The paper discussed both the benefits and limitations of the circular economy. Furthermore, we discuss that this concept is ambiguously defined.. A circular economy seems to be a satisfactory remedy for expanding environmental pollution and waste overproduction The benefits of the circular economy are believed to ever exist. Conversely, some premises to believe that rebound effects may offset such social benefits have merged in current literature to date by increasing overall consumption or “growing the pie”. We want to check if the circular economy positively contributes to the business model. Therefore, we applied the method of systematic literature review. This paper's value is important since it argues that we must integrate circularity across supply chains rather than limiting them to waste management. Moreover, indicators of the Circular Economy are not yet commonly agreed upon, and data are limited to waste. The paper recommends for further review of the circular concept.

W pracy omówiono korzyści i ograniczenia koncepcji gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, identyfikując wyzwania związane z dobrymi praktykami. Wskazano na niejednoznaczność pojęcia gospodarki cyrkularnej. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie koncepcji i ograniczeń gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, ocena czy korzyści z gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym zawsze istnieją oraz czy gospodarka obiegu zamkniętego wpływa pozytywnie na modele biznesowe. Do tej pory nie zaproponowano jednak jednoznacznej definicji takiej gospodarki, a istnieje wiele wąskich lub szerokich definicji. Ponadto nie wypracowano dotąd powszechnie uznawanych wskaźników GOZ. W niniejszej pracy jako metodę badawczą zastosowano systematyczny przegląd literatury. Okazało się, że występują również przesłanki do przekonania, że efekt odbicia może skutecznie zniwelować takie korzyści, poprzez zwiększenie ogólnej konsumpcji lub „zwiększenie tortu”. Podjęty temat zamykania obiegów materiałowych i minimalizacji ilości odpadów jest istotny ze społecznego punktu widzenia i rozwoju zrównoważonego. Jednocześnie artykuł zawiera implikacje badawcze odnośnie konieczności pogłębienia badań nad gospodarką o obiegu zamkniętym.
