Although the concept of circular economy as a term was first mentioned in 2015, when "Action Plan for economy" adopted at European level, it is still not possible to speak sufficient knowledge base this area. The Action (COM (2015) 614) can be seen an initial strategic document that sets out concrete and ambitious roadmap implementing Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. However, Green Agreement cannot left context either (COM(2019) 640).

Abstract Assessing the eco‐efficiency of municipalities regarding provision solid waste services is a useful tool for improving its sustainability. However, robust, and reliable methods are needed to benchmark performance municipalities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) typically used assess municipal (MSW) service providers. variables in assessment bear distinct weights each individual unit, limiting thus interpretation. Therefore, benchmarking MSW providers becomes challenging because different conditions applied. Thus, this study uses common set DEA (DEA‐CSW) model providing services. Eco‐efficiency scores were estimated by integrating total costs, recycled unsorted as input, desirable outputs undesirable outputs, respectively. The empirical application demonstrated that when using DEA‐CSW, only one municipality (out 36) was eco‐efficient managing MSW. weightings inputs allocated based on degree satisfaction municipality. Satisfaction ranged from 0.829 1.000 indicating none heavily penalized estimation allocating weights. In conclusion, demonstrates compared traditional models, DEA‐CSW approach more adequate at

This study aims to compare the within framework selected Central East European countries. To achieve this, research employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Fractional Regression Analysis, specifically using Slack-Based Measurement model. model measures by referencing inefficient Decision-Making Units (DMUs) rather than origin of coordinate system. Key variables such as GDP per capita, growth rate, indicators were analyzed Eurostat data from 2010 2022.
