Abstract

The short article suggests that waste, in its many forms, should be considered a resource and that the economy of waste, supported by digital technologies, could represent a significant opportunity for sustainable and circular growth. Wasting waste is increasingly an unethical and uneconomic choice.

Keywords: circular economy, digital innovation, waste economy
