Environmental management emerged as a consequence of an unprecedented strain on the Earth by humans. Each our activity leaves a trail, such as pollutions of air and soil, contamination of water, deforestation, and also tons of wastes. We are confronting environmental problems that are more taxing than ever before. Now we have everyday changes of the climate which is why there is an urgent need to find ways of life that is less damaging to the Earth. Waste management is a particular specialization of the environmental management which studies how to achieve a zero-waste life. The difference between the situation with waste in Ukraine compared to other developed countries is the large volume of waste generation and the lack of infrastructure for waste management. At the same time, the availability of such infrastructure is an essential feature of all economies of developed countries. Also, it is showed to increase of the amount of illegal and uncontrolled landfills and to degrade of the condition of existing dumps. This paper is aimed to explain how the Ukrainian government could educate people about problems of wastes and encourage us to change our habits.

Taking into account the current conditions of companies’ transition to remote mode of operation, it is of paramount importance to have a number of tools giving opportunity to assess the readiness of business entities to work with all the contractors remotely. Thus, it is necessary for enterprises and business entities to ensure the digitalization security. The article is devoted to the study of differences between the essence of the concepts «Information Security» and «Security of digitalization», as well as the analysis of enterprises digitalization security level. The authors proposed a method of assessing the enterprise digitalization security level from the standpoint of life cycle theory, which allows to identify signs of the «Information Recession» in its activities. The research methodology involves an integrated analysis of the main enterprise activity aspects at the different stages of its life cycle using an indicator that takes into account the depreciation of intangible assets, namely, computer security, the level of administrative costs and sales costs. Identification of the «Information Recession» conditions and determination of the digitalization security level was carried out by expert methods. Specialists on strategic development of enterprises acted as experts. Experts have eradicated such security levels of digitalization as «normal», «acceptable» and «critical». The method was tested on the materials of the Kryvyi Rih mining enterprises. The obtained results characterize the conditions for identifying the «Information Recession» in the activities of enterprises at such stages of their life cycles as «Formation», «Infancy», «Childhood», «Growth», «Stability» and «Recession». The proposed approach will allow to improve the processes of management automation and to increase the digitalization processes implementation efficiency for industrial enterprises.
