Introduction of innovative technologies - a factor in the development of the waste management industry in Russia

Abstract

In recent years, many countries experiencing the global financial and economic downturn have been actively searching for new models of development. Creating a waste management industry in Russia is another sector of the “green economy” that can solve not only the country’s environmental problems, but also can create new points of growth, create new jobs and ensure economic growth. Eco-technoparks (there are about 300 such parks in the world today) should become the basis of the waste management industry. Foreign and Russian experience in the operation of eco-technoparks allows us to identify certain regularities and success factors for their activities, and to promote the growth of the number of eco-technoparks. The waste management industry is now also becoming a driver of the digital economy. At the same time, the process of digitalization of the waste management industry is a real opportunity to move to a differentiated system of payment for municipal waste management services, and, accordingly, the opportunity to solve the industry’s problems. In order to develop the waste management industry, it is necessary to define the concept of eco-technoparks and secondary resources as an important condition for providing state support to eco-technoparks. The article gives the author’s definition of eco-technology parks.
