Annotation: The article describes the problem of production and consumption waste getting into the environment, which deteriorate its quality significantly. This task is multifaceted, and its solution requires systematic approach. Analysis of the waste accumulation process indicates their significant quantitative growth and the necessity to take more effective actions for their disposal. Certain opportunities for solving the issues under consideration are provided by “green” technologies and cyclical economic models, which have been introduced into practice by a number of countries and have already largely revealed the hidden potential of these resources. In order to revise the approaches to this problem, it is necessary to change its very vision and consider it from the point of view of secondary production resources, on the basis of which new efficient productions can be created. Particular attention in the work is paid to the waste related to the agricultural sector (AS). The article presents the most promising areas for secondary resources recycling. Conclusions are made about the need for a radical change in views on the production of consumer goods (using the example of the AS) and the creation of an industry infrastructure for the rapid exchange and trade in secondary raw materials.

Annotation: This study examines the impact of global economic trends on Russian online retail networks and offers strategic insights for retailers. Through qualitative analysis of secondary data, including scientific literature and industry reports, key trends such as economic growth rates, trade policies, technological advances, and consumer behavior are investigated. The analysis shows that global economic fluctuations, trade policies, and technological innova- tions have a significant impact on Russian online retail. Opportunities for retailers include expanding into new markets and utilizing advanced technology. However, threats such as competition and supply chain disruptions need to be investigated thoroughly. Case studies of successful retailers provide valuable insights into effective strategies for adapting to global trends. These studies conclude with recommendations for Russian online retail- ers to improve their competitiveness. These recommendations include the introduction of advanced technologies, better understanding of consumer behavior, and addressing regulatory issues. Further research could explore specific trends or industries within the Russian online retail market.

Annotation: The essence of a sustainable infrastructure project is defined as a project aimed at creating durable infrastructure facilities that are generated taking into account the ability to eliminate or reduce the adverse environmental, social and economic consequences of the project. It’s justified that in conditions of the existing investment gap, limited op- portunities for public financing, economic recession, climate crisis and social contradictions, the implementation of sustainable infrastructure projects through public-private partnership (PPP) contracts is of particular importance. The realization of such projects makes it possible to increase the volume, quality and accessibility of public goods for all groups of the population while ensuring favorable results in the format of sustainable development. It’s concluded that PPP represents an effective tool for achieving sustainable development goals and compliance with the ESG criteria in the infrastructure. The features of the creation and fulfillment of sustainable infrastructure projects PPP, external and internal environmental factors that stimulate their scale and success in the modern Russian economy are revealed.

Annotation: The article describes the intricate and multifaceted energy cooperation between Russia and China, using the Power of Siberia project as a case study. The author analyses the strategic partnership that results from combin- ing Russian energy resources with China’s consumption market. On the basis of a comprehensive examination of economic and political factors, the key elements that contribute to enhancing energy security and promoting economic growth in both nations are revealed. At the same time, the challenges and risks associated with such collaboration are highlighted, including the potential political instability and increased dependence. The results of the study show that in order to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize risks, careful strategic planning and flexible management of international relations are necessary. The author provides several recommendations for enhancing the energy partnership, such as diversifying energy routes and promoting joint technological innova- tion. As a conclusion, it is highlighted that successful Russian-Chinese energy collaboration has the potential to serve as a model for other international energy collaborations, contributing to global stability and prosperity.
