The transition from a linear economic model to a circular economy (CE) marks a profound change, driving toward better resource management and ecological robustness. Although much previous investigation has concentrated on specific industries, this research takes a broader, multi - sector approach. It delves into how circular economy principles are being incorporated across crucial industries such as textiles, construction, energy, chemical production and agriculture in Uzbekistan. Employing a qualitative research methodology, which involved synthesizing existing literature and scrutinizing policies, the study pinpoints the primary forces driving this change, the obstacles encountered and the connections between different sectors that influence the move toward a circular economy. The results highlight that shared circular practices - like industrial symbiosis, optimizing resource use, adopting renewable energy and developing circular business models - are essential for boosting both environmental sustainability and economic viability. Nevertheless, this transition faces hurdles due to inadequate infrastructure, disjointed governance structures and insufficient skilled personnel, especially within developing nations. Examining Uzbekistan specifically, we observe both growing policy dedication and ongoing structural difficulties, underscoring the need for synchronized governance, investment in green initiatives and robust innovation systems. This work adds to the existing body of knowledge by introducing a conceptual framework that spans multiple sectors. This framework illustrates how industrial systems are interconnected and how these connections contribute to achieving sustainable development goals. Moreover, it offers practical policy suggestions aimed at speeding up circular economy adoptions in Uzbekistan and comparable developing countries.
