Abstract: Abstract Background Problem The concept of a “Circular Economy (CE)” emerges as an effort to deal with sustainability problems like diminished resource availability, degradation of biodiversity, and climate variability by means of purposeful redesign of procedures and goods, recycling of materials, and the utilization of sources of clean energy over all energy in the manufacturing process. Objectives CE Procedures also support and rebuild the ecosystem, human health, and a healthy society, while resources are utilized to produce value so that economic growth is not obstructed by a lack of supplies of raw materials. Additionally, CE also acts as a tool for achieving an extensive list of SDG objectives. SDG 8 is concerned with adequate work and growth in the economy, while SDG 7 is about clean and inexpensive energy. Brief Methodology The research presented here employs a regression technique for examining the influence of the principles of the circular economy on growth in the economy, thereby helping toward accomplishing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Brief Results The outcomes demonstrate a slight but substantial effect, and that has been confirmed by an ANOVA test that disapproves of the null hypothesis. The coefficient analysis demonstrates a beneficial connection within circular economy methods, lowering waste production as well as economic output. Overall Significance of Undertaking the work This evaluation additionally emphasizes the circular economy’s essential role in promoting economic acceleration while positively influencing UNSDGS achievement, affirming its position as an important driver of a developing and sustainable economy in accordance with developing worldwide objectives.
