The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of a circular economy on entrepreneurial business models and improving resource productivity in industrial business.

Moreover, the article analyzes how to measure the effects of circular economy implementation on business and the economy. This article discovers the benefits of circular economy implementation for business and the economy and how it affects waste management. It is necessary to analyze a circular economy as a new economic model to improve waste recycling, becoming less dependent on primary energy and materials inputs, and ultimately being able to regenerate our natural capital. The article studies possible models of some practical aspects of circular economy implementation in entrepreneurial business models. The originality of this work lies in studying waste recycling and as a resource for manufacturing possibilities. (original abstract)

Celem niniejszej pracy jest ocena wpływu gospodarki kołowej na modele biznesowe przedsiębiorczości i poprawę produktywności zasobów w branży przemysłowej. Przegląd literatury i analiza danych obejmuje zagadnienia dotyczące sposobu analizy obiegowej i wpływu na efektywność biznesu i gospodarki państwa. Ponadto w artykule przeanalizowano sposoby mierzenia efektów wdrożeniowych gospodarki obiegowej w biznesie i go-spodarce. W artykule ukazano korzyści wdrożenia gospodarki obiegowej w biznesie i go-spodarce oraz jak wpływa na gospodarowanie odpadami. Konieczna jest analiza gospodarki obiegowej jako nowego modelu gospodarczego w celu poprawy recyklingu odpadów, coraz mniej zależnego od nakładów energii i surowców pierwotnych, a ostatecznie umożliwiającego zregenerowanie naszych surowców naturalnych. Artykuł dotyczy analizy dostępnych modeli niektórych praktycznych aspektów wdrażania gospodarki obiegowej w modelach biznesowych przedsiębiorczości. Oryginalność pracy wiąże się z badaniami recyklingu odpadów jako źródła możliwości produkcyjnych. (abstrakt oryginalny)
