Importance Currently, artificial waste pollute and contaminate oceans, seas and coastal areas, being one of the most critical environmental challenges.
Objectives The research identifies how Russian businesses can handle marine debris on the basis of the best foreign practices for preserving marine flora and fauna.
Methods The research substantiates marine waste recycling on the basis of data on pollution of oceans, seas and coastal areas, and analyzes methods for using marine waste as the basis for environmental entrepreneurship in global practices.
Results We analyzed key areas for using ocean debris in production, and methods for their recycling in developed countries. Companies strive to increase the environmental culture of the public, deepen their understanding of the need to protect the environment and encourage relevant entrepreneurship, rather than attracting more consumers to products only.
Conclusions and Relevance Considering the ubiquitous nature of marine waste, marine waste are examined so to get reliable information on the pollution of oceans, seas and coastal areas of nearby countries. Such researchers and their methodology rely upon the UN Environment Program (UNEP) Regional Seas. The private sector should develop new pathways for utilizing the collected waste.

Keywords: environmental entrepreneurship, marine waste, environmental protection, natural resource management, waste recycling
