Solutions to minimise waste formation at machine-building enterprises

Abstract

The world is striving to create a cyclical economy, which implies multiple use of production waste. In this regard, the problem of waste production, generation and recycling requires an effective solution. Unfortunately, the average level of waste recycling in Russia is about 52%. To improve this indicator, it is necessary to introduce the principles of resource saving into production, to use the most efficient technologies of waste recycling, to apply the principles of eco-design in the development of new products, etc. One of the large-scale types of waste generated at machine-building enterprises can be metal chips contaminated with oil products. The article considers the methods of chip recycling used at machine-building enterprises and chooses the method that allows to improve the quality of remelted metal and reduce environmental pollution.
