This study maps the association between Industry 4.0 (I-4.0)
                                                            technologies  and  Circular  Economy  (CE)  for  sustainable

                                                            that were published between January 2010 and December 2020.
                                                            The authors synthesised the  existing literature using Scopus
                                                            database to investigate I-4.0 technologies and CE to select SDGs.
                                                            The findings of the study bridge the gap in the literature at the
                                                            intersection between I-4.0 and sustainable operations in line with
