#Waste management
Industrial waste management and resource-saving economy. Effective waste management is an ecological and economic priority. Experiences in waste minimization, separate collection systems, and recycling investments.
Waste Management Lifecycle Through the Lens of Environmental Safety Culture: A Course Toward Excellence
A systematic approach to waste management and fostering an environmental safety culture at a nuclear power plant. Practices include integrating environmental requirements into procurement procedures for contractors, visualizing waste accumulation points at work areas, and compacting thermal insulation waste using mobile compactors.
Pyrolysis as a Promising Environmental Technology
Implementation of a mobile low-temperature pyrolysis unit for the independent processing of carbon-containing waste (tires, oils, oil-containing waste) at remote construction sites. The technology reduces logistics costs, minimizes emissions (under 0.1 – 0.4 MPC), and yields secondary resources (pyrolysis gas, ash-mineral residue) without requiring a sanitary protection zone.
Subsoil Use Waste. Ecologists vs Geologists
Algorithm for determining the status of rocks and subsoil use waste in accordance with amendments to the Subsoil Law and Federal Law No. 89. The practice includes analyzing project documentation, controlling storage locations, and the targeted use of extracted rock to prevent double accounting and environmental fines.
Current Trends, Regulator's Vector, Changes from 2026
Optimization of environmental payments for negative environmental impact (NEI) amid a multiple increase in rates. The practice includes transitioning from standard calculations to actual ones, detailing waste accounting, automating calculations, and strengthening financial discipline in interaction with supervisory authorities.
Accounts Receivable (Overpayment) in Negative Environmental Impact Fees. Offset? Refund? Forget? Understand? Forgive?
The article is devoted to the issues of set-off and refund of overpayments of fees for negative environmental impact (NVOS), arising from advance payments and a limited statute of limitations. The author analyzes judicial practice, statutory timeframes for Rosprirodnadzor's administrative processes, and options for calculating quarterly advances. The material provides practical advice on choosing the optimal advance payment method, regular reconciliation, and maintaining a payment database to pr...
Yuck, it stinks! How to deal with livestock odors?
Combating unpleasant odors from livestock complexes and meat processing plants requires an individual approach to each source of their occurrence. The article analyzes a practical algorithm of solutions for farm ventilation systems, manure storage sites, and land plots when applying it to the soil. The material shows how, using proven methods, to find a balance between conducting business and the comfort of residents.
Soil Nitrogen Management: How to Tame the "Giant"
A comprehensive environmental risk management system for handling animal by-products (ABP). It includes deep soil plowing, subsurface runoff application using automated pumping stations, and a four-level process control.
A Quiet Feat on the Banks of the Tom River: Why Our Spinning Rod Always Waits Its Turn
The article talks about the tradition of cleaning up the bank of the Tom River before every fishing trip and the harm of household waste to the local ecosystem. The author explains how left-behind plastic poisons water and soil with toxins and leads to the death of fish and birds. The material provides simple rules for responsible behavior in nature that help preserve the cleanliness of the river.
Pyrolysis – A Promising Technology in Ecology
Implementation of low-temperature pyrolysis technology for the disposal of carbon-containing waste (tires, oils, oil-containing materials) at remote construction sites. The project enabled on-site waste processing, the production of secondary resources (pyrolysis fuel, gas, ash-mineral residue), and a significant reduction in logistics costs and third-party contractor services.
Environmental Safety Culture as a Powerful Driver for Improving Waste Management and Conscious Environmental Safety
Integrating environmental safety culture principles into the production waste management system. Implementing environmental requirements in procurement documentation, mandatory development of Work Execution Plans (WEP) by contractors with waste generation schedules, and using visual waste management diagrams at workplaces.
Environmental Risk Management
Transformation of the environmental risk management system at a large metallurgical enterprise, transitioning from reactive violation recording to proactive analysis. The practice involves engaging the production unit by translating environmental deviations into technological and financial risks, and changing the ecologist's role from controller to internal analyst.
Strategy and Tactics
Integrating HSE and environmental goals into the overall business strategy of a food industry company with regular reporting to the management board. Implementing a management system based on ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards, using Yandex Forms to collect near-misses and safety tags, and linking employee career growth to HSE knowledge.
