Unlike the Linear Economy (LE), based on the exploitation of natural resources for the production of goods, the Circular Economy (CE) aims to eliminate waste, optimize resources and improve the design of products and processes. Pig farming is characterized by its polluting potential, and the problem is compounded by the fact that pork is the most consumed worldwide, making it essential to understand what has been done by agents to mitigate the impacts caused to the environment. Thus, the aim of this work was to identify which practices have been adopted by agents in swine and to what extent they are in line with what is recommended by CE. To this end, the technical procedure of integrative literature review was used to survey the information necessary to achieve the objective of the work, which had a qualitative and quantitative approach, characterized by a basic, exploratory research, and with a transversal cut. As a main result, 14 practices adopted by pig farming were identified in line with what is recommended by CE, showing that there is an evolution of this chain towards a transition from LE to CE.
