| Summary: | The article is aimed at studying and developing measures of ecological-economic efficiency of coal industry enterprises in using secondary resources. It was stated that the majority of the State-owned coal mining enterprises are unprofitable. The reasons for this are high cost of production, reduction of coal production, outdated mine fund, prices for sold coal, which are much lower than the self-cost. It is noted that despite the decrease in coal production, the economic activity of coal mining enterprises has a significant negative impact on the environment. The structure of coal waste storage is analyzed and its impact on ecology and human health is identified. It is concluded that the main reserve for improving the efficiency of coal enterprises and reducing the negative impact on the environment is the use of coal waste as a secondary raw material. The foreign experience on the use of secondary coal raw materials for production of building materials (ecological bricks, highways), aluminium, etc. is analyzed. It is proposed to introduce these measures in Ukrainian coal enterprises with the purpose of Improvement of ecological-economic efficiency of the coal enterprises’ activities. |
