摘要

This study presents a broad bibliometric overview of how circular economy (CE) thinking and sustainable consumption (SC) research intersect and develop over time. Following the B-SLR protocols, we gathered 1,947 peer-reviewed, English-language articles published between 2006 and 2024 in the Web of Science Core Collection and analysed them with VOSviewer. Co-citation, bibliographic coupling and keyword co-occurrence networks show a sharp rise in publication output after 2016, with Sustainability and the Journal of Cleaner Production publishing the most work. Europe and China produce the highest volume of studies, while England’s papers attract the greatest citation impact. Seven thematic clusters emerge: (1) waste valorisation technologies and life cycle assessment, (2) macro-level carbon-neutral and urban metabolism strategies, (3) consumer psychology and pro-environmental behaviour, (4) circular business models, Industry 4.0 and closed-loop supply chains, (5) governance, sharing economy, and sustainability transitions, (6) e-waste management and extended producer responsibility, and (7) bio-based materials, plastics, and the circular bioeconomy. Temporal overlay mapping indicates a shift from foundational waste management topics to digitally enabled and socially focused innovations. By viewing the literature through both CE and SC lenses, the review clarifies conceptual boundaries, calls attention to under researched social issues and Global South contexts, and links future research priorities with SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). These findings provide scholars, practitioners, and policymakers with an evidence-based agenda for advancing a fair, resource-efficient transition.
