This chapter sets conceptual backgrounds regarding the potentially emerging causal links between digital technologies and circular economy ideas implementation. We argue that digital technologies may constitute an effective element enabling the transformation from linear to circular and environmentally friendly economic activities. This work draws the general picture at the macro and micro level. The macro perspective shows how individual actions aggregate into global ones that can be demonstrated through, for instance, waste management, resource productivity or, inter alia, statistics. Regarding the micro level, we intended to show how current business models are transforming into circular business models and how companies adopt and use digital technologies to tackle the idea of circular economy and implement it. Lastly, we draw several policy implications.
