Economía circular digital: Aprovechamiento de tecnologías accesibles para impulsar la sostenibilidad en MiPyMEs y emprendimientos locales

This study assesses how accessible digital technologies (mobile apps, free software, collaborative platforms) facilitate circular economy adoption in Latin American SMEs. Through systematic documentary review, circular models (recommerce, waste valorization, repair) enhanced by mobile apps, open-source software, and collaborative platforms are analyzed. Results identify benefits such as cost reduction (15-25%) and new revenue streams, though challenges like digital divide and financing access persist. Successful cases demonstrate implementation viability with modest investments. It concludes that Digital Circular Economy represents a promising path for SME sustainability and competitiveness, requiring an ecosystem approach combining technology, training, and policies adapted to regional context to overcome barriers and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
