RAZVOJ MODELA KROŽNEGA GOSPODARSTVA IN PRIMERJAVA REPUBLIKE SLOVENIJE S ČEŠKO REPUBLIKO

Krašovec, Aja (author), Aristovnik, Aleksander (mentor)

Odpadki predstavljajo del našega življenja že od nekdaj in imajo velik vpliv na okolje in na zdravje ljudi. Trenutno se v svetu še v veliki meri izvaja linearni model ravnanja z odpadki, po načelu: vzemi, naredi, užij in odvrzi, z zahtevami Evropske unije pa je prehod v model krožnega gospodarstva neizogiben. V diplomski nalogi želim predstaviti, kako bo tranzicija v nov model ravnanja z odpadki pripomogla h večji kakovosti vode, zraka in tal ter posledično življenja na Zemlji. V diplomi je predstavljen model krožnega gospodarstva in sicer njegov izvor, šole, ki so pripomogle k razvoju modela, pričakovani rezultati, težave, prednosti in koristi. V diplomski nalogi je predstavljeno trenutno stanje okolja, statistični podatki o količini odpadkov in ravnanje podjetij z odpadki in njihovo obnovo. Opisani so različni dejavniki, s katerimi bi se spodbudil prehod v krožno gospodarstvo. Opisane so prednosti in slabosti, ki se lahko pojavijo s prehodom v krožno gospodarstvo ter priložnosti in nevarnosti za podjetja. Pojavila so se podjetja, ki so v svojih poslovnih procesih začela gospodarno ravnati z odpadki in si z različnimi možnosti ravnanja z odpadki povečala dobiček. Ravnanje z odpadki se nanaša na obnovo, ponovno uporabo, popravilo, zamenjavo, preoblikovanje izdelka ter najem izdelkov. Namen diplomskega dela je poleg analize krožnega gospodarstva, predstaviti Fundacija Ellen MacArtur, ki je vodilna organizacija za pomoč pri tranziciji v krožno gospodarstvo, katere del je postala RS. Opisana je primerjalna analiza dveh držav članic EU-28, Republike Slovenije in Češke Republike. Diplomska naloga pripomore k razumevanju krožnega gospodarstva, poda možne rešitve in poslovne možnosti za podjetja in pripomore k gospodanemu ravnanju posameznikov pri ravnanju z odpadki.

• Title: DEVELOPMENT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND COMPARISON OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA AND CZECH REPUBLIC

Abstract

Waste has been a part of our lives since time immemorial and has always had a huge impact on the environment, and more importantly, on human health. We are currently still largely served by a linear model of waste management, following the »take, make, exploit and dispose of« principle, but the requirements of the European Union make the transition into a model of circular economy inevitable. In the Bachelor's thesis ahead, my aim is to present how the transition into the new model of waste management will contribute to better water, air and soil quality and, consequently, in improved quality of life. The Bachelor's thesis is concerned with the model of circular economy. It describes the origin, schools that have contributed to the development of the model and the expected results if implemented. The thesis starts of by portraying the current state of the environment, statistics on the volume of waste, followed by the introduction of waste management companies. These point out different factors that need to be taken care of in order for the transition to take place. Next, the advantages and disadvantages that may occur with the transition are presented, as well as the opportunities and threats for the companies. There are plenty of companies that have incorporated responsible waste management into their business processes and, through different forms of waste disposal, increased their profits. Waste management refers to the restoration, reuse, repair, replacement and conversion of the products and rental products. The aim of the thesis is, besides the general analysis of the circular economy, to introduce the Ellen MacArtur Foundation, the lead organization to assist with the transition into a circular economy, which Slovenia is a member of. Disclosed, a comparative analysis of two EU-28 countries, the Republic of Slovenia and Czech Republic, can be found. The thesis contributes to the understanding of circular economy, proposes possible solutions and business opportunities for companies and promotes responsible waste management of individuals.
