Abstract
Abstract This study conducts a detailed bibliometric analysis of the research landscape on circular economy and sustainable manufacturing. Using data from the Scopus database, 9,946 publications on “Circular Economy” and 212 publications on both “Circular Economy” and “Sustainable Manufacturing” were identified. The analysis with VOSviewer spanned publication trends from 2006 to July 2024. Key platforms for publication included Sustainability Switzerland, known for its multidisciplinary approach to sustainability challenges, and Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering and Procedia CIRP, which were prominent for their contributions to sustainable manufacturing and engineering innovations. These platforms played a pivotal role in disseminating cutting-edge research at the intersection of sustainability and engineering. The study highlighted top-cited works and leading contributors, mainly from India, Italy, and the United Kingdom. A co-occurrence analysis of author keywords identified seven thematic clusters: Sustainable Manufacturing Practices, Sustainable Economic and Environmental Practices, Green and Efficient Manufacturing Processes, Sustainable Manufacturing and Environmental Decision-Making, Industrial Ecology and Sustainable Development, Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies, and Closed-Loop Manufacturing and Product Design. These findings offered critical insights into emerging research trends and served as a foundational reference for future research and policy-making aimed at promoting sustainability in manufacturing.
