The Creation

Abstract The article deals with the main issues of municipal and industrial waste management legal regulation. The authors substantiate the idea that waste management entrepreneurs are environmental entrepreneurs, which in turn belong to social entrepreneurship. The relevance of legal research on the regulation of environmental-oriented social entrepreneurship lies in the fact that the system of legal regulation of environmental entrepreneurship has not been formed. Moreover, environmental entrepreneurship is not classified as social entrepreneurship. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the concept according to which entrepreneurial activity in the field of waste recycling and environmental protection should be considered through the prism of social entrepreneurship. The leading approach is dialectics, analysis, synthesis, deduction, formal legal method and comparative legal method. Conclusions: The performed analysis can contribute to the creation of developed environmental-entrepreneurial relations in Russia, which is achieved by building a verified conceptual and categorical apparatus, defining a model of legal regulation. Legislative regulation related to waste management is new, unsystematic, declarative and sometimes contradictory. To implement an effective waste management system, it is necessary to create an open and understandable waste management system, where citizens, legal entities and government bodies will be involved and motivated for its implementation. It is required to exclude the creation of intermediate links, such as regional operators, since their existence only causes a negative reaction from society. Acknowledgments: The reported study was funded by RFBR, project number 20-011-00222.

High obsolescence rate and end-of-life of electronic equipment resulting in high generation of electronic waste remains the biggest challenge with use of ICT in higher institutions. This study evaluated and developed an environmentally sound E-waste management system for higher institutions in Rivers State. The study employed research surveys in data acquisition through questionnaires, interviews and observation. Hypotheses were postulated to test areas of interest. Study indicated that institutions generate a reasonably amount of electronic/ICT wastes that are poorly managed. Desktop computers, printers, laptops, UPSs, old CRT monitors, and printer cartridges are the majority generated and available E-waste in storage in these institutions. Results revealed that the level of awareness on hazardous nature of E-waste among the sampled population was significant. The level awareness on E-waste recycling among sampled population was also significant. There are no accurate records or inventory of ICT equipment procurement and E-waste generation and disposal in the institutions. Policies and programs on source reduction E-waste segregation and handling, facilities for E-waste recovery, recycling and reuse are practically not available in the institutions. The study concluded that there is no proper management and disposal of electronic/ICT waste in higher institutions in Rivers State. Significant numbers of respondents expressed the need for the institutions to establish an integrated electronic/ICT waste recycling center. An Integrated E-waste management system that will not only address the current poor E-waste management practices in the institutions but also achieve environmentally sound management of E-wastes in the institutions has been developed in the study.

Waste Management System

During last few decades, construction and demolition waste has attracted great attention from practitioners and researchers, as well as governments in all over the world. It's obvious that construction and demolition waste and its control is very important in many aspects. In other hand, system dynamics is an empirical tool and waste management system is a dynamic system that needs to be studied and analyzed dynamically so that many misconceptions and problems in this area to be avoided. The main question is how we can manage and control waste management system to have a less amount of negative impacts on the environment and society. In order to answer this main question, this paper tries to represent a conceptual model called “cause and effect diagram” to have a general and typical understanding of waste management system especially in Ardabil city. Next, it represents Stock-Flow diagram that has capability of running in computer for further analyzing. Then, it simulates the model by POWERSIM software to analyze and optimize the dynamic model. The study indicated that increasing values of the variables including fines for illegal dumping, unit cost of landfilling, unit cost of collecting, unit cost of transportation and also developing waste management sites has implications of a low illegal waste dumping and a high amount of waste recycling and reuse.

Municipal Waste Management

Municipal waste management has been an area of special interest for the European Commission (EC) for many years, especially in the transformation process towards a circular economy (CE), which is a priority of the European Union’s (EU’s) economic policy. This paper presents the overview of the Polish waste management system (WMS) and the CE-related tasks indicated in the Polish CE Roadmap. Despite the fact that Poland is one of the countries that generates the least waste per capita (329 kg in 2018) in the EU (489 kg), it still has problems with adapting the levels of municipal waste recycling to European requirements (34.3% in 2018, EU average 47%), which result from the lack of sufficient infrastructure for waste management and the insufficiently developed public awareness and behaviors. The current paper presents an inventory of the recommended actions, which support transformation towards CE in municipal waste management. These actions have been grouped into six core principles of circularity, indicated in the ReSOLVE framework: Regenerate, Share, Optimize, Loop, Virtualize, and Exchange. In each of presented areas, recommended tasks and actions were identified that should be taken by governments and residents themselves, such as landfill remediation, use of selected municipal waste fractions for economic purposes, sharing products with co-users, waste recovery, remanufacturing products or components, virtual solutions in everyday life to reduce the amount of generated waste, or replacement of household appliances by items with a higher energy class. An implementation of specific actions indicated in the paper could positively influence transformation towards CE in Poland. Because the presented examples of actions are model solutions, they can also be used in other countries and regions.

The article deals with the current problems of reforming the MSW management system in Russia, starting in 2019. The Russian Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for the legal regulation of waste reform. Russian Environmental Operator (REO) was created for organizational management. Methods of analysis of documents and secondary data were used to get acquainted with the experience of reforming the waste management system. The analysis was carried out at both the federal and regional levels. An institutional and functional analysis of the subjects of waste management in Russia is presented. The planned indicators of the garbage reform are defined - utilization up to 36% and processing up to 60. The analysis at the regional level is carried out on the example of several subjects of the Russian Federation: Moscow, the Moscow Region, the Republic of Tatarstan, the Primorsky Territory, the Kaliningrad Region. Having carefully analyzed the documents, the authors identified the main problems of the reform, such as the imperfection of the legislative framework and the lack of funding for the creation of an appropriate infrastructure.

During the recent decades, the world has seen ongoing economic and technological development which resulted in the generation of huge volumes of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste). In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ranks among countries with large e-waste generation due to its consumers’ high spending on electronic devices thereby resulting in a high obsolescence rate in the country. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the e-waste management and recycling practices in the UAE. It takes Dubai as a case study and conducts a structured questionnaire to analyze households’ awareness, consumption of electronic devices in general and mobile phones in particular, and the disposal behavior of e-waste. Waste mobile phones is taken as a key representative in this study, in which potential waste mobile phones is estimated using the Approximation 1 method in the period 2021–2030. Results from the survey illustrated gaps among households’ awareness and disposal behavior of e-waste, where e-waste recycling rates were noticed to be low. Based on these gaps, strategies were proposed for an effective e-waste management system in the context of Dubai, and were supported by the proposal of an e-waste legislation framework in the UAE.
