FORMATION OF AN INTERREGIONAL ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARK AS AN EXEMPLARY PILOT PROJECT TO ACHIEVE ECONOMIC SUSBTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
Purpose: to analyze the possibility of creating eco-industrial parks as an instrument of environmental industrial policy implementation using an example of an interregional eco-industrial park in the Cisuralian area. Discussion: the article discusses the perspective of implementing environmental industrial policy of the Russian Federation by means of forming eco-industrial parks (EIP). An argument is presented for a connection of EIP with already implemented environmental industrial policy, i.e. best available techniques. A concept of forming an EIP in the Cisuralian area is provided as an example. Global experience of EIP or industrial symbiosis is examined (China, Japan, United Kingdom, Finland). Results: it is demonstrated that EIPs are capable of playing a major part in implementation of environmental industrial policy. Formation of an interregional EIP will allow to improve economic and social integration of regions and to facilitate achieving the goals of the Russian Federation’s strategic planning and sustainable development goals.
