Abstract
There is increasing talk about the need for mechanisms to reduce the pressure on our planet and the benefits of moving towards a green economy. In this regard, attention is focused on various packages of economic indicators, including several stages - from the creation of the product and its consumption to the need for waste management at the end of its life cycle. The circular economy is a model aimed at extending the life cycle of products. The aim of this study is to synthesize the main strategies and principles for sustainable waste management, the pros and cons of the circular economy, as well as to outline some potential paths for the transition to a circular economy. The relevance of the study is determined by modern trends in harmonizing policies and national measures for the management of packaging and packaging waste. Improving the quality of the environment by preventing and reducing the impact of packaging and packaging waste, preventing the production of packaging waste and promoting the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of packaging waste instead of its final disposal, thus contributing to the transition to a circular economy.
