A distinctive feature of this unique publication consists in the creative approach to the matter, which is exhibited in everything beginning in the title in which the concepts of "ecology" and "industry" are, by definition, mutually exclusive and co-exist within the limits of the dilemma. Upon connecting them with conjunctive "and", the Journal became a conductor of ideas of the inevitable compromise within the limits of determining the consensus of sustainable development, support, and propagation of nature protection and resource saving technologies, an active participant in the course of ecological world outlook formation.
