The complication of the environmental situation in the world makes mankind look for new economic models in which sustainable development is provided. With the growing population of the planet and its needs, there is an overconsumption of natural resources. The factors that are formed as a result of polymorphism of the system components «economy»-«ecology»-«society» are considered. It is proposed to replace the linear economy model, implemented in particular in the construction industry, with a model of the circular economy with its main imperatives oriented to biosphere-compatible construction at all stages of product creation while preserving natural resources.Keywords: circular economy, recycling, functional transformation, natural capital, greening, object life cycle

The Impact

The article is aimed at defining, substantiating and justifying the economic feasibility of forming a new circular economy model as an innovative platform for sustainable development. As a result of the research, it is determined that the strategic priority of sustainable development of the State is the formation of a qualitatively new model of development of the national economy on the basis of a symbiosis of the circular and environmental economies, facilitating the use of local resources to meet the needs of the economy and ensuring the formation of the closed material and resource cycles. It is proved that the circular economy is a new approach based on the possibility of reproduction, reuse of labor results after their modernization. The principles of closed-loop economy are distinguished as follows: production of durable and reliable products; possibility of repair; reuse; modernization and upgrades; recycling; compatible use; virtualization of production. The general features and differences of the theory of circular economy are singled out. It is emphasized that when forming a new model of circular economy, it is necessary to take into account and link the development of environmental innovations and, accordingly, the ecological economy. However, determining the impact of the environmental economy on the new model of circular economy requires further thorough research.

Promoting the sustainable development is currently a key global issue posing a challenge to all of us on personal, professional and political levels. The education plays a major role in this path, in particular the education for sustainable development (ESD). The traditional one-way transfer of knowledge is no longer sufficient to inspire the students to behave as responsible citizens. This article suggests a number of competencies, which must serve as a basis for ESD, as well as application of the multiple intelligence theory as a mechanism for implementing the competencies derived by students from ESD at the basic education level. It is proved that security competencies in the broadest sense (covering all levels, from personal to the global space) should also be included in the modern educational process. As for the university education, it is required to explain the concept of "sustainability" to all specialties without exception, including the political scientists, engineers and others. This is particularly important for training of experts dealing with the economic law issues. A lack of economic analysis in modern legal studies and development of regulations results in writing and adoption of idle laws hazardous for the country. To upgrade the education system in Ukraine, it is appropriate to develop the National Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development and its implementation plan based on the global Sustainable Development Goals. It is required to switch from traditional education to the model focused on sustainable development with the underlying extensive interdisciplinary knowledge based on an integrated approach to the development of society, economy, and environment. Implementation of this strategy should consider the adaptive nature of the regional education component, in particular the economic features of a relevant region. It is important to focus on the learning processes underlying the circular economy.

Many people today are raising the issue of sustainable development in the face of the danger of an ecological crisis. The economic, social and cultural evolution poses questions to which each of us is called to respond by reflecting on what are the emergencies of the planet, but at the same time to operate for the protection of health and the reduction of environmental damage. The natural disasters that have occurred in recent years lead us to reflect on the responsibility not only of man, but also the social responsibility of governments. So we ask ourselves: is it possible to achieve a green economy model? A famous economist has already mapped out a path to a non-violent economy, based on a model of accountability. This model states that every discovery must be evaluated by civil society, taking into account the balance between the resources used and the results obtained. To achieve a sustainable green economy, it will be essential to build a biodemocracy in which scientific options are widely supported and accepted.

Abstract Plastic, plastic waste and marine litter indisputably is one of the key environmental issues of the 21st century. The already existing amount of accumulated marine litter, the high quantity of plastic waste escaping from waste management streams every year in combination with the low recycling rates for plastic and the missing awareness of the consumer for sustainable consumption pose a permanent threat to the ecosystem, biodiversity and human health. What is more, as economic and ecological interests strongly deviate from each other, the transformation of this status quo towards a more sustainable future will take place very slowly. Against this background, this paper will shortly outline the multitude of problems connected to plastic products throughout a productís lifecycle and introduce the idea of a circular economy. On this basis, the paper will critically analyze the strategy papers and the ongoing legislation of the EU introduced to solve these problems and to realize the transformation process of the EU-economy towards a circular economy from a sustainable development point of view. On the one hand, awareness raising is one main strategy of the EU to achieve this transformation, on the other hand, educational institutions are not specifically mentioned by the EU. In order to address this shortcoming, the paper will constitute the teaching principle global development politics / education for sustainable development as one measure to increase consumersí awareness and sustainable consumption. In general, this paper will proof that the topical area plastics can fruitfully be implemented at German schools for primary and secondary education in order to strengthen the education for sustainable development.

Purpose This paper aims to learn how sustainability and the circular economy were being integrated into the curriculum of a Dutch university and to transfer that knowledge back to a US university business school curriculum. Given the resistance toward integrating sustainability into the US business school curriculum, the Dutch university served as a role model for education for sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach This case study used ethnographic methods of participant observation over a four-month residency at the Dutch university. Findings Themes observed are as follows: success in the current context relied upon sustainability being integrated into the culture and lifestyle, legislative enforcement, a focus on urban sustainability, use of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and collaboration as a key to success. The course proposal shifted to a class on the SDGs which is broader, more inclusive, and interdisciplinary. The proposal to integrate circular economy into the US business school curriculum shifted to a class on the SDGs. It was determined that the SDGs presented a more amenable approach to introduce sustainability into the business school curriculum and meet the objectives of education for sustainable development. Research limitations/implications This case study is based upon the author’s experience at one university in the Netherlands. Limitations include the generalizability of the findings to another university as well as the question of transferability across cultures. Practical implications This case study offers one suggestion for integrating sustainability into the business school curriculum. Social implications Integrating sustainability into the business school curriculum through the SDGs might help overcome resistance. Originality/value The findings offer an alternative approach for integrating sustainability into the business school curriculum that is aligned with AACSB standards and which might face less resistance.

Abstract The sustainable development of agriculture is facing problems such as high resource consumption and serious environmental pollution. The development of circular economy model integrating planting and breeding (CEMIPB) has become an effective way to realize the sustainable development of agriculture. However, due to the large regional differences of circular models, references and comparability are generally lacking. Therefore, exploring economic benefit level and sustainability of CEMIPB through an effective evaluation model is necessary. Accordingly, this paper builds a methodological system for model evaluation and optimization based on the EM-LCA model and validates it with a typical CEMIPB in Fujian Province, China. By comparing the results of the EM-LCA and EMA models, the former effectively compensates for the deficiencies of the latter in terms of economic and environmental impact assessment, and the evaluation results can better reflect the actual situation of the system. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is introduced to identify key processes and substances. Based on the reduce–reuse–recycle principle, several optimization suggestions, such as the corn and veterinary drugs, input reduction are put forward. The construction of the above methodology system can provide a new perspective for research in similar fields and provide a scientific basis for local government decision-making.

Globalization and technological progress call for more efficient supply chains, with economic, social and environmental factors becoming increasingly important. It is possible to solve problems, in particular of ecological nature, which arose during the industrial revolution, and with the existing model of economic development, thanks to the application of the principles and approaches of recycling logistics. Realizing the scale of the negative consequences of the existing model of economic development, it is necessary to move to a new modern environmentally friendly model of green, circular economy. The evolution, goals and features of the circular economy as a modern optimal direction of development are considered. The main approaches to understanding the essence of the circular economy - flow and system - are highlighted and it is proposed to add a synergetic one, which provides for interdisciplinarity and integration through different industries. It is proved that the result of the introduction of a circular economy is to increase the competitiveness of the national economy through energy and resource conservation, reducing carbon emissions, creating new jobs, modernizing the structure of the economy, changing business models. The need to manage logistics support for the development of innovation cooperation is substantiated. Sustainable development of the national economy requires destructive changes and radical innovations, and the ability to ensure this due to adaptation to the circular economy becomes relevant for innovation cooperation. The integration of sustainable development and business development offered by the circular economy model is needed.
