Concept of closed-loop economy in mining waste management in the Krasnodar Krai: Technological and institutional aspects

The soundness and completeness of utilization of resources, as well as the indicators of resourceand energy-efficiency are conditioned by the closed-loop economy. The data on the mineral resources in the Krasnodar Kari, and on the volumes of accumulation and processing of mining industry waste in the region are given. The main types of mining waste, their location sites and occupied areas are described in terms of the Novorossiysk Industrial Agglomeration. The methods of reclamation of overburden and low-grade marl dumps are recommended, and the ways of waste processing and utilization are identified. The role of a circular waste management system in the closed-loop economy in the mining industry is described. The institutional obstacles connected with the regulatory and legal framework, and limiting circulation of mineral mining waste of hazard class V between subsoil users and other parties of interest are revealed. The basic principles of the closed-loop economy in the mining industry waste management in the Krasnodar Krai are: reduction and elimination of waste, and introduction of waste in the circular economy. The federal and regional regulatory and legal framework should make possible management of subsoil use waste of hazard class V by other parties of interest toward more effective and sustainable cooperation between the mining industry and other industrial branches in the region. Effective shaping of the closed-loop economy in the Krasnodar Krai should integrate business entities from the mining industry, agriculture and construction, alongside with creation of symbiotic industrial clusters engaged in waste management in the region.
