Subjects: Circular economy, Small business, Labor incentives, Organizational growth, Databases
Abstract (English): Objective: This study aimed to present a portrait of studies on Circular Economy (CE) in Small and Medium-sized Companies (SMEs) from 2011 to 2021, referring to articles published in Scopus database journals. Methodology: A systematic literature review (RSL) was developed, which collected a sample of 141 articles, which, after being evaluated, resulted in a total of 25 studies to be investigated, falling within the scope of this proposal. Findings: The connections between the subjects are growing, confirming that the implementation of CE aimed at SMEs has become a relevant issue that requires scientific deepening. There is a greater incidence of economic and political barriers, emphasizing the lack of financial resources combined with the lack of incentives for industries. Research limitations: The study is restricted to just one database of journals and a limited search period to survey the articles to be investigated. Originality/value: The research contributes by exploring the concept of CE, taking into account current discussions on the subject. It is important that the barriers that inhibit the application of CE are overcome, that a model is properly designed, and joint and strategic actions are implemented. The suggestion for future research involves the creation of a theoretical framework that articulates the identified elements and serves as a basis for SMEs, translating the transition as a path of sustainable organizational growth.

Abstract (Portuguese): Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar um retrato dos estudos sobre Economia Circular (EC) em Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PMEs), no período de 2011 a 2021, referente aos artigos publicados nos periódicos da base Scopus. Método: Desenvolveu-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura (RSL), a qual coletou uma amostra de 141 artigos, os quais após avaliados resultaram em um total de 25 estudos a serem investigados, estando dentro do escopo da presente proposta. Descobertas: As conexões entre os assuntos são crescentes, confirmando que a implementação da EC voltada as PMEs tornou-se uma pauta relevante e que necessita de aprofundamento científico. Há maior incidência de barreiras econômicas e políticas, enfatizando a falta de recursos financeiros aliada à falta de estímulos às indústrias. Limitações da pesquisa: O estudo restringe-se a apenas uma base de periódicos e limitação de período de busca para o levantamento dos artigos a serem investigados. Originalidade/Valor: A pesquisa contribui ao explorar o conceito de EC, tendo em vista as discussões atuais acerca do assunto. É importante que as barreiras que inibem a aplicação da EC sejam superadas, que um modelo seja devidamente elaborado e ações conjuntas e estratégicas sejam executadas. A sugestão de pesquisas futuras envolve a criação de um framework teórico que articule os elementos identificados e sirva de base para PMEs, traduzindo a transição como um caminho de crescimento organizacional sustentável.
