The Problem of Ensuring the Efficiency of Circular Economic Systems in the North-West Region

Abstract

In response to the search for solutions to the problems of sustainable development of society, the formation of an environmental economy took place, one of the priorities of which is the transition to the concept of a circular model based on the principles of isolation. The circular economy is a universal way of sustainable development, which allows, on the basis of technical and technological progress and a continuous stream of innovations, to overcome not only economic and environmental problems, but also social stratification. The circular model ensures national economic efficiency by cycling, slowing down and narrowing resource and consumer flows. The transformation of flows is achieved through the formation of production-consumer ecosystems, collaborations and intersectoral integration, which shifts the minimum object unit towards the mesolevel. A single circular economic system (CES) involves the inclusion in its elemental composition of many weakly affiliated entities, which in the «as is» situation are focused on ensuring private commercial efficiency through the implementation of linear models. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of theoretical and methodological foundations for ensuring the effectiveness of circular economic systems at the mesolevel.

“…At present, the priority global concept is the sustainable development of modern society without prejudice to future generations (Kvasha and Malevskaya-Malevich 2022;Babkin et al 2021). The concept of sustainable development as one of the main components of the overall economic development strategy arose back in 1972 at the UN conference in Stockholm.…”
