The article analyzes prospects for implementing mechanisms of closed-loop economy (circular economy) at local level based on strengthening material and financial base of communities, expanding their managerial powers due to decentralization. Relevant changes in the approaches to form communities’ socio-economic sphere aimed at gradual transition to circular economy have been pointed out, as well as main priorities in the framework of such transition are identified and characterized. Main directions and measures are suggested, which are aimed at achieving resource efficiency, waste processing, using secondary raw material and minimizing environmental damage in the framework of social and economic activities. Methodological principles for the study were methods of system analysis (to analyze circular economy as holistic system of interconnected elements with specific functions), generalization (to outline main directions and applied propositions for implementing circular economy at the level), comparison (to compare linear and circular models of economy).

Producer Responsibility

Introduction. The research of theoretical principles of extended producer responsibility realization needs the identification of potential models of waste collection and disposal for Ukraine. Risks, threats and challenges of improving waste management efficiency provide significant business opportunities. As a result, the circular system allows efficient movement of materials, energy, labor and information for the purpose of restoring natural and social capital. Therefore, the circular economy is part of an effort to increase economic development, overcome wasteful consumption, and reduces undemocratic power structures in the global economy. Purpose. The objective of this paper is to analyze the theoretical bases of the implementation of extended producer responsibility and to research applied aspects of the concept of development the circular economy. Methods. In the research process, a set of research methods and approaches were used: monographic and graphical methods, methods of system analysis, systematization, classification, logical, theoretical and generalizations. Results. Strategic decisions of the circular economy are based on the operational determination of the process: “raw material-production-utilization-remaking” as a whole. It is necessary to prove to the companies in Ukraine their ability to protect the environment from the use of the extended producer responsibility strategy. Industrial waste funds need to be created for businesses that do not have environmentally friendly recycling technologies. Local Government should separate waste collection, sorting and recycling. Conclusions.It is advisable to research the concept of circular economy development and extended producer responsibility on the basis of national and foreign experience on circularity of economy, its concepts and variations. Bad reputations influence the stock quotes of corporations on international exchanges and economically justify the potential consequences of the colossal losses of the company. Corporate responsibility in European companies comes as a result of severe penalties for failing to comply with environmental standards.

Transformation toward a circular economy (CE) model is one of the main priorities of the European Commission (EC). In the previous years, most of the European countries prepared national documents presenting their possibilities and plans for implementing CE in the country. In Poland, in 2019, the CE roadmap was approved by the government. Bioeconomy was indicated in this document as one of the key areas of CE implementation in Poland. This paper presents a detailed review of the actions needed for the transformation toward the CE model in Poland, and the units responsible for their implementation in the bioeconomy sector. The most important actions include creating conditions for the development of bioeconomy and building local value chains and a raw material base. Moreover, actions in the energy sector and transformation of industry is also indicated. Poland places great emphasis on strengthening cooperation between industry and the science sector, which should contribute to the implementation of innovative solutions in the whole economy, including bioeconomy. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate all activities taken by various stakeholders and the government at the central, regional and local level. A great opportunity to further development of bioeconomy in Poland is large resources of biomass in country. An increase in the biomass usage can positively accelerate the transformation process towards CE. Further efforts are required and planned in this area, based on the directions indicated in the Polish CE roadmap.

The article is devoted to the current topic of today – the introduction of the concept of circular economy in the economy of united territorial communities, in the framework of sustainable development, which involves a gradual transition from a linear model of economy to a closed cycle economy. The article reveals the general concept of circular economy, gives a historical digression into its origin. In addition, the article reviews the research of scientists from different countries on the subject of circular economy. The article also presents a review of business models of the circular economy in leading European countries, which could be useful for use at the local level in Ukraine, provides some comments on their application. Taking into account the best European practices, recommendations are given to Ukraine on the transition from a traditional (linear) economy to a circular economy. It is concluded that taking into account the ideas of the circular economy in shaping the development of communities is not only a modern trend, but also a very important impetus to ensure their competitive advantage in the long run. Further implementation of innovative business models can ensure that technical and biological materials continue to play an active role in the community economy and those important natural resources are preserved. There are still many issues that need detailed research and practical implementation at both the state and local levels of public administration and at the business level. Therefore, the path to an eco-future remains relevant and open in terms of Ukraine’s development. The state already has the first steps and a plan until 2030 on how to reduce the level of garbage, raise the level of awareness of citizens and businesses in terms of the transition to a circular economy. The transition to a circular economy, in particular through the use of renewable energy, will reduce the negative impact on the environment and ensure the balance of environmental, economic and social components of sustainable development. This article is an overview, it will help to be acquainted with the concept of circular economy and see the real situation in terms of Ukraine’s development.

Introduction. The scale of the risks, threats, and consequently the challenges of reducing and improving the efficiency of waste management, provides significant business opportunities. The circular system enables efficient movement of materials, energy, labor and information for the purpose of restoring natural and social capital. The circular economy should be part of efforts to boost economic development, overcome wasteful consumption and reduce undemocratic power structures in the global economy. Hence, the topic is relevant and needs appropriate research. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to research the biophysical environment of the circular system, the level of integration of resources and the regeneration of the biosystem in the concept of development of the circular economy. Methods. Research methods of problems related to the concept of circular economy development are based on general and specific methods of studying economic processes, phenomena and facts concerning the integration of resources and regeneration of the biosystem. This research uses monographic and graphical methods, methods of system analysis, systematization, classification, logical, theoretical and generalizations (in research the integration of resources and regeneration of the biosystem in the concept of development of circular economy). Results. The world economy meets the demand of the population in all continents at affordable prices, which gives consumers a much higher level of material comfort. The manufacturing industry transforms resources into an extremely large number of products and uses natural resources to produce waste products at the first need. It is relevant to break the product life cycle chain: “raw material-product-dust” and to change the linear economy. The basis for a new system – alternative to linear economy can be system that base on three principles: design waste and pollution; save products and materials in use; regeneration of the natural system. The circular economy is a systematic approach to economic development that can benefit business, society and the environment. The authors believe that, unlike the linear “raw material-product-dust” model, the circular economy model is regenerative in design and aims to gradually reduce the growth effect of the consumption of scarce resources. Accordingly, the circular approach provides systematic changes of everyone and everything: enterprises, governments and individuals; cities, products and jobs. Discussion. Further scientific researches of circular economy concept development, integration of resources, biosystem regeneration, evaluation of circular business models should be based on the current national and foreign methodology and organization of evaluation of the circularity of economy, its concepts and variations. Further studies should widely apply methods of operational and strategic forecasting and modelling of the enterprise waste management system, etc.

Abstract: A series of imperial decrees of the 1820s ordering the establishment of a Greco-Uniate Theological Collegium and appropriate consistories contributed to the spread of the autocratic synodal system of government and the establishment of control over Greek Uniate church institutions in the annexed territories of Right-Bank Ukraine. As a result, the Greco-Uniate Church was put on hold in favor of the government's favorable grounds for the rapid localization of its activities. Basilian accusations of supporting the Polish November Uprising of 1830-1831 made it possible to liquidate the OSBM and most monasteries. The transfer of the Pochaiv Monastery to the ownership of the Orthodox clergy in 1831 was a milestone in the liquidation of the Greco-Uniate Church and the establishment of a Russian-style Orthodox mono-confessionalism. On the basis of archival documents, the political motivation of the emperor's decree to confiscate the Pochayiv Monastery from the Basilians with all its property and capital was confirmed. The transfer to the category of monasteries of the 1st class and the granting of the status of a lavra indicated its special role in strengthening the position of the autocracy in the western region of the Russian Empire. The orders of the Holy Synod outline the key tasks of ensuring the viability of the Lavra as an Orthodox religious center: the introduction of continuous worship, strengthening the personal composition of the population, delimitation of spiritual responsibilities, clarifying the affiliation of the printing house. However, maintaining the rhythm of worship and financial and economic activities established by the Basilians proved to be a difficult task, the solution of which required ten years of hard work. In order to make quick changes in the monastery, decisions were made by the emperor and senior government officials, and government agencies were involved at the local level, which required the coordination of actions of all parties to the process.

Subject. We investigate trends in the development of the largest steel companies in the Russian Federation. Objectives. The aim of the study is to conduct an industry-wide analysis of the production and economic activities of the largest domestic enterprises operating in the iron and steel industry. Methods. The study employs methods of comparative and system analysis, graphical and statistical methods for data processing. Results. We present the analysis of main production and economic indicators of the leading steel producers of the Russian Federation, i.e. NLMK, Severstal, MMK, and EVRAZ. The paper reveals their current status and key development trends. Conclusions. The largest Russian steel companies face serious challenges in both the domestic and foreign market. Competitive interactions in the domestic market as to the sale price of rolled metal and the share of presence are particularly sensitive. The threat of reduced supplies to export markets is also significant for Russian steel producers. It may entail insufficient utilization of capacities and potential loss of added value. The companies mainly export semi–finished goods and hot-rolled flat products, i.e. low-added value products. Products with high added value are usually delivered to the domestic market.

The article examines the relationship between attracting foreign capital in the form of foreign direct investment and ensuring economic development. In particular, the analysis of the current structure of the economy is indicated, its raw material character is pointed out and, based on other researches, the necessity of its reform is substantiated, as Ukraine will remain a low-income country if the current trend continues. This is due to the fact that countries with a raw material structure of the economy are characterized by a low level of economic complexity, and therefore are not able to generate high levels of income in society. As a result, the expediency of stimulating the attraction of investment resources into the country’s economy, in particular in the form of foreign direct investment, is substantiated. The dynamics of attracting foreign direct investment to Ukraine and a number of other countries for the period from 1991 to 2019 is analyzed and the key negative factors that deter foreign investors from investing in the economy of Ukraine are indicated. As a result of the analysis, divergent trends in the economic development of Ukraine and other analyzed countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania, Hungary) were identified, which contributed to economic stagnation and restrained economic growth and development. Taking into account the analysis, as well as based on the concept of investment and innovation growth, it is proposed to use the experience of Israel to improve the country’s investment attractiveness and stimulate foreign capital inflows by adapting the Yozma program to Ukrainian realities. According to our estimates, the adaptation of this program to the Ukrainian economy will attract about $ 350 million over a five-year period of venture capital alone. In addition, programs such as YOSMA can also be implemented at the regional or even local level. We believe that the use of this tool will improve the investment attractiveness of the country, as well as provide sufficient financial resources to modernize the domestic economy and ensure rapid economic growth.

AbstractThe transition to a circular economy is a complex process requiring wide multi-level and multi-stakeholder engagement and can be facilitated by appropriate policy interventions. Taking stock of the importance of a well-balanced policy mix that includes a variety of complementing policy instruments, the circular economy action plan of the European Union (COM(2020) 98 final) includes a section about “getting the economics right” in which it encourages the application of economic instruments. This contribution presents a comprehensive taxation framework, applied across the life cycle of products. The framework includes (1) a raw material resource tax, (2) reuse/repair tax relief, and (3) a waste hierarchy tax at the end of life of products. The research is based on a mixed method approach, using different sources to analyse the different measures in the framework. More mature concepts, such as material resource taxes, are analysed by reviewing the existing literature. The analysis of tax relief on repairs is based on interviews with stakeholders in Sweden, where this economic policy instrument has been implemented since 2017. Finally, for the waste hierarchy tax, which is a novel proposition in this contribution, macroeconomic modelling is used to analyse potential impacts of future implementation. In all cases, several implementation challenges are identified, and potential solutions are discussed according to literature and empirical sources. Further research is required both at the individual instrument and at the framework level. Each of the tax proposals needs a more detailed examination for its specificities of implementation, following the results of this study.
