Abstract

Environmental challenges, especially in the form of resource depletion, pollution and greenhouse gas emission, are very important challenges for the socio-economic development. For this reason, the concept of a circular economy has been developed and is being implemented in different areas. In 2015, the European Union adopted the Circular Economy Package consisting of an “EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy”, presenting a set of actions aimed at achieving objectives of the circular economy in Europe. The goal of the paper is to describe and discuss key challenges facing implementation of the concept of the circular economy in the European road transport sector. First, the concept of a circular economy is explained. Then, the European Circular Economy Package is presented, and selected aspects of a circular economy in the transport sector are described. Current and planned actions in the transport sector are discussed in terms of their accuracy and efficiency for achieving a circular economy.
