Abstract

Digital technologies have the potential to impact sustainability and circular economy (CE) initiatives. Blockchain, in particular, has gained attention for its potential to enable sustainable and circular practices. However, the high energy consumption associated with the technology also raises environmental concerns, necessitating careful design considerations. This study aims to identify the requirements for designing a blockchain multi-sided platform (MSP) for sustainability and CE. Through a systematic literature review, we derived six meta-requirements that focus on sustainability and circular economy practices. The findings contribute to the literature on blockchain technology by providing a structured understanding of how blockchain can align with sustainability and circular principles, providing an initial pathway for designing sustainable information systems. The research is also valuable for organizations seeking to leverage digital technologies for their sustainability goals, offering guidance on incorporating blockchain to minimize environmental impact and maximize sustainability benefits.
