This research study aims to investigate the perspectives of the circular economy in Kazakhstan. The research question is based on the necessity to transform from a linear economy to a circular economy, which promotes sustainable production and consumption practices. The study examines the effects of the circular economy in the construction, plastic industry, and recycling sectors. The study draws on international examples of countries that have successfully implemented circular economy principles and the strategies they have used to achieve sustainability goals. In addition, the study presents the results of surveys and interviews conducted with a teacher, students, a civil engineer, and an ecologist, to assess their perspectives on the circular economy in Kazakhstan. The findings suggest that the circular economy has the potential to contribute to the country's sustainable development goals by reducing waste, conserving resources, and improving economic efficiency. The study concludes that there is a need for policymakers, industry leaders, and consumers to adopt circular economy principles and promote sustainable practices in Kazakhstan.
