Title: Priložnosti, izzivi in potrebne spremembe za prehod v krožno gospodarstvo v Sloveniji Authors: Žerak, Damir (Author) Golob, Tea (Mentor) More about this co-author... Language: Slovenian Work type: Bachelor thesis/paper Tipology: 2.11 - Undergraduate Thesis Organization: FUDS - School of advanced social studies Abstract: Krožno gospodarstvo ločuje gospodarsko rast od rabe virov in vpliva na okolje. Linearno gospodarstvo je netrajnostna oblika poslovanja, porabe in proizvodnje in predstavlja 91,6 % svetovnega gospodarstva. Krožno gospodarstvo, ki predstavlja 8,4 % svetovnega gospodarstva in pomeni sistemski premik iz linearnih gospodarskih praks, ustvarja nove poslovne in gospodarske priložnosti ter zagotavlja okoljske in družbene koristi. Pandemija Covida-19 pa je še dodatno razgalila številne pomanjkljivosti celotne družbe. Potrebne so sistemske spremembe. Zaradi navedenih dejstev smo se v diplomski nalogi odločili raziskovati krožno gospodarstvo in njegove prednosti, priložnosti, izzive in ovire. Rezultate smo pridobili s primerjavo sekundarnih in primarnih virov, katere smo pridobili s kvalitativno raziskovalno metodo polstrukturiranih intervjujev s predstavniki Ministrstva za gospodarski razvoj in turizem, SRIP – krožno gospodarstvo in Gospodarske zbornice Slovenije. Z analizo smo ugotovili, da so glavne prednosti in priložnosti krožnega gospodarstva finančne koristi, ohranjanje naravnih virov, zmanjšanje negativnih vplivov na okolje, več inovativnih poslovnih idej, preprečevanje nastajanja odpadkov, zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov in kakovostnejši slog življenja. Kot ključno oviro, pomanjkljivost in hkrati izziv smo skozi analizo prepoznali medresorsko sodelovanje med gospodarskim sektorjem, vladami, raziskovalnimi in akademskimi inštitucijami ter civilno družbo in nevladnimi organizacijami. Raziskava je pokazala tudi, da bi za bolj uspešen prehod na krožno gospodarstvo morali izboljšati medresorsko sodelovanje in povečati investicije v raziskave in razvoj, ki bi s svojimi inovacijami olajšale prehod na krožno ekonomijo. Hkrati pa se je nakazala potreba po večjem ozaveščanju potrošnikov, da bi le-ti pogosteje posegali po produktih in storitvah, ki so plod trajnostnih in krožnih poslovnih ter proizvodnih procesov.

Title:	Opportunities, challenges and necessary changes for the transition to the circular economy in Slovenia
Abstract:	The circular economy separates economic growth from resource use and environmental impact. The linear economy is an unsustainable form of business, consumption and production and represents 91.6% of the world economy. The circular economy, which represents 8.4% of the world economy is a systemic shift from linear economic practices, creates new business and economic opportunities and provides environmental and social benefits. The Covid-19 pandemic exposed many of the shortcomings of society as a whole. Systemic changes are needed. Due to the above facts, we decided to research the circular economy and its advantages, opportunities, challenges and obstacles in our diploma thesis. The results were achieved by comparing secondary and primary sources, which were obtained by a qualitative research method of semi-structured interviews with representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development and Tourism, SRIP - Circular Economy and the Chamber of Commerce of Slovenia. The analysis revealed that the main advantages and opportunities of the circular economy are financial benefits, conservation of natural resources, reduction of negative environmental impacts, more innovative business ideas, waste prevention, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and better quality of life. Through analysis we found out that a key obstacle, shortcoming and challenge is inter-sectoral cooperation between the business sector, governments, research and academic institutions, and civil society and non-governmental organizations. The research also showed that for a more successful transition to a circular economy, we should improve inter-sectoral cooperation and increase investment in research and development, which would facilitate the transition to a circular economy through their innovations. At the same time, there is a need to raise consumer awareness so that they could more often use products and services that are the result of sustainable and circular business and production processes.
