Abstract

With global industrialization, industrial waste (IW) management has become an important issue for environmental protection and sustainable resource use. This article focuses on the field of industrial waste management and provides a comprehensive literature review of the Scopus database to identify relevant articles published between 2019 and 2023, using search terms related to industrial waste (IW) and circular economy (CE). The research results found that important policies and regulations such as the Environmental Protection Law and the Circular Economy Promotion Law have promoted this evolution, which is consistent with China's sustainable development goals. However, current industrial waste management still faces the problems of a lack of cross industry and cross regional perspectives, as well as insufficient exploration of micro mechanisms. Based on this review, a refined framework model for industrial waste management considering social attributes (IWMKAP) was proposed by analyzing the knowledge attitude practice (KAP) model practice, while maintaining consistency with the CE principles. It aims to explore industrial waste management from the perspective of companies and business practitioners, and support the implementation of a sustainable circular economy.
