Solution

The option that is NOT a characteristic of a circular economy is "Compensating for all emissions and pollution through, for example, tree planting or cleaning up plastic waste from beaches." While these are important environmental actions, they are more characteristic of a linear economy trying to offset its negative impacts. A circular economy, on the other hand, is designed to minimize waste and pollution from the outset, and to keep products and materials in use for as long as possible.

In light of the increasing interest and recognition of the circular economy (CE) within business and research communities, it is becoming increasingly apparent that CE applications are undergoing significant evolution and exploring diverse potential alternatives. Scholars are dedicating more attention to sustainable development and sustainability as structured methodologies to elevate CE practices across a spectrum of industries. Delving deeper into the exploration of the fundamental components required for CE and sustainability applications and discerning the prevailing trends favoured by researchers and businesses within various CE sectors, it becomes imperative to assume a comprehensive and meticulous evaluation of the landscape and application assessments. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to provide an in-depth and comprehensive review of sustainability within the overarching framework of CE. Through a meticulous analysis of 112 documents published between 2022 and 2024, these documents have been meticulously examined and categorized based on robust and substantial evidence. The study endeavours to shed light on emerging trends, offering valuable insights and perspectives that can guide future research endeavours while also considering the multifaceted challenges researchers may encounter. write this text in 150 words
