This study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate the transition toward a circular economy by optimizing resource use, enhancing supply chain transparency, and promoting innovative, sustainable business models. Through concrete applications such as intelligent waste sorting and reverse logistics, AI contributes to reducing losses, improving traceability, and supporting innovative circular practices. A survey conducted with 65 Tunisian SMEs confirms that, when adoption is supported by organizational and institutional factors, AI improves environmental performance and helps achieve sustainable development goals.
