Description of the research topic:
At the beginning of the third millennium, it was proven that we need to achieve a systemic
change in the production, consumption and waste of goods. By developing the circular
bioeconomy, we can find new and innovative solutions for the production of food, energy and
other products without exhausting the Earth's finite biological resources. The current
economic structure is linear: after the raw materials are extracted, the products are
manufactured, consumers use them, and finally they become primarily waste without
recycling.
The circular economy and green supply chain are emerging sustainability development
concepts that can help boost economic growth while also addressing environmental and
resource issues. Similarly, green supply chain management primarily focuses on enhancing
environmental performance, but can also be linked to greater economic performance.
The circular indicator covers a radically different theory and approach compared to the usual
economic system. The primary goal and main advantage of the model is that it keeps
resources within economic processes, thus minimizing the generation of waste, and its
fundamental element is reuse. Out of dozens of business models, the circular economy is
mainly based on five main business models, which are already successfully applied in practice
by many companies. These five models can be used alone or in combination with each other,
depending on which ones best fit the company's profile and activities. 1. Circular delivery, 2.
Resource recovery, 3. Product life extension, 4. Shared platforms, 5. Product as a service.
The circular economy is an important element for the modernization and transformation of the
European economy in the spirit of sustainability. It has a serious economic impact, thanks to
which companies can gain significant profits, so they can become more competitive with
significant energy savings and environmental benefits, and it also creates jobs and social
integration opportunities at the local level.
Possible research directions:
The research analyzes the impact of circular economy and green supply chain management
activities on the company's financial, environmental and economic performance.
Examining circular models, in addition to being sustainable, can also increase the efficiency
of companies, reduce costs, stimulate research and development and innovation, giving
pioneers a competitive advantage.
Analyzing the areas of green supply chain management can be a key approach for businesses
that want to make their businesses environmentally sustainable.
