A Role of the Building Industry in the Development of a Circular Economy of Industrial Regions of Russia

The ecological inferiority of the global linear economy based on uncontrolled consumption of natural resources, growing volumes of production and consumption waste, and the onset of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” causes the transition to a new path of development. This path suggests a new world order based on the principles of a circular economy with a closed life-cycle, which is based on the waste-free production and consumption, and reuse of products. It is impossible to set up a closed production-use-recycling-production cycle within a single enterprise, even if it is large and multifunctional. Therefore, this problem should be solved within an economically developed region by creating a waste processing industry. Therefore, this region is turned into a waste-free industrial complex, where the principles of the circular economy are implemented. Only the building industry, which uses the widest variety of building materials and products, high levels of consumption of raw materials, and, most importantly, a long life-cycle of construction products, can become such a waste-processing industry. It is proposed to create the regional research and production associations called “Vtorstroyresurs”, which include scientific and technological centers and complexes of plants, producing construction materials and their components from waste products of the regional industry.
