摘要：The paper considers the fundamentals of formation and realization of the modern Russianstate environmental policy in the Arctic and analyzes environmental threats and challenges, includingthe impact of the mining and metallurgical complex on the environment. Coal industry and ferrous andnonferrous metallurgy are considered to be major producers and accumulators of waste. In the smeltingof metals slags are formed, which are based on oxides. Sulfur oxides occupy one of the first placesaccording to their negative impact on the environment. The present paper considers environmentallyresponsible business models in the Arctic, when the priority in management decisions is given to theissues of preserving nature and not just making profit. The main environmental issue is associated withthe accumulation of waste in the places of concentration of objects of industry, transport, energy andsocial sphere in the confined spaces in those areas of the Arctic, where mineral deposits are exploited,raw materials are processed and transported. The industrial processing of secondary resources andrecycling of sulfur in accordance with the principles of green production (recycling) are of specialscientific interest. The authors propose the following innovative methods for solving the problems ofecological modernization in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation: utilization of sulfur-containingwaste, recycling of technogenic wastes; the paper also analyzes operational and physical-mechanicalproperties of sulfur-extended asphalt concrete and sulfur concrete, and the possibilities of production ofa new generation of building materials and road surfaces. High consumer properties of sulfur-containingconstruction materials – low cost of raw materials, workability of sulfur concrete and mortar mixes, fastdevelopment of strength, resistance to radiation and other aggressive environments, high frost and waterresistance – make them competitive with traditional building materials that often cannot withstandthe difficult climatic conditions of the North. The use of sulfur-containing waste in various economicsectors in the Arctic zone will significantly reduce the cost of products and designs and will contributeto the solution of one of the most important tasks of our time – protection of the environment fromindustrial pollution.
