Abstract:
This article analyzes the concepts of the circular economy as an opposite to the linear model of economy. The implementation of both models in different countries is considered. In order to reduce waste and extend the useful life of goods, it is necessary to radically change the existing consumption model and existing social patterns. It is impossible to ensure such transformations relying solely on the market forces – the key actors are the state and the scientific community.
