Waste management and utilization of waste materials are current and remarkable problems inNordic Countries and, especially, in Russia, In the city of St. Petersburg and Leningrad oblastwaste causes a difficult environmental and health problem because plenty of waste is left tothe environment without relevant handling, As a result, it is obvious that a negativeenvironmental impact will occur to the whole region of Gulf of Finland. It is possible todevelop joint solutions for the waste problems in cooperation between Russian and Finnishparties especially for the regions in the adjacent areas of the border. Increasing of volumesimproves the profitability of waste utilization and makes it easier to execute the necessaryinvestments. This favours the exchange and trade of materials derived and/or refined fromwaste and necessary technologies, between Russian and Finnish actors.T ASIC project "Exchange of secondary raw materials and technology between NorthwestRussia and Southeast Finland" is financing by the European Community, represented by theCommission of the European Communities.

Waste management is still defined as limited to collection, transportation and garbage disposal. The follow-up of the meaning is the provision of facilities such as garbage bins, garbage trucks and waste collection land. Waste management has not included waste separation. Segregation of waste can minimize the amount of waste that must be discharged to the final place. Segregation of waste can supply recyclable raw materials and handicrafts made from garbage. The manufacture of handicraft products from garbage is still local and requires socialization and training. It is needed to increase the number of craftsmen and garbage absorption on the crafters. Through careful socialization and training, citizens' awareness of waste management becomes advanced by making handicrafts of economic value from waste materials.

In this paper, the quality of the municipal waste sorting process in seven waste management centers in Slovenia was assessed using the qualitative multicriteria analysis (MCA) method DEX (Decision EXpert) implemented in DEXi software, which is based on multicriteria decomposition of the problem and utility functions in the form of “if–then” decision rules. The study was based on eight types of secondary raw materials. The quality of the secondary raw materials, the regularity of the delivery of secondary raw materials to recycling units based on the sorting efficiency, and the loading weight of the individual baled fractions in the transport of secondary raw materials for recycling were the main parameters used in the model. The final assessment shows “good” waste management service in centers A and D. Centers B, C, and F were rated “average”. The “bad” rating was assigned to centers E and G.

<p>Landfill management is one of the major issues in the application of sustainable development principles and ecological maintenance of the cities. Promoting their appreciation, and even more preventing for their minimization, are at the heart of many debates within the scientific community, local communities, companies and civil society. The city of Kinshasa is demographically growing much too fast, its capacity to manage the waste produced by 10000000 inhabitants is more than overwhelmed. The question is “WHAT CAN BE DONE?” Today it is acknowledged that these quantities of waste can be fruitfully put to use rather than looking at it simply like at a bothersome, congesting and polluting phenomenon. We have now to consider this above all a “secondary” raw materials resource. The problem is not the amount of waste, but the inability of governments and waste disposal companies to get rid of it. The city of Kinshasa seems today to have a certain disconnection from its environment because of the impacts of human actions these last fifty years. In addition to household refuse and pollution causing an unsanitary environment in most parts of the city, one particularly notes the consequences of uncontrolled urbanization and poor waste management, resulting in widespread insalubrity of the city. The present paper was assessed the situation regarding the urban landfills in Kinshasa by using field evaluation and population questioning.</p>

In the article the analysis of legislative base which regulates references with a waste in Ukraine, and also activity of all authorities involved in this sphere are carried out. In this connection it is necessary to distribute accurately administrative obligations between separate establishments. For qualitative management of a household waste, finances should be provided. Working out and introduction of stimulus is necessary for the use of a waste, as e secondary raw materials in manufacture. In general the, process of implementation in the Ukrainian legislation to the legislation European will partially solve these problems with a waste. Key words: municipal solid waste, waste management, legislative regulates, implementation.

The issues of application of the Territorial scheme of waste management in the Udmurt Republic and legal regulation in the field of municipal waste management from the position of forming a system of separate waste collection are considered. The main focus is on the regulatory and management mechanism for the application of the Territorial scheme from the point of view of the formation of waste processing infrastructure, their use as secondary raw materials and the introduction of waste separation collection. The article analyzes the experience of various countries in minimizing the anthropogenic impact of waste and introducing separate collection with the extraction of secondary raw materials using legal methods. There are "gaps" in the practice of developing and implementing a Territorial scheme as a resource for creating an administrative and legal field for separate waste collection and from the point of view of attracting the processor, as well as from the point of view of forming the ecological culture of the population. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made on the need to include in the points and sections of the scheme, on the example of the Udmurt Republic, mechanisms for implementing separate waste collection, forming an environmental culture of the population and attracting processors as active participants in the MSW management system.

One of the objectives of industrial waste management is to reduce the amount of waste and to ensure its reuse in a way that allows notable improvement of resource efficiency. Location of a waste treatment plant is a strategic issue that require careful logistics system planning. The aim of this article is to create a model for solving the locationallocation problem of waste (i..e. secondary raw materials) treatment facilities, taking into account the territorial distribution, the type, and the quantity of secondary raw materials, the distance between waste-generating industries, as well as the CO 2 emissions from transport of secondary raw materials. The basic principle for defining a mathematical model is minimization of CO emissions from transport-related activities; 2 for this reason, modeling is based on the p median model that has been modified and put within the context of industrial waste management, including CO emissions from 2 transport. The location model is based on common industrial waste streams and CO 2 emissions from vehicles commonly used to transport secondary raw materials from generators to facilities. The verification of the model was performed through a case study that included the region of southeast Serbia. It confirmed usefullness of the proposed model for deciding on optimal locations for new industrial waste treatment plants.

Human life and activities generate municipal solid waste (MSW) consisting of municipal household waste (residential waste), waste from commercial organizations, waste from public institutions and organizations, waste from industrial enterprises, waste from urban maintenance and improvement. A common feature for all these types of waste is the fact that a municipality is an institution responsible for organization, management of its disposal process. Such waste is generated in everyday life, across the food network, when carrying out repair and construction works, in the municipal transport and communication systems, etc. The aim of the work is to assess the current state and possibilities of oversized municipal waste management in the regions of Ukraine. In order to achieve this aim, the study of the existing regulatory documents and existing experience in the field of oversized municipal waste management was conducted. The work is based on the analysis of the published data, as well as on the materials of our own research. The implementation of the MSW management system implies creation of a municipal center for recycling secondary raw materials based on the modular quarterly principle. A recycling station with a mandatory module for oversized waste reception and sorting should become a main structural element of the recycling center. In addition, it is proposed to create separate sites for collecting the oversized waste. This has already been implemented in some cities of Ukraine. When differentiating SMW flows, due attention is not paid to the used cars that can contingently be attributed to oversized secondary raw materials. In Ukraine the existing recycling centers do not meet modern requirements. Due to the lack of necessary experience in handling the used cars, one should turn to foreign experience and focus on the requirements of the developed countries. According to international standards, the life of a car is 10 years with its subsequent utilization in such a way that prevents it from having a negative impact on the environment. Since, as of today, 27% of cars in Ukraine are older than 30 years, so in case of their mandatory utilization, the number of such cars will be approximately 2.5 million. With such total number of used cars each region of Ukraine will need to handle about 100 thousand recyclable cars. It is hardly possible to create the recycling centers in each region, so, at the first stage, it is advisable to organize such centers, for example, in each economic region or cluster. The creation of the oversized municipal waste management system in the regions of Ukraine will make it possible to turn the waste into useful products, to reduce the level of a negative environmental impact and to obtain not only ecological, but also socio-economic effects.

This study examines the situation of energy recovery of packaging waste in Finland,packaging waste utilization in the Russian neighboring areas and the state of operational andbusiness environment of packaging waste recovery development schemes. Wastemanagement and recovery of waste materials carry current and focal problems in Finland andin Russia. Both tightening national environmental legislation under the influence of EUregulations and the need to reclaim wastes have caused the state of change in the wastemanagement field in Finland. In Russia, the situation of reclaiming waste materials is poorerand the recovery rates of waste fractions are low.Finnish energy production facilities seem to have obvious needs for replacing fossil fuels withrenewable energy sources and waste derived fuels given that the quality requirements exist.The situation with exceeding the demand and companies competing for waste derived fuels isalready foreseeable. In the sparsely populated country, the collecting of waste for recovery isalso a matter of feasibility. On the other hand, economic growth, the growing purchasingpower and the supply of consumer goods in Russia, especially in the city of St. Petersburg andLeningrad region close to the Finnish border, have a measurable effect on the volume andcomposition of generated packaging waste, now mainly disposed in landfills.The cooperative Finnish-Russian cross-border recovery of packaging waste is a potentialoption for Finnish and Russian companies to develop their businesses and promote wasterecovery. The biggest challenges in implementing new operations relate to legislativedifferences, foreign license practices and different waste management systems. In this paper,we present a theoretical model of an energy recovery scheme from the perspective of Finnishenergy production facility.

Methods of plastic waste management, the amount of which is constantly growing due to the high demand for polymer products with high performance properties, are considered. The urgency of the problem is explained by longevity of plastic, which, once in the environment, gradually degrades with the formation of substances dangerous to living organisms. The most common ways of plastic waste management are its storage on specially designated land plots or incineration with / without getting heat. Each of these methods has certain disadvantages, which necessitates the introduction of other measures. Recycling of plastic waste into secondary raw materials, energy or products with certain consumer properties can be the promising method of plastic waste management from ecological and economic points of view. The purpose of this work is to analyze the methods of plastic waste recycling, to establish their advantages and disadvantages, to determine the optimal ways for the disposal of polymeric materials with different properties. Two main groups of polymer recycling methods: physical and chemical, are considered. Physical method includes mechanical recycling, which is based on the physical grinding of plastic waste to obtain secondary raw materials without significant changes in the chemical structure of the material. This process is quite simple in terms of technical design, but requires careful sorting and cleaning of waste, and has limitations on the reuse of recycled material. Chemical recycling takes place through the processes of solvolysis (hydrolysis, glycolysis, alcoholysis) and conversion (pyrolysis, gasification). In this case, the plastic waste decomposes into the original molecules – monomers, from which it is possible to get a polymer product with the same properties. Chemical methods allow disposing of unsorted and contaminated polymeric materials many times without losing their quality. Thus, the introduction of the described methods will reduce the amount of plastic waste, turn them into valuable secondary raw materials and reduce using of natural resources used to obtain primary plastic materials.
