linear economy

Purpose. Today, global issues such as population growth, depletion of natural resources, deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change show that existing methods of managing the economy are no longer effective and harm the environment. The solution to this problem is the transition to balanced sustainable development, in particular through the circular economy model, which is attracting more and more attention from scientists and practitioners.

In the field of waste management, Ukraine is far behind the EU countries, which is, in particular, a consequence of the existing linear model of the economy, and creates significant risks for the environment and the population.
