Abstract: The article is intended to show the role of logistics in the circular economy. This is because it encompasses the actual flow of products from their source of production to the final consumer, taking into account all the tasks and activities involved, ensuring efficient, sustainable and economic processes. Circular economy aims to maximise product value through eco-design, increased sustainability, improved quality, eco-efficiency and the widespread use of renewable materials. This approach promotes waste reuse, recycling and recovery, as well as treating waste as a valuable resource. The agricultural industry deserves special attention in the context of the circular economy, so improvements have been proposed to change the agricultural enterprise to a greener and more practical one that applies the principles of the circular economy. Thus, biogas production, the transportation of slurry via pipeline system and the creation of an on-site photovoltaic panel farm were suggested. The application of these improvements could make the company independent and use only its resources. Furthermore, by using renewable energy sources, the company could increase its competitiveness in the market, become an independent entity and reduce its operating costs, all while increasing its efficiency.
