Abstract

Circular economy is a change of views on how human society is interconnected with nature, and is aimed at preventing the depletion of primary resources, reducing the negative impact on the environment, minimizing waste generation. The purpose of this article is to consider and trace the prerequisites for the formation and development of the concept of circular economy, having studied and systematized the approaches of representatives of different economic schools since 1800, in order to identify the circular economy as a new paradigm or not? To analyze ecological and environmental consciousness in the context of philosophical reflections, neoclassical and classical approaches, well-known economists of different times who made a significant contribution to the development and formation of economic science. This article examines and examines the views of such famous economists as A.K. Storch, T. Malthus, J. Mill, T. Veblen, J. Galbraith, A. Pigou, R. Coase, J. Stigler, L.V. Kantrovich, C. Koopmans, K.

As a result of this study, using the historical method and systematizing various approaches of the authors, it was found that the prerequisites for the formation of a circular economy were laid more than 250 years ago, and theoretical and methodological approaches are not new and combine the results of research by scientists in various fields: philosophy, agriculture, environment, mathematics, economics, environmental management, etc. By the method of comparison and scientific modeling, the role of the circular economy in resource conservation is revealed while simultaneously achieving economic and social, as well as environmental results in order to preserve the environment and reduce the burden on the ecosystem by harmful emissions. This study is a continuation and supplemention of the author's research in the field of circular economy.
