POSSIBILITIES FOR APPLYING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY CONCEPT TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF NATURAL RESOURCE USE IN THE REGIONAL ECONOMY

Аннотация

The linear "take-make-dispose" economic model is straining regional economies and natural resources. The circular economy, which prioritizes resource retention and waste reduction, presents a promising alternative. This abstract explores the potential of applying circular economy principles to enhance natural resource efficiency in a regional context. We discuss key strategies like extending product lifecycles, promoting repair and reuse, developing innovative recycling technologies, and fostering collaborative consumption models. Implementing these approaches can yield both environmental and economic benefits, creating a more resilient and sustainable regional economy. Keywords: Circular economy, regional development, natural resource efficiency, resource retention, waste reduction, product lifecycles, repair, reuse, recycling, collaborative consumption, sustainability, economic resilience. ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ КОНЦЕПЦИИ ЦИРКУЛЯРНОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ ДЛЯ ПОВЫШЕНИЯ ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ ПРИРОДНЫХ РЕСУРСОВ В РЕГИОНАЛЬНОЙ ЭКОНОМИКЕ Аннотация. Линейная экономическая модель «бери-используй-выбрасывай» создает нагрузку на региональную экономику и природные ресурсы. Экономика замкнутого цикла, в которой приоритет отдается сохранению ресурсов и сокращению отходов, представляет собой многообещающую альтернативу. В этом реферате исследуется потенциал применения принципов экономики замкнутого цикла для повышения эффективности использования природных ресурсов в региональном контексте. Мы обсуждаем ключевые стратегии, такие как продление жизненного цикла продуктов, содействие ремонту и повторному использованию, разработка инновационных технологий переработки и развитие моделей совместного потребления. Реализация этих подходов может принести как экологические, так и экономические выгоды, создавая более устойчивую и устойчивую региональную экономику. Ключевые слова: циркулярная экономика, региональное развитие, эффективность использования природных ресурсов, сохранение ресурсов, сокращение отходов, жизненный цикл продукции, ремонт, повторное использование, переработка, совместное потребление, устойчивость, экономическая устойчивость. Circular economy (AI) is a model of economic development aimed at reducing waste, pollution and using resources. It is based on the principle of "waste as a resource" and strives to maximize the use of materials and energy throughout the life of a product or service. In contrast 5 96 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2024 VOLUME 3 / ISSUE 2 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ to the traditional linear economy based on the create, use, discard model, the circular economy focuses on saving resources and reducing the negative impact on the environment. As examples of the circular economy, we can cite the following: Use of renewable resources: use of solar, wind and water energy instead of fossil fuels [1]; Manufacturing products from recycled materials: using recycled plastic to make new bottles or recycled metal to make new cars; Repair and reuse of goods: instead of buying new goods, repair or reuse old ones; Waste recycling: recycling waste instead of disposal; The existing body of academic literature considers the implementation of AI at three levels: micro (single company or individual consumer), meso (eco-industrial park, supply chain) and macro (city, province, region, nation) [2] . However, this classification is not consistently used in the scientific community. Despite the inconsistency of the underlying levels of implementation, a regional level of AI adoption is beginning to emerge in the literature. Such practices are widely implemented mainly in European countries. This is due to their scale and managed economic systems, their proximity to environmental, social and economic issues and their ability to draw on the local expertise of relevant stakeholders. One of the local scientists, Uktamov Khusnidin, proposed to base the model of the impact of circular economy innovations on the safety of industrial enterprises. ("3 R" (resource, processing, results)). The functional dependence of industrial enterprises in the 3 R model of the economic security system on the integrated parameters in the circular economy concept is carried out by combining the goals of energy efficiency and resource utilization profitability in the formation of preventive protection, and through this, a mechanism for ensuring the economic security of industrial enterprises has been developed [3]. According to Strat and other scholars, the regional circular economy (MAI) is the foundation of a functional global AI. National interconnected AIs must be in place to ensure the implementation of AIs at scale, but they can only be built in stages if interconnected regional AIs are in place. Synchronized efforts are required not only on the technical side, but also to provide a supportive management system that creates incentives, encourages innovation, and generates information. Howe
