Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of modern approaches to the subsurface waste management and the integrated development of the mineral resources base, the development of which requires consideration of the environmental, industrial, technological and economic aspects of this issue. The authors of the article note that it is advisable to use such modern management technologies as circular business models, 3R and 5R concepts, as well as logistics methods of waste management for the waste management of enterprises of the mineral resources sector. These technologies make it possible to form an eco-industrial symbiosis, the main object of which is a mining enterprise connected with other symbiosis objects by material flows. The authors are convinced that the successful functioning of eco-industrial symbiosis will lead to the maximum use of subsurface waste, minimization of their storage and disposal volumes, and, ultimately, will contribute to the integrated use of mineral raw materials.
Highlights
The idea of a circular economy focused on the formation of a business system on the principle of “resources obtaining - products manufacturing - waste reuse/recycling” has grown significantly
According to the authors of the article, in the context of the transition to a circular economy, it is advisable for modern subsurface use enterprises to use the circular business models proposed in the report [1]
Even when implementing the 5R concept (Table 2), one can talk about a rather high degree of integrated use of mineral raw materials and solving about 90% of the problems associated with subsurface use waste
Summary
The idea of a circular economy focused on the formation of a business system on the principle of “resources obtaining - products manufacturing - waste reuse/recycling” has grown significantly. Circular economy is a production and economic system that is closed in design and structure and based on the use of non-waste technologies [1]. Among the various types of waste that must be managed, subsurface use wastes are distinguished generated in significant volumes during the operation of enterprises of the mineral resources sector. Continuing to remain the basis for the sustainable development of the Russian economy as a whole, enterprises of the mineral resources sector cause serious environmental and economic damage, polluting the soil, air and water bodies [2]. An analysis of the data of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resource Usage showed that the volume of generated waste production and consumption in the field of mineral extraction is on average 91.4% of the total volume of waste in the country. The share of disposed and neutralized waste did not exceed 52.5% [3]
