Exploring Resilience through Blockchain and Circular Economy

Resilience has become a strategic capability for organisations facing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and socio-economic instability. The Circular Economy (CE) offers regenerative models to reduce waste and optimise resources, while Blockchain (BC) provides digital infrastructures that enhance transparency, traceability, and trust across supply chains. Despite their growing relevance, research on CE, BC, and resilience remains fragmented and under-integrated. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of 37 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025, mapping how CE and BC intersect to strengthen resilience. The review identified several recurring themes, highlighting how the convergence of CE principles and BC technology can bolster resilience across three crucial dimensions: 1) adaptive
