The assessment of ecological and economic recycling effi ciency of secondary building resources: status quo, challenges and solutions

The article identifies the main features and current trends in the process of recycling secondary construction resources during the transition from a linear model of the economy to a closed-cycle economy. The study indicates the need to start recycling secondary construction resources from the period of pre-investment studies, acceptance and approval of the investment project till the termination of the project and the decommissioning of the object. The author suggests to upgrade the methodological approach to a comprehensive assessment of ecological and economic efficiency of investments in recycling secondary construction resources, taking into account current views on the functioning of natural and socio-economic systems and ensuring a balanced account of environmental and socio-economic factors. The effectiveness assessment rests on the ideas of human security, preventing negative consequences of nature management and restoration of disturbed natural ecosystems. In assessing environmental damages and effects, special attention is given to analyzing the nature and extent of possible changes in the state of the main components of natural environment. The analysis concludes with practical testing of the proposed methodological approach to assessing investment efficiency in recycling secondary construction resources.
