<p style="text-align:justify;">Innovative&nbsp;projects, connecting the circular economy with sustainable territorial&nbsp;development, promote multiple synergic effects, thus helping to dynamite the&nbsp;various aspects of sustainable development – economic, social, and ecological.&nbsp;In order for such projects to succeed, however, some conditions must be in&nbsp;place at the same time. The aim of this research is, based on some projects&nbsp;selected according to a set of criteria, to analyze the levers and barriers to&nbsp;developing new business models built on the circular economy principles. An&nbsp;exhaustive study of each of these projects and a comparative analysis allow us to&nbsp;derive some common features and develop a typology that makes it possible to&nbsp;identify and shed light on the new requirements, conditions, and factors for the&nbsp;successful realization of projects of similar type. Also, concrete&nbsp;recommendations are given concerning the necessary support from national and&nbsp;local public authorities. The study is based on primary and secondary sources&nbsp;and applies the causal approach, analysis, synthesis, and survey.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">At the end of 2019, the European Commission&nbsp;presented its new long-term vision for the development of the EU. A strategy&nbsp;for growth, a fair environmental transition, a resource-efficient and&nbsp;low-carbon economy are the key highlights of this ambitious strategy for the&nbsp;next decade. Built on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this transformation goes through a complete change in the production and territorial&nbsp;infrastructure. It covers a whole set of activities, new practices and business&nbsp;models, interconnected and hierarchically ordered, according to their&nbsp;contribution to optimizing the use of raw materials and&nbsp;energy. The circular economy refers to the ability of an economy to grow while the use of resources decreases. The aim of this&nbsp;paper is to analyse the relationship between key indicators presenting the&nbsp;countries progress of transition to the circular economy, and a group of&nbsp;factors related to investment in R&amp;D, green technologies and waste recovery&nbsp;and on this basis to outline the opportunities that the European Green Deal&nbsp;opens up for a faster and more efficient transformation of the economy from linear&nbsp;to circular. Comparative analysis between three clusters of EU countries is&nbsp;made. Time series analysis and correlation analysis along with comparative&nbsp;analysis are applied in the research. The conclusions reached point to the&nbsp;still existing connection with the linear model of development and the delay of&nbsp;the transition to a model of real circular economy. Efforts done till now have&nbsp;yielded results, but for the active "closure" of the circle active&nbsp;policies, synchronized actions by government, business and society are needed.&nbsp;This requires adequate measures taken by the public authorities and decisive&nbsp;reforms in the eco-innovation policy.</p>
