CE model is a model of economic development in which, while maintaining the efficiency condition – assumptions regarding the maximization of the added value of raw materials/resources, materials and products or minimizing the amount of waste generated, while managing them in accordance with the hierarchy how to deal with them. The use of CE requires indicators of its functioning that indicate the right course of action. Krakowski Holding Komunalny SA in Kraków (KHK SA) is a model solution of a capital group associating municipal companies and an operator of a large thermal waste treatment installation. Thanks to this, it was possible to gradually develop a CE model at the enterprise and partially urban area level. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the possibilities of implementing the CE strategy in KHK by 2030. The developed methodology allowed to identify the areas of activity within which the flows of mass and energy were defined, both for the sustainable production and consumption planes. The result of the research was the definition of a CE strategy for the company, which identified challenges and barriers to the development of circularity. The challenge for the company is to achieve energy self-sufficiency and to increase the scale of management of waste (residual waste) and natural resources as well as energy towards their recovery and recycling within the production value chain. On the other hand, the barrier is the closing of the circulation and full management of post-production waste and sewage, and the benefits are: obtaining clean energy and heat for the city of Kraków and reducing the pressure on the environment in cooperation with other units of the Municipality of Kraków, the scientific community and the inhabitants of Kraków.
