    EXPLORING SOUTH AFRICA AS A CIRCULAR ECONOMY: A PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
    (Бургаски свободен университет, 2024) Da-Nina Rose
    The concept of circular economies is gaining prominence in political debate and corporate discourse globally as a sustainable development model that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production, and reduce environmental impacts. In South Africa, the adoption of circular economy principles is seen as a promising pathway to address environmental and resource management challenges while fostering economic growth and sustainability. This paper considers how South African organisations are using circularity to establish competitive advantage for their operations and the greater society.

    BRIDGING THE GAP: FINANCING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
    (Бургаски свободен университет, 2024) Yordanov, Nikolay; Asenova, Kamelia
    The adoption of a circular economy (CE) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is a vital approach for achieving sustainable development. However, it has substantial financial obstacles, specifically in obtaining sufficient finance. This paper examines the function of green bonds as a fundamental financial tool to address the financing gap with respect to the CE in CEE. We analyze the current state of green bond markets in the region. By conducting research of green bond issuances, we investigate the effectiveness, difficulties, and future possibilities of green bonds in promoting the circular economy agenda. The results suggest that although green bonds have begun to acquire popularity, there are significant possibilities for expansion and improvement. The paper provides strategic ideas for policymakers, financial institutions, and enterprises to effectively utilize green bonds in expediting the shift towards a circular economy in CEE.
