“…The raw materials recovery sector has had a significant impact on the innovation (including eco-innovations) [61,62] and competitiveness of the national economy through the development and implementation of innovative technologies for waste management [63][64][65] and recovery of raw materials [66,67]. A growing level of processing of secondary raw materials with the use of more and more innovative processing technologies has been observed [68], which could contribute to the improvement of the level of innovation in the Polish economy [69], although the existing processing capacity of the infrastructure in this scope should be assessed as insufficient.…”

Mobilizing industry and transforming industrial sectors to a circular economy (CE) is one of the key areas of activities in the European Green Deal (EGD)—the newest strategy of economic growth in European Union (EU). In the CE, the raw materials that can be recovered from various waste streams play a key role, therefore, recommendations for their management were developed, both at the European and national level. In Poland, the raw material recovery sector is one of the strategic sectors (key industries) described in several documents determining the further directions of economic growth in the country. This paper presents the revision of these documents and guidelines for the implementation of the CE in the raw material recovery sector. The scope of the paper also includes a description of the current state of the raw materials recovery sector and its return, supported by the analysis of drivers and barriers in its further development. In previous years, a dynamic development of the recovery industry was observed, followed by formation of new companies (dominated by medium-sized companies comprising ~50% of entities in the sector) and increasing amount of people employed (~70,700 people). A growing level of processing of secondary raw materials with the use of more and more innovative technologies has been observed, which could contribute to the improvement of the level of innovation of the national economy. There also some barriers, such as the lack of sufficiently developed industrial symbiosis (IS) and long-term support for the implementation of recovery technologies. The growing ecological awareness of society and enterprises themselves, as well as the growing belief in the importance of resource recovery for environmental protection, suggest the possibility of subsequent development of the raw materials recovery sector. Further actions in this field will be taken to strengthen the implementation of the CE in the country.

“…Hence, these three factors determine a country's economic growth. J. Schumpeter complemented the factors of economic growth via the roles of entrepreneurship and innovation (Żelazny, 2017;Peretto, 2015, c.chu at al, 2017, He, 2018) and the american economist B. Seligman (2012) suggested that when studying economic growth, one should consider not only the basic factors, but also the political and regulatory institutions, as well as the psychological and social aspects. However, according to the author, it is almost impossible to embrace economic growth in these broader terms.…”

The trend of the last decade is to achieve sustainable development of society. The reasons of the development of this tendency are the global processes of industrial growth, the level of consumption of products, urbanization, and the development of globalization processes, the formation of the impact of non-profit organizations in the fight against environmental problems. The problems of environmental responsibility are urgent for many researchers, as they represent a way to solve complex environmental and economic problems facing the representatives of modern business, society and the state. The article deals with the analysis of the environmental component of social responsibility and its impact on the sustainable development of European countries. The article focuses on prioritizing sustainable development goals, namely Partnership for Sustainable Development. The factors that most influence on the environmental sustainability of European countries (Lithuania, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Ukraine) were analyzed. The correlation between GDP changes, populations and the level of environmental pollution has been proved. The definition of the concept of responsible consumption is considered and recommendations of reducing the level of influence of the agricultural sector on the environmental component were proposed. The necessity to increase environmental social responsibility in order to prevent a negative impact on the economy of European countries is substantiated.

“…Innovation research as well as innovation policies of developed, 'knowledge-based' societies are becoming more and more involved, e.g. going reasonably beyond Schumpeter's understanding of innovation as technical progress Meissner et al, 2017;Żelazny, 2017;Benešová et al, 2018;Appiah et al, 2018). In terms of direction and scope, it is possible to identify common patterns as well as country-specific aspects to this development, particularly with regard to the inclusion of 'social innovation' in innovation policy (Gokhberg et al, 2016;Mir-Babayev et al, 2017;Radwan, 2018;Oganisjana et al, 2018).…”
