Problems and factors influencing the development of the circular economy principles in Kazakhstan

Many countries have begun to form new concepts of effective management that simultaneously support the ecosystem of the planet and ensure economic growth, as a result of which a circular economy model of the economy has been developed. Strategies for the transition to a circular model have been adopted at the state level in the European Union, China, Japan, and South Korea. The purpose of the study is to form a mechanism for a circular business model in order to increase the level of efficiency of the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the problems and factors affecting the development of the circular economy. Determining the most appropriate method of transforming the business model of an enterprise according to complex ecological and economic criteria and forming an integrated mechanism for the development of a circular model of an enterprise is an important scientific and practical task that requires immediate solution. The value of the conducted research lies in the development of mechanisms for the transition of agricultural enterprises to a circular model and the formation of an optimal circular model. The practical significance of the results of the work are the republican and regional authorities that develop regional programs and projects for the development of a closed cycle of the economy, as well as agro-industrial enterprises and companies dealing with sustainable development and waste management issues.
