Abstract Production of refuse derived fuel from municipal solid waste in future shall play a strategic role in an integrated waste management system. The amount of landfilled biodegradable materials thus will be diminished according to provisions of the 1999 Waste Landfill Directive. The aim of this article is to evaluate cost effectiveness based on cost evaluation of the different complication of the waste pre-treatment equipment complectation and based on regenerable waste quantities in Latvia. The comparison of cost estimates is done in 3 scenarios considering potential waste quantities in Latvia: Scenario I - planned annual waste quantity is 20 kT; Scenario II - 40 kT and Scenario III - 160 kT. An increase in amount of waste and processing capacity means the decrease in costs of mechanical pre-treatment of 1 ton of waste. Thus, costs of mechanical sorting line under different scenarios with capacities of 10 t h-1, 20 t h-1 and 80 t h-1 are EUR 32 per t, EUR 24 per t and EUR 15 per t, respectively. Most feasible cost for a set of mechanical pre-treatment equipment for the capacity of 10 t h-1 is EUR 32 per t by using rotating drum screener with the following manual sorting. Mechanical pre-treatment equipment of unsorted municipal waste is economically nonbeneficial, when the use of fine (biologically degradable) fraction is not possible. As the sorting of biodegradable kitchen waste is not developed under the current waste management system in Latvia, the lines for mechanical pre-treatment of household waste would be better to install in landfills.

This article outlines the problem of waste accumulation as well as the associated environmental consequences in Ukraine due to the disparities between waste generation and utilization capacities. The analysis of quantitative parameters of waste generation sources and the territorial structure of Ukraine’s utilization capacities was carried out, and the spatial assessment of waste management system balance within regions was made. The work also identifies stages of territorially balanced management systems formation within the scope of current recycling technologies in the regional dimension. Methodological approaches to researching the balance conditions of waste management systems at the regional level are substantiated, which presupposes a mathematical model of these processes through the development of a system of equations, which depending on the tasks determine either the timing of the outlined phases of solving waste management issues based on available investment resources, or the amount of funds required to ensure proper timing of the innovative disposal facilities commissioning.

Nowadays due to increasing population the communities have also increased several times. Due to this the amount of waste generated has also increased. Proper management systems although available in metropolitan cities are generally missing from towns and villages. Therefore a proper management is required to tackle problems with waste dumping systems in those areas. Out of several available ways we in this project are dealing the above mentioned problem with the help of web based management system which would help in maintain schedule and lodging complaints regarding the waste collection from the houses that belong to these underprivileged communities. This system is developed using React Js and asynchronous scripting with javascript at backend to ensure efficient working of servers and interaction with database. With the help of this project the process of waste collection will monitored and managed very efficiently by the waste management units of the local government in India.

The Moment

The waste is a product of everyday human activities, and we are faced with large amounts of waste daily. Inadequate method of waste treatment effects are numerous: pollution of the environment and hazards to human health, the loss of useful components from waste, or the exploitation and consumption of natural resources. In the XXI century the sustainable management of municipal waste will become essential in all stages, from planning to construction, handling, recycling and final decomposition. Range of new and existing technologies for waste treatment and waste management strategies require the maintenance of environmental quality at the moment, but also the fulfillment of sustainability in the future.Integrated waste management should meet certain priorities in line with the waste hierarchy, such as requirements for recycling waste, to increase the use of renewable energy in order to looking for more socially acceptable options, and to preserve biodiversity and natural ecosystems simultaneously. Achieving these goals is possible only if all technical and non-technical aspects of solid waste management system are analyzed as a whole, because they are interrelated, and development in one area often influences the practice or activity in another area.Various analytical tools and methods are used to help in decision making in waste management systems. Analytical methods used in the waste management system can be classified into two groups: engineering models and models of assessment system.

The cluster analysis of the regions of Ukraine by economic, environmental and social indicators characterizing regional economic development and development of the waste management system is carried out in the paper. Three groups of regions characterized by similar features are identified. The average values of the studied indicators by separate clusters are determined. It was established, for example, that the regions from the first cluster are characterized by a low level of the waste management system development, in the regions from the second group modern technologies of waste management is more actively introducing in comparison with other regions. Discriminant analysis was conducted. The results of the analysis show that regions are differentiated mostly by five indicators: average tariff for waste management for the population, financing of waste management system, area of landfills and damps, amount of waste collection per capita, the rate of waste recycling sector development. The developed model determines the distribution of regions into groups with an accuracy of 100% at the significance level p <0.005. Classification discriminatory functions were obtained for groups of regions. The indicators influenced the distribution of regions into clusters are established. The results of the analysis highlight the irregularity of regional waste management systems development. The cluster approach allows classifying regions of Ukraine according to complex of indicators. Differentiated strategies for improving the waste management system at regional level as well as comprehensive ratings of the regional waste management systems development could be developed on the basis of such analysis. Keywords: municipal solid waste, regional development, waste management system, cluster analysis, discriminant analysis.

Purpose of the study: The municipal waste management system covers all activities related to waste, and its organization is a mandatory task of the local government. The system is financed by income from fees paid by property owners in the commune and should be balanced. The aim of the paper is to assess the functioning of waste management systems in selected cities in Poland, in terms of their self-financing. Methodology: The comparative analysis covered the revenues and expenses related to municipal waste management systems as well as the fee rates in 2020. In some cases, the change of the phenomenon over time was analyzed. Main findings: In seven out of ten analyzed cities, the system was deficient, while the other ones generated a surplus, which could result from an increase in the fee rates. Compared to other cities, high rates do not cause a surplus of the system, an example of which is Łódź. The presented data, concerning the last two or three years, are insufficient to explain clearly what is behind the shortages of municipal waste management systems. Application of the study: The content of the paper may be useful for local government practitioners and other people dealing with the effectiveness of municipal finance. Originality/Novelty of the study: The municipal waste management system in communes, described in the paper, is used in Poland since 2013 and is still being modificated. There are no studies on its effectiveness and efficiency. The presented data may inspire to a deeper analysis, which should be subjected to the financial efficiency of municipal waste management systems in the time perspective.

Landfilling of organic waste is still the predominant waste management method in Canada. Data collection and analysis of the waste were done for the case study city of Montréal in Canada. A life cycle assessment was carried out for the current and proposed waste management system using the IWM-2 software. Using life cycle assessment results, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm was used to optimize the waste flows. The optimization showed that the current recovery ratio of organic waste of 23% in 2017 could be increased to 100% recovery of food waste. Also, recycling could be doubled, and landfilling halved. The objective functions were minimizing the total energy consumption and CO2eq emissions as well as the total cost in the waste management system. By using a three-objective optimization algorithm, the optimized waste flow for Montréal results in 2% of waste (14.7 kt) to anaerobic digestion (AD), 7% (66.3 kt) to compost, 32% (295 kt) to recycling, 1% (8.5 kt) to incineration, and 58% (543 kt) to landfill.

Capacities of Cipayung landfill (final processing) has exceeded capacity. The composition of organic waste is the most dominant waste composition. This study aims to assess the critical flow of municipal solid waste management system in the Cipayung landfill thus be predicted or estimated improvement of waste management system in the landfill Cipayung. The research method using MFA STAN software for a period of one year beginning in 2017 until 2018. The results of this study are critical flow of waste management systems are in the process of sorting and empowerment are still done manually, so the impact on increasing the amount of garbage residue will be dumped in Cipayung landfill. Waste composition which includes the critical flow is organic waste, plastic, paper, glass and aluminum. All materials that are at a critical flow still can be empowered using mechanical sorting machines garbage. Management recommendation is to apply the technology of recycling, composting and RDF feedstock. The government should establish cooperation with the private sector to process waste into resources that extend the life of landfill serviceability. Through optimization scenario 1, the critical flow of waste management systems can be improved with a reduction of more than 50% of the waste to be dumped into landfill Cipayung.

The objective of this article is generalization of theoretical and applied approaches to the formation of the waste management system. Based on the systems-oriented analysis of the concept of sustainable development in the context of Eurointegration strategy of Ukraine, it substantiates the need for the formation of an effective national ecological policy, one of the main tasks of which is to minimize industrial and domestic waste. Methodology. Based on the analysis of the results of leading scientists pertaining to the formation of the waste management systems, the the provision is concluded that the increase in the volumes of waste closely correlates with the growth rate of the national GDP and, at the same time, even with the most advanced technologies it is impossible to prevent waste generation. However, the high level of generation is, first of all, the result of ineffective use of natural resources in the production processes. The article substantiates that under present day conditions, the theoretical and methodological foundation of the study of waste management must become the principles of sustainable development. This predetermines the need for taking into consideration not only the existing expenses for waste disposal or utilization, but also losses of the future generations resulting from the effects of waste on the environment components and human health when taking managerial decisions. Results. It has been established that the need for minimization of industrial waste is determined by the fact that the the pace of consumption of resources by human society and waste generation is not balanced; in addition, there is no necessity in using natural resources so extensively. Changes in the machinery, distribution system, legislation allow to minimize the volumes of waste essentially, thus preserving the quality of life on the planet. The article provides in-detail analysis of the EU countries’ experience in the sphere of formation of waste management systems, hierarchy formed within the EU as to the priorities of the approaches to the management of the processes of minimization of industrial and domestic waste. It has been established that the strategic goals of waste management in the EU are minimization of the volumes of waste formation by way of prevention of their formation, use of waste in the production processes, reduction to the minimum the quantity of waste placed in the landfills. Practical implications. There is conducted the analysis of the features of functioning of waste management system and its goals, hich allows to use experience of the developed nations in resolving the problem of waste more effectively, specify the role of state administration in the achievement of the Goals of sustainable development by 2030 in reduction of industrial and domestic waste. Value/originality. Application of system analysis permits to identify the main problems of the formation of waste management system taking into account the specific character of its functioning under modern conditions.

Introduction. The overall situation in the field of waste management in Ukraine is extremely difficult, which is explained by the lack of preventive resource conservation and environmental protection policies, as well as the lack of financing of measures aimed at eliminating the negative consequences resulting from the increasing generation of waste. In particular, due to insufficient financing of landfill contents: there are violations of the schedules of their sanitary cleaning, which leads to the formation of spontaneous landfills in the territories of residential development, especially in rural areas; there are cases of chaotic accumulation of waste that is not compacted and not filled with soil; most landfills and the surrounding area have a terrible look. The general state of waste in Ukraine highlights the urgency and seriousness  of the problem of domestic and industrial waste management. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role and disclosure of the peculiarities of the transport and logistics component of waste management strategies in the context of implementing resource-saving and environmental policy in Ukraine. Results. As a result of the research it is determined that the reform of the waste management system is necessary, which envisages solving of such key organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of realization of resource saving and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. The organizational and economic directions of waste management reform are: effective implementation of separate waste collection; construction of new landfills and waste treatment plants; information and institutional support for issues related to waste management; economically justified tariff formation ; stabilization of the finance industry through the introduction of a system of fines for violating legislation, in particular, on the separate collection of waste and the transfer of funds received to the development of the industry, investments provided by state guarantees on the return of capital invested by the investor. Conclusions. At present the reform of the waste management system is necessary by means of solving a series of interrelated organizational, economic and managerial tasks in the context of implementation of resource conservation and environmental protection policy in Ukraine. In particular, it is about the need for financial stabilization of the industry, the expediency of strengthening regulatory instruments and, at the same time, motivational instruments, etc. Based on the analysis of the relationship between these objectives and the objectives of environmental policy, in particular in the field of transport and logistics, as well as the content and constituents of waste management strategies in Ukraine, it was concluded that there is a need for an integrated approach to determine the role and place of transport-logistic component.
