Some Аspects of Solving the Problem of Meat Production Waste

Introduction. The article notes that one of the reasons for the insufficiently effective work with waste from meat industry manufacturing enterprises is the lack of systemic information on the ways of an eco-balanced approach when increasing production, the disunity and fragmentation of information on innovations in waste processing technologies, and a comprehensive review of the combined scientific information is proposed. The purpose of the article was to combine scientific information on the state and prospects of meat production in Russia over the past five years 2019-2023, to identify promising innovations in solving waste recycling issues. To create a comprehensive thematic review of some aspects of waste recycling based on the analysis of modern scientific publications of Russian and foreign authors.. Methods and Materials. Using the descriptive method, according to the keywords of the thematic area of ​​the article ("meat processing waste, meat waste processing technologies, meat production, meat consumption"), 113 scientific sources with a review depth from 2012 to 2024 were selected. Using the apperception method, 74 sources were selected from the Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Central databases, Google Scholar, EBSCO search engines, Elsevier, eLibrary.Ru, cyberleninka.ru, ORCID platforms, ResearchGate, AGRIS portals for a detailed study. Results. Rosstat statistical data on meat production and consumption in the Russian Federation for the last five years from 2019 to 2023 were obtained, volumes were analyzed, and the industry development trend was shown using graphical visualization. A direct link between the increase in meat production and waste generation was noted, and the lack of a systemic information field for meat processing enterprises on innovations and modern waste recycling technologies was indicated. The data were systematized and a comprehensive review of modern Russian and foreign scientific publications on modern waste management practices was presented. Conclusions. Statistical and forecast data on the increasing dynamics of meat production in Russia allowed to focus the attention of representatives of the meat industry on the corresponding increase in waste generated, the processing of which, in many respects, has not been solved. The proposed digest of modern Russian and foreign waste processing technologies allowed to combine disparate information, assess the reality of application in the conditions of specific production, made it possible to work out management decisions on waste recycling based on an eco-balanced approach.
