This study aims to develop a scientifically grounded model to support the cross-border integration of national waste recycling infrastructures into a unified, regionally coordinated circular economy framework in advance of the 2026 Regional Environmental Summit. A mixed-methods research approach was used, combining comparative institutional and legal analysis, SWOT assessment, and qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews with experts from four Central Asian countries.Keywords
