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.
Comprehensive implementation of the climate agenda and circular economy principles in a large industrial holding. Introduction of CO2 capture and storage technologies, use of UAVs and AI for emissions and safety monitoring, and creation of a closed-loop recycling system for rubber products using pyrolysis.
Integration of sustainable development principles into a transport enterprise by replacing the diesel fleet with electric buses, introducing electronic waybills, and visualizing the waste management system. The practice includes color coding of containers for separate waste collection and greenhouse gas emissions control.
A cascade environmental training system for personnel at a manufacturing enterprise. It includes assessing baseline knowledge via questionnaires, preparing internal trainers, differentiated programs for managers and workers, and using visual tools (luminometers, color identification) to foster a conscious attitude toward waste management.
Implementation of water and waste recycling technologies at a large metallurgical enterprise to transition to a circular economy. Application of wastewater phytoremediation using native plants and biotesting of water bodies to assess real environmental impact.
Integration of environmental goals into the economic model of a large mining and metallurgical enterprise. Transition from qualitative to quantitative and financial assessment of environmental risks, where initiatives are viewed through ROI and production efficiency.
Implementation of the environmental strategy of JSC Russian Railways to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Introduction of an environmental monitoring system, development of renewable energy sources, installation of reverse vending machines for plastic collection, and industrial waste recycling.
Integration of environmental initiatives into the development strategy of a large defense industry enterprise. Implementation of a closed water circulation cycle, abandonment of river water consumption for cooling, localization of gas cleaning systems, as well as the organization of internal environmental audits and personnel education.
The article examines a practical tool for improving the environmental culture of personnel using the example of the Novovoronezh NPP — 'Waste Management Schemes'. This algorithm helps blue-collar workers, office staff, and contractor organizations to clearly understand what types of waste are generated at workplaces and how to properly separate them. Many years of practice show that such an approach facilitates waste sorting by type and increases worker responsibility.
The article clarifies the requirements of environmental legislation and sanitary rules of the Russian Federation for organizing the temporary accumulation of production and consumption waste at enterprises. The material examines the specifics of handling waste of hazard classes I–V, including permissible storage locations and conditions depending on their state of matter, as well as the removal procedure. The publication will help managers, chief engineers, and environmental specialists comply w...
Integration of sustainable development (ESG) principles into the strategy of a major transport company. Implementation of environmental initiatives, including climate projects, green supply chains, and the circular economy, as well as employee engagement in HSE issues using the example of developing women's workwear.
Implementation of an autonomous reagent-free recycled water supply system at remote facilities (gas stations) based on electrochemical coagulation and destruction. The plant purifies domestic wastewater to a quality suitable for reuse in technical needs, reducing water supply and sanitation costs by 80-90%.
Integration of environmental requirements into contract work with contractors at the Novovoronezh NPP. A single end-to-end act of waste generation and transfer was developed, visual waste management schemes were implemented at workplaces, and an environmental risk assessment methodology based on ISO 31000 was adapted.
