Digital transformation makes an increasingly significant contribution to the circular economic development in Vietnam. Based on the theoretical basis of the circular economy, the combination of circular economic development and digital transformation can bring significant opportunities and benefits. Vietnam has been implementing digital solid transformation, creating a favorable environment to promote circular economic models to be founded and developed. However, there are still several challenges to be resolved to optimize the impact of digital transformation on circular economic development. Based on an analysis of the role of digital transformation in circular economy development, the article proposes some solutions to promote the application of digital transformation in the process of completing and developing the circular economy in Vietnam soon.
