The article presents a historical review covering the emergence and formation of the circular economy as an independent concept and its relationship with the phenomenon of new industrialization; the variety of interpretations of the concept of "circular economy" (Russian and foreign authors) is considered, the main approaches to its formation are defined. A comparative analysis of the main concepts of the economy of environmentalism (sustainable development, greening, green economy, circular economy) on key features is conducted. The evolutionary development of the forming R-imperatives (principles) of formation of a concept is studied; the features, current status and overall development prospects are described. In conclusion, a refined concept of circular economy is given. The concept of circular economy is a universal way to form green growth in the development of countries, allowing to overcome global environmental problems and, as a result, to achieve a sustainable state of the planet, preserving life on Earth.
