Subject. This article examines the problem of an enterprise's choice of the optimal way to transform its current business model into one of the types of circular business models. Objectives. The article aims to determine the most expedient way to transform the business model of a light industry enterprise according to economic criteria. Methods. For the study, we used a function modeling methodology (IDEF0) and the cost-benefit analysis. Results. A comparative analysis of the economic parameters of two waste management projects at a light industry enterprise shows that the most expedient is to create a spin-off enterprise to implement the open recycling model (that is, to search for permanent partners to organize the waste processing process at their production base).
Keywords: cyclic economy, business model, transformation, economic efficiency, open recycling
