento de objetivos sustentáveis.

Este estudo apresenta uma revisão bibliométrica da literatura científica, complementada por uma análise crítica dos cinco artigos mais citados da amostra. Os resultados obtidos mostram um crescimento significativo do interesse académico nestes conceitos, especialmente na área de Business, Management and Accounting. A análise das palavras-chave e das redes de coocorrência confirmou a forte conexão temática entre tecnologia verde, economia circular e sustentabilidade.

No entanto, nenhum dos artigos mais citados aborda explicitamente o conceito de economia circular. Esta constatação valida a pertinência do presente estudo e evidencia a necessidade de abordagens mais integradas e interdisciplinares em futuras investigações.
