Sažetak
the latest research on circular economy development in the european uni- on were primarily directed towards the advantages of implementation of such model which are most commonly presented as environmental and economic. this paper analyzes the circular economy discourse from a different point of view, one that focuses on human health as crucial element. In line with that, the paper will answer two questions; how did priorities and discourses within the legislative framework in the european union had changed, and how to raise awareness of main actors to adapt their behaviour and actions towards en- vironmental norms. the paper uses text and discourse analysis by which the current literature and documents of the european union will be addressed, primarily the eu packages on circualr economy, 2015 action Plan and newly adopted directives. also, comparative method is used for comparison of „old“ and „new“ directives and discourses between the European union and China. The last method used is interview conducted with Davor Škrlec, former Member of European Parliament and member of Greens/European Free alliance political group. the results have shown that each new package on circular economy was more precise regarding quality but the proclaimed goals were alligned with implementation capacities of member states. thus, a new discourse on circular economy was formed but in order it to be systematically implemented there is a need to emphasize human health as its main priority.
