Modern business model of an electronic industry enterprise in the conditions of transition to a recycling economy

Aim. Analysis of existing business models of enterprises applicable within the framework of the recycling economy in order to build an effective system of managing the recycling economy under conditions of the selected industry (electronics).

Methodology. The following research methods were chosen: systematization of scientific knowledge and experience of advanced enterprises in terms of building business models (generalization method); identification of the relationship between existing business models and the implementation of applied scientific research in this area (analytical method); assessment of the conditions for creating an effective waste management system for the electronics industry (induction method). Areas for further research are highlighted at the end of the article.

Results. Based on the analyzed data, classes of non-renewable materials were identified in terms of their usage possibility in a closed loop production. Scenarios for the use of electronic waste and their potential impact on the environment are considered. From the standpoint of the most favorable scenario, the main business models of enterprises are found suitable for building a resource-efficient model of the economy. The main goals of building, the results of their application and existing limitations for each business model are identified. The main stages of organization of closed-cycle production and existing concepts considered as tools for achieving the goals of the recycling economy are presented.

Research implications. The theoretical and/or practical significance lies in reveal the potential of applying modern business models of enterprises to form a circular economy in terms of achieving its goals.
