Circular economy is a systemic approach to economic development designed for the benefit of companies, society and the environment. Unlike the linear "take-make-dispose" model, the circular economy is essentially regenerative and aims to gradually separate growth from the consumption of limited resources. One of the goals of the circular economy is a positive effect on the ecosystem and the fight against over exploitation of the natural resources. The circular economy has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the use of raw material, optimize agricultural productivity and reduce the negative impacts brought about by the line model. Today´s companies are increasingly using the circular economy model in their operations, and this is particularly emphasized in China. For example, one of the positive examples is the Huawei company, which is the lobby of the circular economy in China. The introduction of plastic-iron pallets instead of wooden ones and the creation of the global recycling system "Green Action" are just some of the most important examples of the application of the circular economy concept in Huawei´s operations. Other Chinese companies that will be covered in the paper - Guanzhou Huadu Worldwide Transmission, GEM Co. Ltd and Mobike - also devote importance to the circular economy in their operations. The paper aims to present, in addition in addition to the conceptual division of the circular economy and the general determinants of the waste management strategy, concrete examples of the application of the concept of the circular economy in China.
