Ecological engineering as a way to reduce industrial waste

The annually increasing volume of human consumption entails a constant increase in the volume of consumption waste and industrial waste as a result of the need to meet the growing demand. The commodity dependence of the Russian economy only aggravates this problem, since the mining industry is the main source of industrial waste generation. The share of recycled waste tends to decrease, and the share of waste disposed in the territories owned by enterprises is growing. One of the modern methods for solving environmental problems is ecological engineering, which promotes environmentally friendly decision-making and is accompanied by the development of environmental programs as part of industrial enterprise engineering, which, along with increasing the production efficiency and performance, reduce the generation of harmful and hazardous waste. Therefore, in order to achieve production goals, it is necessary to identify the needs of target markets and ensure that demand for them is met through the use of more efficient, cost efficient and environmentally friendly means of production.
