Abstract

The role of the circular economy in the context of sustainable development of Ukraine is studied. It is noted that in modern realities, problems related to the ecological condition of all regions of the country are becoming more acute. At the same time, such a sphere of the circular economy as the treatment of waste that arises in the process of production and circulation comes to the fore. It is emphasized that effective management of existing resources and new methods of waste disposal is extremely important for Ukraine on the way to European integration. The scientific works of scientists dealing with ecological and economic problems were studied and an insufficient number of studies aimed at assessing the factors affecting waste management was noted. It is highlighted that in modern conditions in Ukraine, a linear model of the economy has been introduced, which is characterized by excessive waste generation and low efficiency of resource use. The article describes the process of Ukraine's transition to the principles of a circular economy, which takes into account the tasks set by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine to eliminate the mentioned problems. Based on the data for 2013-2021, the impact of factors related to waste management was evaluated and it was proved that all signs of factors have a positive effect on the result of “waste management”. Waste management is substantiated for the implementation of a circular economy, which is considered at the micro, macro, meso, and mega levels. The article examined the influence of micro- and macro-level factors and assessed the importance of implementing the principles of the circular economy in various industries in the context of the European integration of Ukraine.
