Sustainability is one of the most critical issues today. Thus, the unsustainable consumption of resources, such as raw materials, CO emissions, and the needs to be changed. One framework for a more sustainable economy is the . Although the concept of the Circular Economy has been around since the 1990s, yet we are still far from enabling a Circular Economy. Therefore, a turnaround to the current linear economy as well as a change in society is necessary. In this paper, we get down to the essence of the status quo in the Circular Economy, identify the main barriers, such as lack of information, unsustainable economic models, ignorance, missing incentives, and propose software-driven solutions to tackle these challenges. Our solution extends the service description language by introducing the . The goal is to motivate end-users towards a more sustainable behavior without making massive restrictions on their lives.
可持续性是当今最为关键的问题之一。因此，需要改变诸如原材料、二氧化碳排放等资源的不可持续消费方式。一个更为可持续的经济框架是循环经济。尽管循环经济的概念自 20 世纪 90 年代以来就已存在，但我们仍远未实现循环经济。因此，有必要转向当前的线性经济，并改变社会。在本文中，我们深入研究了循环经济的现状，确定了主要障碍，如信息缺乏、不可持续的经济模式、无知、缺乏激励，并提出了软件驱动的解决方案来应对这些挑战。我们的解决方案通过引入 扩展了服务描述语言。其目标是激励最终用户采取更为可持续的行为，而不会对他们的生活造成巨大限制。
