Resumo(s)
The transition to a circular economy presents an imperative need given the unsustainable consumption
patterns and growing environmental degradation. In response to this, this new system is being
presented as a sustainable solution, wherein materials are reused, recycled and regenerated to
optimize the use of resources. This work explores how digital product passports can empower citizens
to actively engage in environmentally responsible consumption. Despite the recognition of citizens as
essential drivers of circular economy efforts, their role in adopting sustainable technologies remains
underexplored. The findings expose motivational and behavioral factors that shape citizens' intention
to adopt digital product passports, bridging gaps in current knowledge about individual engagement
with technology. Through a structural equation modelling, data collected from an online survey was
analyzed in order to test several variables. This work contributes to the broader understanding of
sustainable innovation and its societal impacts, advancing circular economy strategies.
