Summary/Abstract: It is obvious now that there are no inexhaustible resources. It can be easilyseen that the wind or sun energy is inexhaustible, but still there are limits to it. Harmonizing humanneeds with nature’s possibilities as well as optimal use of limited resources is on the agenda now.The use of natural resources involves revising, rethinking of the industrial vector as well as reevaluating the industrial/post-industrial development policy and the location of enterprises, thedevelopment of cutting-edge, intelligent, environmentally-friendly technologies, estimation of losseswith the help of in-depth calculations. The objectives are to reduce technological pressure, toreprieve the natural and human potential, to recycle waste, to make more efficient use of resources,etc. The practical significance of the research can be seen in the obtained results, which can beused in the development of industrial-economic policies on the national level. Ecologicaltechnology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, new materials, IT and ICT are gradually transformingthe entire industry, the society, human resources by increasing efficiency, reducing waste intensity,optimizing energy sources. The relevance of new economic areas is not high, but their growth isaccelerating. Efficient and equitable distribution of resources must correlate with real productiongrowth. As aggregate demand is driven by aggregate expenses, the latter need to be increased toensure full use of increased volume of resources. The results obtained allow to assess the factorsand consequences that degrade resources and the living environment. The directions of theimplementation of the state policy for the improvement of ecological status are highlighted.
