Abstract

The article (prepared by combining an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach of interested social sciences with the application of analytical methods) follows the current issues of implementing circular technologies in security contexts using the example of the Czech Republic. It points out the reduction of environmental risks and, at the same time, within the framework of the requirements of diversification and decentralization, draws attention to the possibilities of partially strengthening the energy security of the state through the use of waste as a renewable resource. The established economic policy of the state for the implementation of circular technologies is in line with the calls to fulfil the interrelated environmental, economic and security goals of NATO, the European Union and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
