Introduction. According to Russian state reports on the environment, mining sector in Russia accounts for a significant amount of environmental impact. Research aim is to substantiate a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of using environmentally friendly circular business models in mining enterprises. Research methodology includes the study, critical assessment and systematization of the methods of environmental circular activity results determination in mineral production. Research results. The effectiveness of circular business models is considered as a condition for their application. It consists of ecological, socio-ecological and eco-economic effectiveness, so it can be termed in an integrated manner as the socio-eco-economic effectiveness. Ecological and socioecological types of effectiveness are determined by the prevention, minimization or elimination of environmental and social harm. Considering that environmental and social losses, for well-known reasons, can never get a fair integrated assessment, in practice it is necessary to apply the indicators of ecological and socio-ecological damage, which do not fully reflect the amount of harm caused. The ecoeconomic effectiveness of circular business models is associated with the prevention, minimization or elimination of national economy’s (economy of the country) existing or possible losses (damage) and/or additional costs caused by human impact to the environment in the process of subsurface use. In this case, we are talking about reducing the amount of eco-economic damage. Research results application. The research makes it possible to study and systematize currently proposed methods for assessing the extent of environmentally related damage caused by mining. The methods considered are intended to be applied in assessing the ecological, socio-ecological and eco-economic effectiveness of environmentally friendly circular business models in this field.
Introduction. Enterprises of the mineral resource complex play a significant role in the economy of our country, the development and wealth of which depend on the volume and variety of minerals in the subsurface. At the same time, the activities of enterprises of the mineral resource complex have a significant negative impact on the environment, affecting all its elements. This leads to the need to manage the environmental performance of these enterprises. The aim of this work is to study management technologies that can contribute to closed production cycles creation at enterprises of the mineral complex and real improvement of their environmental performance in terms of implementing the concept of circular economy. The methodology of the research includesthe study, critical evaluation and systematization of technologies for closed production cycles organization and management at enterprises of the mineral resource complex. ISSN 0536-1028 «Известия вузов. Горный журнал», № 6, 2020 85 Research results. The objects of research are such management technologies as: circular business models proposed in the report of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, schemes-hierarchies of waste management with a different composition of R elements, and logistics techniques for managing waste as specific material flows. These technologies are quite consistent with each other and, when applied together, can help to increase the circular economy development index in the conditions of mineral resource complex enterprises. Conclusion. The coordinated development of management technologies contributes to the implementation of a circular economy concept at the enterprises of the mineral resource complex, as well as their movement towards environmentally sustainable development and ensuring competitiveness.
