“…RM safety is mainly about availability, and RM is more important in the present time than in the past. In addition, the European Union put RM safety among priorities [58][59][60]. This cannot be limited or disadvantaged by aspects of non-effective or improper decisions of member states, especially states that do not have a direct impact on their RM base and that deform RM base by tendentious opinions to the RM base and use.…”

The interactions between the indicators of sustainable regional development due to the exploitation of raw material deposits in the Slovak Republic are the starting point for effective raw material management. The primary objective of the study is to point out the interactions of explicitly defined indicators of raw material deposits exploitation, which have an overall impact on sustainable development in the Slovak Republic. Based on the development tendencies of selected social, economic, and environmental indicators, the article defines individual indicators that create the potential for further sustainable development. For an effective evaluation of all the indicators, the analytic hierarchy process was used for the identification of the priorities of the indicators. Based on all the relevant factors and previous experience, and results of the conducted analysis, 14 positive and 14 negative indicators were identified. Based on the complex evaluation of raw material in the process of sustainable development in the Slovak Republic, negative factors were prevailing over the positive ones by a scoring rate of 0.90, and the total impact was identified as average profitability of sustainable development support. Accepting all the principles of sustainable development, a model of effective evaluation of raw material deposits and management of raw material exploitation in regional sustainable development of the Slovak Republic based on the quantification of their interactions was developed.

The relevance of the decision of this scientific research is related to the requirements of Industry 4.0. orientated to environmental sustainability. This article summarizes the scientific discussion on the issue of the comparison of environmental costs in various divisions such as Slovakia, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, China. The main goal of this article is to compare costs in divisions of the parent company with different geographical working. The object of the research was the parent company EMBRACO. Methods of research were focused on using economic analysis with indicators of the cost function, chain index, and cost structure. The results of the research show environmental costs of the divisions are at the level of €1.9-€3.1 million. The total state of the environmental costs by individual country represents the lowest value in Italy and Slovakia. The lowest environmental costs are for the category of air costs for all divisions and the second category of costs with low values are other environmental costs, while Brazil and Mexico do not record this category of costs in the accounting. The key category for minimizing environmental costs is water costs for Slovakia and China and other waste costs for Italy, Brazil, and Mexico. The hazardous waste category represents (0.9-32%). Based on these results, the parent company can decide on the possibilities of positioning its divisions in terms of strategic business.

“…Prioritizing the recovery of waste over landfilling, which is only a temporary solution, plays an important role in determining the further technological processing of raw material waste. The main goal is to choose a method of recovery that does not endanger people and does not burden the environment (water, soil, air) [25,26].…”

Intelligent Designing and Increasing the Variability of Healthy Residential Buildings by Customizing Recycled Polyvinyl Butyral

et al. 2021

Healthy residential buildings represent the future of construction concerned with the environment, which is increasingly emphasized. This is directly related to the research and development of environmentally friendly building materials, which on the one hand meet the specific requirements of the builder, and on the other hand do not harm the environment. The research is based on the possibility of achieving increased variability in healthy residential buildings via the customization of recycled polyvinyl butyral using smart technologies for sustainable design. This study has two sub-goals; the first and foremost is the development and adaptation of recycled polyvinyl butyral to increase the elevation of the healthy residential buildings. The second objective is to design a methodology, and create databases and intelligent designs, via knowledge and building information modeling (BIM) technologies. In future research, data on environmental materials (such as the abovementioned recycled polyvinyl butyral) should be implemented in the knowledge databases that will be methodically described in our second sub-target.
