The article defines the essence and features of waste management in the circular economy. Over the past three decades, the entire progressive world has been striving to put into practice the concept of sustainable development, which involves the formation of a balance of ecological, economic and social aspects. The article is concerned with generalizing and systematizing modern theoretical and practical approaches to achieving the goals of sustainable development. A research of directions of improvement of waste management in the circular economy is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the concept of circular economy. The methodological basis of the research was the conceptual principles of sustainable development, the «green» economy, the circular economy (closed-loop economy). Analysis, synthesis, classification, observation, study of various sources of information were used as the main methods of scholar work. The possibility and significance of taking into account the goals of sustainable development in the management of general modernization processes in both society and the economy is proved. It is identified that development of the umbrella concept of the «green» economy, which acts as an instrument for achieving these goals, is based on the concepts of environmentally friendly production, the best available technologies and the circular economy. The theoretical and practical bases of circular economy as a new trend of implementation of the concept of sustainable development are considered. The normative-legal, market, financial, investment, economic, technological and organizational factors influencing the application of the principles of circular economy in Ukraine are examined. The results of the study can serve as the basis for achieving the goals of sustainable development at different levels and in the spheres of economic management with the help of circular economy instruments: circular business models, secondary markets, methods for managing the cyclicality of production and consumption.

Waste Management System

Russia is just starting to become a circular and green economy. The development of an efficient national waste management system is a prerequisite for the circular economy (CE). Russian companies are already moving toward adopting more circular business models because it is proven to be a sound business strategy. This strategy facilitates access to new markets, drives innovative solutions, and saves production costs. This paper presents a general understanding of the CE concept. Using practical examples, we show how the Russian government and other stakeholders are providing solutions to advance the development of the waste management system. The paper demonstrates political, legal, and institutional changes implemented through waste management practices and reforms. We introduce four stages of evolution of waste management in Russia and discuss the changing roles of stakeholders in a waste management ecosystem. We conduct a case study of the best available techniques of waste management in leading Russian companies to identify the roles existing in waste management systems (WMS), to allocate responsibilities of each role, and to describe three types of corporate strategies of waste management. The paper is based on the analysis of official public documents and official reports of leading Russian companies.

he concept of a circular economy, which is a practical basis for the implementation of an environmental economy and offers effective business models to ensure more efficient use of resources, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals, is studied in the article.The main processes of the eco-destructive influence of mankind on the environment are characterized. To determine the degree of eco-destructive influence allows a special indicator −the ecological footprintshowing the demand of the human population for natural capital.It is possible to reduce the effects of eco-destructive impact on nature through the introduction of new life concepts. The connection between the concepts of sustainable development, environmental economics and circular economy is traced. An environmental economy is one way to achieve sustainable development, and a circular economy is a specific tool for the transition to an environmental economy.Circular economy is one of the directions of the green economy. The systems approach presents a circular economy as a model of an economic system, which is an element of a technogenic systemand is based on the reuse of materials, thereby conserving natural resources, and considers the issue of creating value for the elements of the system.It is shown that the principles of the circular economy are implemented through five business models, the introduction of which is possible due to the combination of the circular economy processes in frameworks of varying complexity from «4R» to «9R» based on industrial metabolism and symbiosis, when the interaction between the elements of the technogenic system can be carried out at the micro-, meso- and macrolevels in resourced according to the cascade principle, when the wastes of one production are raw materials for another, thereby ensuring a decrease in the eco-destructive impact on the environment.The circular economy takes into account the biological and technical cycles of the circulation of resources and the potential benefits that can be obtained at different levels of these cycles, it involves a transition from a linear economy to a closed-loop economy. The introduction of a circular economy requires changes in existing logistics systems. Closed supply chains are created that combine the usual processes of a direct supply chain with reverse logistics processes, which can significantly reduce the eco-destructive impact on the environment.

Demolition Waste

In the world, around 30% of the total solid waste is construction and demolition waste. In India, as per the building material promotion council, 150 million tonnes of C&D waste is generated every year. In the total C&D waste, only one percent which is 6500 tonnes per day is recycled, mentioned in the report released by the Centre for science and environment, New Delhi. There is a rising gap between increasing demand and limited sources in the construction sector of India. It leads to market instability and environmental harm. Linear business model is most commonly used in present times. It is one of the main reasons for the increase of C&D wastes. This linear approach (source-commodity-waste) encourages the one-use of products. It leads to excessive dumping of C&D wastes in landfills, which is not a sustainable practice. Circular business models leads to closed-loop approach (source-commodity-waste-new source). The adoption of circular business models in C&D waste management is the possible solution for the decreasing resources. This study aims to discuss the implementation of various approaches including conceptual models, methods, and tools of circular business models in the C&D waste management in India, which leads to the circular economy and sustainable development. Through the study of recent literature sources, various data related to circular business models, circular economy are collected. Data analysis will be done using the literature review. This research will highlight the socio-economic, environmental benefits, improvements, and the applicability of circular business models in the C&D waste management of India. This paper is concluded that framing strict circular economy policies for India would encourage the implementation of CBM in C&D waste management which reduces the need for fresh resources and ensures sustainable development.

First Time

For the first time in the scientific literature, this research shows an analysis of the implementation of circular economy techniques under sustainable development framework in six municipalities with a depressed economy in Colombia. The analysis is based on solid waste data production at a local scale, the valuation of the waste for subsequent recycling, and the identification and quantification of the variables associated with the treatment and final disposal of waste, in accordance with the Colombian regulatory framework. Waste generation data are obtained considering three different scenarios, in which a comparison between the simulated values and those established in the management plans are compared. Important differences have been identified between the waste management programs of each municipality, specifically regarding the components of waste collection, transportation and disposal, participation of environmental reclaimers, and potential use of materials. These differences are fundamentally associated with the different administrative processes considered for each individual municipality. This research is a good starting point for the development of waste management models based on circular economy techniques, through the subsequent implementation of an office tool in depressed regions such as those studied.

The article examines the infrastructure approach to the implementation of the concept of sustainable development in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). This is done from the point of view of compliance of this development with the so-called megatrends of the world economy, highlighting theoretical, conceptual, and technological aspects. he characteristic of modern geoeconomic and geopolitical factors of development of the AZRF is given. A brief comparative analysis of applicability of economic models that are relevant the concept of sustainable development in the case of the Russian Arctic: bioeconomy, green economy, and circular economy. A few conditions for the implementation of the circular economy model in the Russian Arctic is considered. In connection with the representation of the AZRF as a heterogeneous socio-economic, real-virtual, socio-cyber-physical space, a special role of logistics infrastructure is shown as necessary condition for ensuring the sustainable development of this largest Russian region. The emphasis is made on the need to conceptualize the concept of "logistics infrastructure". Based on a holistic approach to logistics, a 5-layer (underwater, water, ground, air, space) conceptual research holistic model is proposed that could be used for designing, constructing, and monitoring the system of logistics flows in the Russian Arctic. The result of an analytical assessment (in dimensions of "digitalization" and "sustainability") of the state of the Art and possible development for the underwater layer of the logistics infrastructure of the Russian Arctic. The conclusions of the article could be useful both for designing the logistics infrastructure of the Russian Arctic, and for designing the courses of disciplines of higher education relevant to the problem under consideration.

Waste Accumulation

The world ecological problem of waste accumulation, environmental pollution and the need to develop a circular economy are described. The aim of the article is to show the advantage of using a circular economy in the management of the national economy. It is substantiated that resource management should radically change from a linear model of accept-use-dispose to a more stable, circular model. It is proved that the principles of circular economy are not based on the management of material and waste flows, but on more valuable methods, such as maintenance, recycling and reuse. Different models of circular economy and their shortcomings are considered. Based on practical world experience in implementing the concept of circular economy, 5 main circular business models are identified. It has been established that circular supply chains that minimize waste and seek to reuse, repair and recycle where waste cannot be prevented should be more sustainable than the linear systems they replace. It was found that in the absence of effective resource management, the current environmental situation will lead to fatal consequences, which confirms the need for public administration to ensure the use of a circular economy.
