Abstract: In the past years the importance of the topics related to circular economy has gained momentum. This is understandable given the accelerating climate change, pollution and the numerous environmental and economic challenges that are arising as fallout of them. The aim of the current paper is to outline the key features of the policies of the countries leading in the efforts towards shifting from a linear to circular economic model – Japan, China and the EuropeanUnion. Reviewing the main characteristics of their policies and efforts could bring a lot of light into the main crux of the question related to circular change – how it can take place in practice and what is necessary for it to happen.
