The general trend of the global social-economic development is increasing the role of resources and select it to a separate system, what is the basis of formation of a competitive, efficient and economical management. The problem of rational use of resources and resources conservation is especially important for Ukraine and requires solutions. This is due to extremely high level of material and energy intensity of the national economy, a significant depreciation of fixed assets and obsolete technologies  unsustainable use of natural resources, high dependence on imports of energy resources, significant volumes of waste and emissions production. It is impossible to further economic and social development of the country without transition to more effective model of social production and consumption, rationalizing the use of resources and solution the environmental problems.

Over the last years Ukraine has made significant progress in the study of natural resources has accumulated a great actual information about the volumes, accommodation and properties of individual types and fields, the experience of economic use, the regularities of their territorial organization. However, not yet fully solution of methodological and methodical problems of resource and environmental management and restoration of natural resources.

The structural feature of the resource takes different forms depending on the types of natural resources-consumable and resources of environment. The more natural resources are being used, the more economical should treat their operation, especially if we are talking about non-renewable energy resources. Despite the fact that the number of explored mineral increases in general, per capita, there is a danger of depletion even before the transition to the use of new energy sources. The more society is experiencing an increasing shortage of renewable natural resources. Therefore, rational use and reproduction of national resources is one of the most actual problems of humanity. Near with the global problem of environmental protection and rational use of natural resources has a distinct regional character and plays a special role in the intensification of acceleration of scientific-technical progress.

The saving is progressive towards the use of natural resource potential, which conserves natural resources and increase production with the same amount of used raw materials, fuel, basic and auxiliary materials.

The main strategic direction of the resource can be reduced to the following: integrated use of mineral and fuel resources, the introduction of resource-saving equipment and technologies, wide use in the manufacturing industries of secondary raw materials, stabilization of the land fund, the soil fertility, reclamation of waste pits, ect., effective regulation of forest management, maintaining forest productivity, active reforestation, conservation of recreational resources in the sitting of new industrial facilities.

Complex use of mineral and fuel resources provides an opportunity to increase the number of industrial raw materials. The scale of production and processing of raw materials and fuel reach such dimensions that even a relatively small content of those components is of great economic importance. In general, complex development of all areas of resource gives you a possibility to form a new ideology of management. It is based on effective use of the available resource base optimal ratio of primary and secondary resources and low-use production cycle.

An important way of saving natural resources is the introduction of resource-saving equipment and technologies. The reduction of material and energy intensity of production is equivalent to growth of used raw materials and fuel. The formation of an effective mechanism of secondary resources and attraction of foreign investment is a very promising direction of development of the economy.

The introduction of new technologies and the use of secondary raw materials in industry will not only increase the production and save arrays of natural resources. Resource conservation is to ensure that growth benefits of production with stable material costs. The decision of the regional environmental problems and ensure effective environmental management and resource require bringing production and use of natural resources of Ukraine to the optimal. It is necessary to transform the structure of labor.

The formation of active investment activity in the sphere of development and resource conservation, low-and non-waste technology and use of raw materials it is very important now.
