The article aims to determine the most expedient way to transform the business model of a light industry enterprise according to economic criteria. Methods. For the study, we used a function modeling methodology (IDEF0) and the cost-benefit analysis. Results. A comparative analysis of the economic parameters of two waste management projects at a light industry enterprise shows that the most expedient is to create a spin-off enterprise to implement the open recycling model (that is, to search for permanent partners to organize the waste processing process at their production base).
