For the last couple of years the Republic of Serbia adopted the basic postulates of waste management compliant with EU experiences. Waste management system involves a set of measures and activities aimed at waste quantities reduction, its reuse, appropriate waste handling and hygienic disposal of the remaining waste. All the mentioned processes, within the waste management system, have been defined by strategic and planning documents adopted at the state level. The strategic and planning documents come from primary legislation and from a series of by-laws adopted in the last three to four years. This paper provides a strategic approach to waste management planning by way of the analysis of documents and policies and the analysis of the current situation of municipal waste and special waste streams management. Specific guidelines have been recommended i.e. the prospects of waste management have been analyzed taking into account the current level of development, on the one side, and the necessity of regarding the standards and principles of sustainable waste management in accordance with EU experiences, on the other side.

Thailand covers an area of 513,120 km2 and is located in the southern region of the continent of Asia. The total population was around 67.2 million in 2016. With increasing population growth, city expansion and rapid industrialization, generated 27.37 tonnes of waste in 2017. Thailand government has recognized problems associated with solid, hazardous, and electronic waste generation and issued policies/regulations to support the waste management system. Initiatives such as roadmap for municipal and hazardous waste, national master plan on cleaner production and cleaner technology, and national integrated e-waste management strategy have been introduced to improve the waste management system. However, there are many issues preventing the implementation of a successful waste management system in Thailand. Society has suffered from waste mismanagement because of lack of awareness and realistically applicable technology. There are also weaknesses in the processes of public participation, policy implementation, and institutional support.

Introduction. The problem of solid household waste management, analyzed in the context of sustainable development, is relevant both in Russia and worldwide. On the one hand, it deals with vast legitimate and illegitimate landfills, polluting the environment. On the other hand, it deals with the depletion of natural resources and the potential usability of latent reserves of recyclable waste. It is inefficient to accumulate mixed waste and build recycling capacities, since they are accompanied by atmospheric pollutions. Separate collection of waste has a great potential. According to the estimates, Russia’s waste management system will move to a new level when local waste management companies come into operation. This new level will ensure environmental protection and higher standards of living. However, the intersectoral problem of separate waste collection cannot be solved by local waste management operators. This problem deals with urban development patterns and urban economies of the RF subjects, as well as the Russian industries, that use recyclable materials. Materials and methods. The co-authors have applied the system analysis of the research literature, statistical data and regulatory documents, as well as process modeling. Results. The co-authors have analyzed the engineering model of separate waste collection, implemented by residents of multi-family homes within the framework of the “nature – economic activities – nature” pattern. The accumulation of hazardous and oversized waste is organized as the separate subsystems of the waste management system implemented by the residents of a multi-family home. Conclusions. The co-authors propose to modify the system of household waste management to prevent the over-accumulation of substantial amounts of mixed household waste in waste containers near residential houses and in waste collection rooms. The introduction of ecologically friendly innovations is needed at each stage of the life cycle of any product.

Solid waste management is a very important part to be done including in the religious tourism park because cleanliness reflect purity. This study aims to plan solid waste management system in the religious tourism park in Indonesia, especially in Gunungpring park tomb. Solid waste management planning is determined by sampling and measuring for eight consecutive days. The solid waste management system is planned to cover storage, collection and transportation as well as processing solid waste facilities named TPS 3 R and transportation of the residue. Based on the sampling result and the measurement of solid waste generation, it is known that the average amount of solid waste is about 0.14 kg or 0.3 liter per person per day. While the composition consists of 49.84%, 29.53% and 20.63% respectively for recyclable, compostable and disposable waste. Storage at Gunungpring Religious Tourism Park need to be installed in five locations with three types of containers, while collection used motorcycle cart with capacity of 84 liters. In order to obtain optimum results, a planning and designing the TPS 3 R installation is necessary and finally the disposable waste transportation was design to obtain the method and intensity of disposal and size of dump truck.

Abstract Waste accumulation leads to pollution of atmospheric air, soil, surface water and groundwater. Russian waste management practice is storage in landfills and dumps, and incineration in specialised plants. Today the percentage of recycling is low. In this article we analyse foreign experience of Asian countries on separate waste collection (China). Introduction of information technologies and encouragement of citizens for separate waste collection - a basis of system of the waste management in the People’s Republic of China. The current situation and identified problems in the Republic of Buryatia show the necessity of separate waste collection. We proposed the ways of reorganization of the waste management system, its development directions and also highlighted its socio-economic and environmental effects.

The article presents the first steps to create a waste management system taken By the government of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as an analysis of the work and activities aimed at the need for separate collection of waste, including an assessment of the significance of the involvement of the population by the end of 2019. After evaluating the results of the activities carried out in 2019, it should be concluded that the practice of separate waste collection has significantly advanced among the population and that the Republic's manufacturing enterprises are interested in creating eco-packaging materials.

This work describes the waste management system developed at the Laboratory of Limnology of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The initial challenge was to identify and treat a great variety of wastes generated in the analytical procedures performed in the laboratory. Since many of the students and researchers are not chemists, an intensive training was performed during the establishment of the management system. After three years, there was a deep change of attitude of the professionals involved. The present experience may be useful for other laboratories with a profile similar to the one under study.

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.
