GREENING OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION: APPROACHES AND PRINCIPLES

Abstract

This article explores the genesis and dialectics of industrial greening as a complex paradigm that emerged in response to global environmental challenges. The aim of the study is to analyze the evolution of the theoretical foundations and practical mechanisms for the transition to sustainable industrial systems. The study utilizes comparative and dialectical analysis. A historical review reveals the dialectical nature of the process: industry, a source of environmental imbalances, is becoming the primary agent for overcoming them through technological and institutional innovation. A comparative analysis of key complementary concepts (green economy, closed-loop economy, low-carbon development) that form the theoretical foundation of contemporary greening is provided. Approaches to environmental regulation in countries with varying socio-economic conditions (USA, EU, Japan, China, Russia) are examined, revealing a general trend toward a synthesis of strict regulations and economic incentives while maintaining national specifics. Particular attention is paid to the development of the Russian regulatory framework, particularly in the field of the circular economy. The study concludes that the strategic success of industrial greening is determined by the ability to synthesize global theoretical and practical developments with adaptive solutions that take into account the national context in order to achieve a symbiosis of economic dynamics and environmental balance.
