The article considers the solutions related to the formation and use of production and consumption wastes at the enterprises of the mineral resources complex. Particular attention is paid to production waste in the form of solid mineral waste (man-made mineral deposits), which, on the one hand, represents a secondary mineral resource base, on the other hand - has a significant negative impact on various elements of the environment. The research aim is to form a logistics system of waste management at the enterprises of the mineral resources complex. The scientific novelty lies in the application of logistic principles, approaches and methods to the sphere of production and consumer waste management during the formation of a large amount of production waste. The article substantiates the importance of the formation and functioning of a logistics system of waste management at enterprises of the mineral resources complex. This logistic system can increase the level of organizational security and economic efficiency of managing production and consumption waste and thereby mitigate the environmental and economic problems of these enterprises.
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
