As of today, the principle of zero-waste production is not only a global trend, but also an effective mechanism for protecting and preserving the environment, as well as making fuller use of the resource potential of enterprises. The main idea of zero-waste manufacturing is the transformation of raw materials received by the enterprise, its residues, as well as waste obtained in the production process, into finished products that can generate income. In this regard, modern companies are making the transition from a linear to a circular economy in order to preserve the ecosystems of our planet. This transition is characterized by waste-free production as well as maximum use of raw materials and production capacity. Such an important step will not only save our planet and ultimately ourselves, but will also bring in the profits that companies simply lose by destroying waste. Ukraine lags far behind European countries in the field of waste management, and the volume of waste generated, the state of landfills and dumps indicate extreme risks to the environment and the population. Inefficient waste management in Ukraine is, in particular, a consequence of the existing linear economic model. Thus, the issue of developing zero-waste technologies and effective implementation of zero-waste manufacturing at Ukrainian enterprises, in particular with the involvement of European experience, becomes extremely important. Accordingly, the article analyzes the essence, key principles and principles of zero-waste manufacturing in the domestic and European areas in order to adopt the best experience of the EU, which is currently a leader in this aspect in the world. The key aspects, principles and features of zero-waste manufacturing were analyzed, as well as successful European and domestic practices of its application were demonstrated. These findings will be useful for individual domestic enterprises, industries, the country and civil society as a whole.

Abstrak            Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan nilai ekonomi dengan pemanfaatan limbah kelapa sawit menuju Zero Waste Production.  Satu hektar kelapa sawit, setiap tahunnya menghasilkan 25 ton tandan buah segar (TBS) padahal yang menjadi minyak dan inti sawit hanya sekitar 25%, dengan demikian 19 ton dari TBS akan menjadi limbah. Dengan semakin gencarnya isu lingkungan maka diperlukan pemanfaatan dan pengendalian limbah industri kelapa sawit yang ramah lingkungan agar dapat memberikan nilai tambah dan mengurangi biaya yang pada akhirnya memberikan keuntungan bagi berbagai pihak, baik pihak perkebunan, pabrik, masyarakat dan lingkungan. Konsep 3R (Reuse, Recyle dan Recovery) akan mendorong setiap penghasil limbah untuk menjadikan limbahnya memiliki nilai ekonomis dan menguragi biaya. Pemanfaatan limbah kelapa sawit dapat mengurangi biaya produksi listrik, briket arang, bahan baku pulp, pakan ternak, dan menghemat biaya pupuk. Kata kunci : nilai ekonomi, pemanfaatan, limbah, isu lingkungan, konsep 3R                      (Reuse, Recyle  dan Recovery)  Abstract             This paper aims to outline the economic value of the use of palm oil waste towards Zero Waste Production. One hectare of oil palm, annually produce 25 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), whereas the oil and palm kernel only about 25%, so 19 tonnes of FFB would be a waste. With the developed environmental issues will require the use and control of industrial waste environmentally friendly palm oil in order to provide added value and reduce costs, which in turn provide benefits to various parties, both the plantations, factories, communities and the environment. The concept of 3R (Reuse, Recycle and Recovery) will encourage each waste generator to make the waste has economic value and reduces costs. Utilization of oil palm waste can reduce the production cost of electricity, charcoal, pulp raw materials, animal feed, and saves the cost of fertilizer. Keywords: economic value, utilization, waste, environmental issues, the concept                  of 3R (Reuse, Recycle and Recovery)

The goal of mentioned contribution is to moderate the unwanted effects of economics on environment in the form of more purposed economy with material sources from recycling, collection, separation and processing of returnable products. It is a global trend nowadays to lower waste production and to minimize effects on the environment. We are going to deal with effectiveness of partly underground containers in Slovakia and new trends about possibilities of other uses of PET bottles. The article deals with the analysis of whether the level of waste management services is at the required level due to the wide range of services provided within reverse logistics. Article’s output is created model of reverse logistics and subsequently analysis of cost effectiveness considering economic aspects entering into the reverse model has been made during its use.

Subject. The article considers the concept of circular economy, which has originated relatively recently in the academic literature, and is now increasingly recognized in many countries at the national level. In the European Union, the transition to circular economy is viewed as an opportunity to improve competitiveness of the European Union, protect businesses from resource shortages and fluctuating prices for raw materials and supplies, and a way to increase employment and innovation. Objectives. The aim of the study is to analyze the incentives developed by the European Commission for moving to circular economy, and to assess their effectiveness on the basis of statistical analysis. Methods. I employ general scientific methods of research. Results. The analysis of the EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy enabled to conclude that the results of the recent research in circular economy barriers, eco-innovation, technology and infrastructure were successfully integrated into the framework of this document. Understanding the root causes holding back the circular economy development and the balanced combination of economic and administrative incentives strengthened the Action Plan, and it contributed to the circular economy development in the EU. Conclusions. The measures to stimulate the development of the circular economy proposed in the European Action Plan can be viewed as a prototype for designing similar strategies in other countries, including Russia. Meanwhile, a more detailed analysis of barriers to the circular economy at the level of individual countries and regions is needed.

The problem associated with the household behavior on solid waste disposal site in today�s society is complex because of the large quantity and diverse nature of the wastes. Due increase the population, rapid development, global agricultural development has moved rapidly, limitations of financing, emerging limitations of both energy and raw materials and also add to the complexity of any waste management system, large quantities of wastes are being generated in different forms such as solid, liquid and gases. This research explored factors affecting the level of participation in solid waste segregation and recycling of households in Romania, as well as examining current Romania households waste management practices and their knowledge of waste management. This study investigated the solid waste situation and the organization of solid waste management in both urban and rural settings from the perspective of households. Solid waste management is a key component of public services which needs to serve the urban and rural municipalities in an efficient way in order to maintain a decent standard of public health.

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.

Nowadays, circular economy (CE) is on the agenda, however, this concept of closed supply chains originated in the 1960s. The current growing quantity of studies in this area accounts for different discourses except the holistic one, which mixes both approaches—contextual and operating (contextual approach utilizes the thorough examination of the CE theory, stricture of the policy, etc.; the operating one uses any kind of statistical data)—to assess the capacity of circular economy regulatory policy packages (CERPP) in operating raw materials and industrial wastes. This article demonstrates new guidelines for assessing the degree level of capacity (DLC) of CERPPs in the operation of raw materials and industrial wastes by utilizing the apparatus of the fuzzy set theory. It scrupulously surveys current CERPPs in three regions: the EU overall, Finland and Russia; and assesses for eight regions—the EU overall, Finland, Russia, China, Greece, France, the Netherlands and South Korea—the DLC of CERPPs in operating raw materials and industrial wastes. The results show that EU is the best in CE policy and its CERPP is 3R. The following are South Korea and China with the same type of CERPP. Finland, France and the Netherlands have worse results than EU with the type of CERPP called “integrated waste management” because of the absence of a waste hierarchy (reduce, recover, recycle). Russia closes the list with the type of CERPP “basic waste management”.

Solid waste management is the process of collecting and treating solid wastes. It also offers solutions for recycling items that do not belong to garbage or trash. Reducing and eliminating the adverse impact of waste materials on human health and the environment supports economic development. Quality of life is the primary goal of solid waste management. To ensure environmental best practices, content or hazard potential and solid waste must be managed systematically, and it is needed to be incorporated into ecological planning. This study aimed to assess Bonbon, Clarin, Bohol residents towards the proper implementation of solid waste management. The quantitative-descriptive method of research was used with the aid of a modified standardized survey questionnaire. The data showed that mothers or married respondents aged 21-30 got the highest percentage. Therefore, it shows that they are the ones primarily in charge of household waste management. The Assessment of the implementation of Solid Waste Management was conducted per dimension: Planning and Control, Zero Waste Collection Service, and Waste Disposal System. According to the results, the dimension of Planning and Control was labeled as Strongly Implemented, Zero Waste Collection Service was marked as Moderately Implemented, and Waste Disposal System was categorized as Moderately Not Implemented. Therefore, it shows that the Solid Waste Management in Bonbon, Clarin, Bohol was moderately implemented. Thus, the study's outcome served as a guide to enhance their best practices for the full implementation and sustainability of solid waste management in their locality.

The construction industry consumes a substantial amount of raw materials in its processes and the output is obviously the product and most importantly the waste material. Other than that, the construction industry is well known as one of the worst environmental polluters. This study is to determine the use of waste minimisation technique in creating sustainable waste management in order to identify the technique which has the most capabilities to reduce on-site waste. The objective of this study is to assess the waste minimization techniques taken from the 4R concept (which includes reduce, reuse, recycle and recovery techniques) in minimizing the waste in construction waste management. The most used waste minimization technique found in the 4R concept would be waste reduction. This shows that the local construction industry has the knowledge necessary to plan out the waste management processes but the implementation is still far from satisfying. Additionally, the findings reveal that because the industry is profit-driven, construction practitioners are motivated by profit to adapt to this techniques.
