Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of circular economy principles application in the current conditions of high economic volatility. The authors study the experience of circular economy introduction in the Western countries, as well as options that would be most viable for Russian. The article analyzes the existing legislation in the field of waste control and recycling. Special attention should also be paid to the eco-labeling of goods, which allows consumers to make an informed choice in favor of manufacturers who actively implement the basic principles of the circular economy. The authors analyzed the existing as well as prospective state certification standards (GOST) governing the rules of labeling. Another important step in the transition to a circular economy model is the introduction of eco-design at the manufacturer level. This approach allows you to create products with an extended life span and higher degree of repairability. It is also extremely important for the Russian economy to move to a circular economy in the production of hydrocarbons, where a significant part of the waste is produced, and a significant carbon footprint remains. The authors studied the measures taken by the largest representatives of this industry in order to comply with global sustainable development practices, as well as to ensure additional stability in the face of sanctions.
