Circular economy: opportunities and barriers
Background. The constant growth of the population and the increase in demand for resources in conditions of a lack of food, raw materials, and habitat reflect the urgent need to study both Russian and foreign experience in order to find solutions to these problems. Environmental pollution, persis...

Background. The constant growth of the population and the increase in demand
for resources in conditions of a lack of food, raw materials, and habitat reflect the urgent
need to study both Russian and foreign experience in order to find solutions to these problems.
Environmental pollution, persistence of upward trends in emissions of carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases that lead to climate change, exacerbate the previously noted
problems. The purpose of the work is to study and analyze the possibilities that the concept
of a circular economy provides for eliminating the negative consequences of the above
problems, as well as identifying barriers that arise due to the process of introducing a circular
model of economic development. Materials and methods. The study analyzed existing
Russian and foreign publications on this issue, as well as data from agencies and companies.
To achieve the set goal of this study, general scientific methods of cognition, a systemic
and integrated approach, methods of logical, comparative and statistical analysis were
used. Results. The main features and aspects of the circular economy concept, which replaces
the usual linear economic development model, are considered and analyzed. The effects
that this approach can have on the functioning of organizations and society as a whole
are studied, as well as the associated opportunities in the field of economics, ecology and
society. Barriers to achieving a more effective interaction between social, technological
(environmental) and production (economic) aspects of introducing a circular economy
in modern conditions are identified. Relevant proposals for overcoming barriers to a circular
economy based on the principles of resource efficiency and zero waste are presented.
Conclusions. A detailed consideration of this approach to the organization of economic
activity indicates the advisability of introducing the principles of a circular model of economic
development. The circular economy can transform the production model of the
economy, foster economic growth, reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions, and provide
consumers with more durable and innovative products. At the moment, there are significant
economic, financial, institutional and technological barriers to the implementation
of this concept of sustainable development. A number of proposals are given to overcome
these problems, among which one can highlight the development of a sustainable approach,
the introduction of digital technologies, scientific understanding of this issue and the need
for state support. |
