TOOLS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Abstract
A circular economy can be a solution to a global environmental problem. However, despite the large number of advantages, there are barriers that create difficulties in its implementation. Advanced modern technologies can greatly contribute to facilitating the transition to a circular economy. Depending on the way the existing processes are improved, they were divided into three groups. The first group includes digital technologies (digital twin, blockchain, cloud technologies and the Internet of Things) and is associated with the receipt, processing and systematization of information. As the second group, physical technologies (3D printing, robotics and nanotechnologies) were highlighted. They are aimed at optimizing the production process and waste management. The third group includes biotechnologies (bioenergy and bio-based materials), which have significant potential in increasing the productivity and fertility of the land. In addition, an analysis of the main practices of introducing approaches and advanced technologies by companies as part of the transition to the concept of a circular economy was carried out. Companies such as Danone, Unilever, Phillips, Renault and BASF, which are developing strategies to reuse resources in the production chain, were considered. The key stages of introducing new methods into the company’s existing business processes were also emphasized: stage of analysis (of the external and internal environment), strategy formation (clear presentation of results, formation of a methodology and team), preparation for change (informing staff and adjusting existing structures ), monitoring processes (compliance with the plan, intermediate results) and monitoring the achievement of results (achieving the plan and analyzing the results).
