Ecologization and problems of modern civilization

Abstract

The development of the productive forces of individual regions of Russia at the present stage determines the relevance of problems associated not only with obtaining the maximum return from the employed economic potential in its full extent, but also with the prospects for the integrated and rational use of mineral, raw materials and fuel and energy resources, and the use of new management methods, improving the mechanism of organization and production management. At the same time, the pace of development of the latter is still low, and the comprehensiveness of the use of mineral raw materials is still insufficient. In such a situation, it is necessary to justify the most effective ways of developing sectors of the mineral raw materials complex, the products of which are used both in the corresponding processing industries and for the expansion and modernization of the economy. It should be noted that greening the economy through the transition from technogenic to sustainable development will provide the opportunity for significant savings and release of a large volume of raw materials, and will also reduce environmental pollution and the amount of waste while increasing the final results. For example, combining several processes in the production of gasoline in one distillation column can help save raw materials and improve the environmental friendliness of oil refining due to reduced waste. Despite the identified reserves of various types of minerals, ultimately, they are limited, as a result of which the most rational way to ensure the progressive sustainable development of society is resource conservation.
