Качественное и количественное истощение природных ресурсов и способы его уменьшения

Abstract

The problem of depletion of natural resources is aggravated by the increase in the world's population and, as a result, the growing demand for resources. The purpose of the study is to analyze the features of the process of qualitative and quantitative depletion of natural resources and ways to reduce it. In this study, general scientific research methods were used: analysis, analogy, classification, synthesis and generalization of research materials. The main factors of resource depletion are the increasing population; high per capita consumption; low resource efficiency, which also lead to rising pollution and environmental degradation. To prevent further depletion of scarce resources, several approaches are identified: full development of the resources field's, integrated use of all valuable components of raw materials; implementation of alternative energy sources; restoration of a number of renewable resources.
