“…Hence, the influence of circular practices on the formation of market requires further research [10]. Recent developments and changes in the waste management framework of the Russian Federation have considered that waste as a resource [11,12]. This has paved the way towards introducing the CE model into the country's economy.…”

As an approach to move towards a sustainable waste management system, circular economy (CE) is gaining an increased interest by most countries. Russia is among the countries where the CE is one of the priorities of the country’s economy, with a market value of the CE is USD$ 755.05 billion. However, such a strategy is facing challenges and barriers which are country specific. This study aimed to review the status of the CE in Russia and to identify the obstacles that are hindering the country from achieving its objectives. Moreover, the study aimed to evaluate the role of eco-industrial parks (EIP) in Russia in promoting the CE model. The study findings indicate that the CE adoption in Russia is still in its early stages. To create an enabling environment for CE promotion in Russia, there is a need to overcome several institutional, technical, and social barriers. Russian higher educational institutions are playing a major role to create the critical mass of experts that will help the country transition towards a CE model. Using life cycle assessment (LCA) to analyze the environmental performance of one of the EIPs in Russia revealed that such enterprises are more sustainable than the business-as-usual scenarios, under which the generated solid waste is buried into landfill. The comparison shows that by diverting 1.813 million tons of mixed municipal solid waste that is generated in Moscow to EIP would lead to a reduction in environmental impacts. The total global warming potential of the EIP scenario is less, by 59%, than the direct landfilling scenario, while the eutrophication, acidification, smog, and ozone depletion are less, and fossil fuel depletion impacts under the second scenario are less, by 81%, 26%, 18%, and 81%, respectively. Furthermore, the health impacts including carcinogenic, non-carcinogenic, eco-toxicity were found to be 92%, 96%, and 96%, respectively, less than the baseline scenario.

“…There are papers that present an overview of CE strategies in different scopes and from different perspectives, such as policy interventions at different levels (Kalioujny et al, 2016;Su et al, 2013), CE principles in certain industries (Lieder and Rashid, 2016), or analysis of general current and historical CE implementation (Kalmykova et al, 2017;Winans et al, 2017). The same approach is observed for urban CE implementation where Prendeville et al, (2016) describe the progress of various European cities in the implementation of CE strategies and Wang et al, (2018) do the same for Chinese cities.…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the SBToolPT Urban assessment method can be used together to assess the circular economy in the built environment and promote urban sustainability. In this conceptual analysis, the focus is on developing urban sustainability indicators that can help to assess the circular economy in the built environment SBToolPT Urban includes a set of tools that are designed to help to align operations and activities with the SDGs. These indicators should be aligned with the SDGs and the SBToolPT Urban assessment method, which provides a comprehensive framework for assessing sustainability in urban areas. Using these indicators, the SBToolPT Urban can become an assessment method for projects that are wished to be implemented based on the SDGs. Through these indicators, urban areas can be assessed on their sustainability and circular economy performance and opportunities for improvement can be identified as well. This can help to promote sustainability and circular economy in the built environment and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs related interconnected and provide a comprehensive framework for achieving sustainable development and addressing the world's most pressing environmental, social, and economic challenges.
