Abstract
This article is dedicated to studying the economic benefits of the waste-free production concept in industrial enterprises. Zero Waste Production system increases economic efficiency through efficient use of resources, reduction of energy consumption and minimization of waste. The article analyzes international experience and the impact of waste-free technologies on cost, resource saving, and additional sources of income using the example of Uzbekistan's industry. The research methodology used life cycle analysis, cost-benefit analysis, regression model, and benchmarkin The results show that a waste-free production system reduces costs in the short term, lowers costs in the medium term, and increases sustainable competitiveness in the long term.
