Methods Increasing The Competitiveness Of Entrepreneurial Structures In A Circular Economy

Abstract

The study considered the methods increasing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of recycling of secondary polymer materials, which are using innovative closed-cycle technologies. The essence, principles and conceptual provisions of a circular economy in modern conditions are formulated, the possibility of using various groups of polymers as materials promising for the creation of closed cycles is studied. The fundamental differences between a circular economy and a linear economy, and the key conditions for the application and implementation of closed value-added chains in a circular economic system are studied. The main methods increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in the field of recycling and their products are highlighted. The main and supporting processes of the value-added chain of small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of polymer recycling, which determine the competitiveness of these enterprises and their products, are considered. The formation of the competitive advantage of small and medium-sized enterprises and their products in the field of recycling of polymers through the rational main and supporting processes of the value-added chain is described. The process of commodity circulation of secondary polymer materials in a linear and circular economic model are analyzed from the point of view of the impact on the competitive potential of small and medium-sized enterprises that recycle polymers. The reorganization of commodity circulation of secondary raw materials and correction of the value-added chain for products of small and medium enterprises in the field of polymer recycling are proposed.
