Abstract

 Linear economy and circular economy are two opposing concepts in today's world.The basic principles of linear economy rely on the uncontrolled flow of waste consumption and increasing production. In contrast, the circular economy is based on efficient design to eliminate waste with respect to the social, economic, environmental and conscious behaviors of resource consumption. The purpose of this review article is to investigate the
differences between the two types of economics, the factors affecting the implementation of circular economy and to present the SWOT circular and linear economics. In this review study conducted in 1399, articles indexed in Irandoc, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were used.23243 articles (from 14 different countries) were reviewed, which included qualitative and quantitative research from 2019.The results of these searches were refined in stages by studying the title, abstract and complete article. The results showed that the circular economy model, based on its unique infrastructure principles, offers benefits in solving economic, environmental and social challenges, creating sustainable development and more business survival .
