Abstract

The circular economy is currently being regarded as a solution to an environmental crisis that is as severe as the epidemic, but is less apparent to the general public. For anyone interested in learning more about the circular economy and its application areas, there is a wealth of knowledge available in both specialist and secondary information sources. The purpose of our investigation is to identify the most important characteristics of the circular economy as they are presented to the public in different parts of the globe. We decided on the infographic analysis as a solution for this. They communicate their message in a succinct manner, yet they have a significant influence on the audience. Do these communications have an impact on how people perceive the domain? This is the question that our investigation seeks to address. We conducted a study of the literature in order to provide clarity. This demonstrated to us the fundamental qualities of the circular economy, as well as the specificities of the application sector in question. In order to examine the literature, we make use of VOSviewer. This is a software program that allows you to create and examine bibliometric networks. Our research team has used it to create networks of cooccurrence pricing of relevant phrases that were pulled out of a corpus of scientific literature using the text extraction feature of the software. Our results enabled us to draw attention to the unique characteristics of the circular economy, as well as the message that each country and region of application sends to its target audience. The findings of research may also be utilized to develop compelling messages that can be delivered in various regions of the globe.
