It was a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional research; Data was collected from a convenience sample of manufacturing companies and the results were that circular economy practices are, for the most part, considered for implementation and dissimilar results were obtained in the correlation between the number of employees and economy indicators. circular: adopting a life cycle management approach, designing products that can be updated, repaired, refurbished or remanufactured and recycling production waste and reusing it as an input.
