The implementation of the circular economy, as an integral support for sustainable development, is the result of established economic policy in the macroeconomic and microeconomic dimensions. In its essence, the creation of the mentioned policy represents a mix of interlinked goals of economic, social, ecological, global, regional, etc.. For this reason, the basic initial determinants of the conceptual economic-political strategy lie mainly in the sociological and political aspects of the formation of society in developed market economies since the second half of the 20th century until the onset of Industry 4.0. From a sociological point of view, from the mentioned period, this society took on a whole range of attributes, such as consumer, informational, risky, etc. From a political point of view, the concepts of economic policy within the framework of the implementation of the circular economy represent the reduction of undesirable phenomena accompanying this social development. For the reasons cited above, the article is prepared with an interdisciplinary approach of economics, economic policy theory, sociology and political science.
