Environmental Industrial Policy (EIP) as an integral part of the industrial policy aimed at the resource efficiency enhancement at two levels – the level of industrial installation and the regional level. The article shows the correlation between Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental Industrial Policy and Circular Economy goals. Authors focus their analysis on the construction materials industry as one of the resource intensive sectors regulated both by the legislation based on Best Available Techniques (BAT) and carbon-related legislation.
In Russia, BAT concept is seen as an instrument for the industrial resource efficiency enhancement. Environmental Performance Indicators are included in BAT Reference Documents (BREFs) laying a basis for the assessment of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. To optimise two interrelated regulatory systems (BAT and GHG), BATs providing for the high resource efficiency are seen as the top priority for reducing emissions of ordinary pollutants and GHGs as well as and for forming inter-sector links typical for the circular economy.
In the production of cement clinker and glass, it is possible to increase the use of secondary materials and thereby to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions. Decreasing clinker content in cement and applying light concrete lead to decreasing GHG emissions during the life cycle of buildings. Modern glass also provides for minimising heat losses of buildings. In the ceramic sector, such solutions are less evident, but using waste wood leading companies produce hollow bricks with excellent heat-insulating properties. Prioritising resource efficiency, industries should maintain also robust environmental management procedures and apply general binding rules for insignificant pollution sources.
