"MACHINES WITH BIOLOGICAL BLOCKS" OF THE FUTURE ECOTECHNOSPHERE

 

Annotation. The article examines the potential technological foundation for a nature-like ecotechnosphere of the future. The necessity of transitioning from a technosphere with a linear flow of matter to an ecotechnosphere built on the basis of the key principle of nature-likeness – the closed circulation of matter – is shown. As a first step toward the ecotechnosphere of the future, the formation of a circular bioeconomy is possible, a concept that is already being developed by scientists. The most suitable technical solutions for implementing a bioeconomy with a closed resource cycle can be considered installations containing the "living matter" of the biosphere – various organisms for which optimal conditions for vital activity are created. Examples of such "machines with biological blocks" developed for the utilization of gaseous, liquid, and solid waste are given. The possible potential for the development of the bioeconomy and its role for the future of humanity is shown.

Keywords: technosphere, ecotechnosphere, nature-like, bioeconomics, «living matter», waste, and bio-utilization of ash and slag.
