The environmental problem of waste management today is an urgent task for sustainable development in all countries of the world. In this context, responsible production and consumption become one of the main goals of sustainable development. The circular economy model is increasingly recognized as the only solution to the critical situation of natural resource shortage and environmental pollution. Germany, as a developed European country, plays a significant role in international relations. Its successful experience in implementing circular economy principles at the national and federal levels can be useful for the members of the European Union and other countries. The aim of the study is to assess the degree of circular economy implementation in Germany. In the course of the work, the author makes an analysis of the current German legislation on the circular economy; examines the stages of formation, principles of operation and results of development of the waste processing and disposal industry; presents the main indicators of the circular economy implementation. Recommendations for improving Russian legislation taking into account German experience are formulated.
