. Enterprises of the mineral resource complex play a significant role in the economy of our country, the development and wealth of which depend on the volume and variety of minerals in the subsurface. At the same time, the activities of enterprises of the mineral resource complex have a significant negative impact on the environment, affecting all its elements. This leads to the need to manage the environmental performance of these enterprises. The aim of this work is to study management technologies that can contribute to closed production cycles creation at enterprises of the mineral complex and real improvement of their environmental performance in terms of implementing the concept of circular economy. The methodology of the research includesthe study, critical evaluation and systematization of technologies for closed production cycles organization and management at enterprises of the mineral resource complex. ISSN 0536-1028 «Известия вузов. Горный журнал», № 6, 2020 85 Research results. The objects of research are such management technologies as: circular business models proposed in the report of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, schemes-hierarchies of waste management with a different composition of R elements, and logistics techniques for managing waste as specific material flows. These technologies are quite consistent with each other and, when applied together, can help to increase the circular economy development index in the conditions of mineral resource complex enterprises. Conclusion. The coordinated development of management technologies contributes to the implementation of a circular economy concept at the enterprises of the mineral resource complex, as well as their movement towards environmentally sustainable development and ensuring competitiveness.
