Organizational and economic mechanism of resource conservation for sustainable development: promising directions in the market of polymer materials

In the development of technological sovereignty for Russian manufacturing enterprises related to the high-grade industry (deep multi-stage processing of raw materials), important processes are formation and implementation of a resource-saving strategy as an additional organizational and economic mechanism to ensure business continuity. Against the background of difficult macroeconomic conditions, the Russian manufacturers of certain industries (construction, food, medical, agricultural, and others) are addressing the issues of providing basic raw materials (polymer materials), the market of which is a complex and dynamic system that responds to all political and economic challenges. For manufacturers of the final product, critical issues of rationalizing the use of material resources in the production process are directly related to the supply of basic raw materials (polymer materials) from potential Russian and foreign suppliers, whose activities are influenced by key factors: the cost of oil and gas resources, changes in supply and demand dynamics, an unpredictable increase in logistical costs, the variability of regulatory policy, and improvement of environmental standards, innovative offers. Currently, domestic manufacturers of polymer materials and manufacturersprocessors are faced with problems of import dependence on foreign suppliers of raw materials, lack of supply of individual brands and types of polymers, inefficient tariff and customs regulation, disruption of technological and innovation chains with the world industry leaders. Due to the sanctions, the process of import substitution of certain polymer materials has been launched in Russia, but it requires large-scale investments, cooperation between manufacturers and research organizations, and careful consideration of managerial economic decisions to transform production.
