Development of Localized Production and Processing Systems as a Foundation for Building a Circular Economy in Resource-dependent Regions

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article explores the potential for developing localized production and processing systems in resource-dependent regions as a foundation for building a circular economy. It analyzes the economic, infrastructural, and institutional prerequisites for their effective functioning, as well as their role in reducing import dependence, enhancing on-site raw material processing, and establishing stable regional economic models. The significance of such systems is emphasized in terms of increasing economic self-sufficiency, resilience to external shocks, and employment diversification. The paper also examines case examples of implementing localized production and processing systems in regions characterized by a high share of extractive industries and structural constraints. The conclusion underscores the need for an integrated approach to the development of such models as a tool for territorial transformation. JEL: Q57, R11, O18, O25. Article visualizations:
