“…Stahel emphasizes the economic and environmental benefits, including a potential reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions and a workforce growth. Moreover, global trends confirm that the CE is a proven way of creating new jobs and boosting economic growth not only in EU but also other countries around the world (Boshkov and Djidrov, 2021). Recently, the CE has drawn attention all over the world as a method to cope with the present model of production and consumption (Hamam et al, 2021).…”

Nowadays, people take materials from the earth, generate products from them, and in the end throw them away as waste -this is called a linear economy. However, a circular economy (CE) keeps products, materials, and components in use at their highest value. This study aims to provide an insight on the concept of CE in the context of a food system, focusing on the EU in particular. This is because changing food systems is one of the most effective ways to address climate change, rebuild biodiversity, etc. Currently, Europe is a founder when it comes to CE policy development, as seen in it activating the CE action plan in 2020. The EU's transition to a CE aims to reduce pressure on natural resources and create sustainable growth and jobs. While the food value chain accounts for significant resources and environmental pressures, roughly 20% of the total food produced is lost or wasted in the EU (European Commission, 2020). Therefore, along with a data review of CE thematic areas and indicators, the main contribution of this study is to analyze and understand insights concerning the environmental impacts of current agri-food economic systems and potential solutions in the food system stages based on the relationship of food and the CE in order to recommend policy recommendations.

“…Today, the circular economy is increasingly becoming a unique concept for changing growth patterns and achieving a balance between the resources, environment, and the economy. Global trends confirm that the circular economy is a proven way of creating new jobs and increasing economic growth in countries around the world (Boshkov, Djidrov, 2021). Therefore, the circular economy leads to greater resource efficiency and economic development in the long run by using the principles of gaining competitive strategic advantage of companies and improving the economic aspects of their operations.…”

The circular economy is the antithesis of the current linear model of an economy based on uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources and flow of materials (factory -user -landfill). The principle of the linear economy has a take-do-throw base, while the circular economy has a wider take-do-fix-reuse-recycle base. There is a great need for a circular economy in the world, with recycling being considered the leading instrument of this model of economy. Therefore, the aim of our work is to show that the circular economy is imperative for sustainable development in North Macedonia and Serbia. The paper is conceived in three parts. The first part is based on the analysis of the advantages of circular economy in the countries of the European Union. The second part presents the circular economy as a chance for sustainable development of the Republic of North Macedonia, while the third part is based on the circular economy as a required condition for sustainable development of the Republic of Serbia. The methodology used in this paper is based on qualitative research techniques, i.e. analysis, comparative analysis, and synthesis. The authors conclude that it is necessary to urgently establish the circular economy model and create an appropriate legal framework in these countries, following the example of leading European countries.
