RESOURCE CONSERVATION IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract

Resource conservation in industrial enterprises is a critical component of sustainable development and environmental stewardship. With increasing global demand for raw materials and energy, industries face the challenge of optimizing resource use while minimizing waste and environmental impact. This paper explores the theoretical foundations, assessment methodologies, and practical strategies for resource conservation in industrial enterprises. Emphasis is placed on integrating circular economy principles, technological innovation, and strategic management to enhance resource efficiency. Case studies and models such as the Integrated Resource plus Principles Matrix (IRPM) illustrate effective approaches to reducing resource consumption and waste generation. The findings underscore the importance of adopting comprehensive resource-saving practices to achieve economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
