Main Article Content
Abstract
The circular economy is a strategy that promotes the maximization of the use of resources and the minimization of waste, which contributes to environmental sustainability and the achievement of development goals. This article analyzes the potential of the circular economy in the administration of companies in Latin America, through the bibliographic review and the analysis of case studies. Barriers and opportunities for the implementation of the circular economy in the region are identified, and recommendations are proposed to encourage their adoption.
