The impact of innovation on improving the environmental efficiency of enterprises producing large–scale chemicals

The results of an analysis of the main trends in the development of enterprises producing large–scale polymers are presented. Issues related to the generation and disposal of waste from the production and consumption of polymer products are considered, and certain aspects of the introduction of innovations are analyzed that make it possible to increase the level of environmental safety in the production and use of these products. The influence of innovations on increasing the environmental efficiency of enterprises producing large–scale chemicals has been determined. It has been shown that it is possible to significantly expand the possibilities of recycling, as well as to ensure a reduction in the total negative impact on the environment at all stages of production and consumption of polymer products as a result of the development and application of end–to–end and local recycling technologies. To provide support and financing for the most promising of these recycling technologies, which may cover enterprises of one or more technological stages, it is proposed to consider the possibility of forming inter–industry and sectoral funds. The distribution of resources of these funds, formed primarily at the expense of enterprises, should be carried out taking into account the functioning of the appropriate monitoring system, which allows accumulating information on the degree of negative impact of enterprises on the environment and their need for innovative recycling technologies.
