Abstract The rising demand for a sustainable industrial development has led to the implementation of digitalization and Circular Economy (CE) methods. This review examines the combination of Industry 4.0 technologies (i.e., Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics, cyber-physical systems, blockchain, additive manufacturing, and cloud computing) with CE principles to enhance the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) performance in industrial firms. This research explores the impact of digital technology on resource efficiency, waste reduction, closed-loop production, prolonging product life, and sustainable supply chain management. The results demonstrate that the synergistic integration of Industry 4.0 and CE provides a significant enhancement in environmental sustainability by reducing emissions and resource consumption, economic performance improvement by increasing operational efficiency and value recovery, and social sustainability improvement by improving workplace safety, transparency, and skill development. The assessment also points to important implementation challenges, including technological complexity, cybersecurity concerns, significant investment requirements, and gaps in labour capability. Finally, future research directions including empirical TBL assessment, digital product passports, human-centric industry 5.0 techniques and policy frameworks are outlined. The report provides an integrated framework for industries to achieve sustainable, resilient and competitive growth through digital-circular transformation.
