Aspects of innovation strategy for industrial waste management

From year to year Russia's territory is subjected to emission of wastes from different industries: energy, construction, transport, defense, agriculture and utilities. In addition, the environmental risks associated with environmental pollution, the causes of which are related to the natural resource, technology, urban development and other human activities are steadily increasing at present. Environmental risks constantly spring up in Russia because of irregularities in the operation of the main and infield pipelines, industrial restructuring, placing environmentally hazardous industries by foreign investors, worsening of the technological state of hydropower facilities, unauthorized waste disposal, etc. However, the main problem of environmental risk in Russia could become a possibility to locate foreign firms' hazardous industries and the introduction of environmentally dangerous technologies. The problem of collecting, recording, processing, recycling of household and industrial waste is the main objective for the protection of the environment in all republics and regions of our country. The analysis of experience of modern research in the area of waste utilization and treatment has shown the expedience of waste processing and in some cases development of new mechanisms of industrial waste management, including the sphere of insurance connected with scientific and technological progress and innovation, with investments to energy, metallurgy, chemical industry, and to areas of activity that could be potentially dangerous for natural resources and the environment (transport, pipelines, construction, landfills and facilities for processing and storage of production and consumption waste). In the thesis, the scientists from Moscow State University of Civil Engineering carry out implementation of innovation methods of waste management for nature management logs either in Russia or in other countries. The authors believe that such research is very promising and can positively influence the waste management strategy both at the national and the regional levels.
