Abstrakt: This study is devoted to the principles and results of the development of the infrastructure for transforming Russian industry towards better resource efficiency and environmental performance. To support transition of the national economy (and first of all - industry) to more sustainable mode of operation, the concept of Best Available Techniques (BAT) is used. Russian environmental industrial policy includes two inter-related directions, namely: (1) implementation of Best Available Techniques and BAT-driven enhancement of resource efficiency and (2) return of secondary resources into the economic turnover. The infrastructure being built to implement the Environmental Industrial Policy is presented as a five-layer structure including (1) regulated community and authorities enforcing environmental and resource efficiency related legislation; (2) research bodies and training institutions developing new technological processes and technical solutions, working out economic rationale for transferring the national economy towards more sustainable development; (3) Russian BAT Bureau coordinating development of Reference Documents on Best Available Techniques (BREFs) and national standards and supporting collaboration of interested authorities; (4) the system of national BAT standards forming the methodological basis for working out BREFs, implementing BATs and achieving BAT-Associated Emission and Performance Levels; and (5) national laws, Government decrees and ordinances and BREFs setting requirements to the resource efficiency and environmental performance of Russian industries. The infrastructure is being continually developed using national and international experience and providing opportunities for gradually moving Russian economy towards better circularity and sustainability.
