Consumption Waste

This paper aims to create an image of progress towards circular economy registered by European Union countries through specific indicators. In this way, this paper is based on the study and analysis of the 13 indicators, grouped on 4 pillars: Production and consumption, Waste management, Secondary raw materials, Competitiveness and innovation. After the presentation of the methodology, the paper develops an analysis in time and space of the selected indicators, then an analysis of the countries with their grouping on clusters, creating a map of them and highlighting the current situation of circular economy in the European Union. Moreover, the paper also presents the evolution of the countries regarding circular economy, which has a big importance taking into account that in the European Union the preoccupations for this concept is higher from one period to another. Among the most interesting results are: (1) a massive concentration of countries with problems for Waste management pillar; (2) Europe is one of the regions with the largest contribution in terms of circular economy, but the concept is developing differently from one country to another; (3) The scoreboard evolution is particularly useful in revealing the continuous actions adopted by countries in order to facilitate the conversion to circular economy. Finally, the paper presents possible limits of the research, but also future directions of its development.

Subject. We focus on activation of activities at the regional economy level to transform the linear model of production and consumption waste management into the most rational and environmentally sustainable cyclical model. Objectives. The aim is to develop a cyclical model for the rational organization of activities in the field of production and consumption waste management to reduce the volume of disposal to zero in the foreseeable future. Methods. The study employs methods of economic and statistical analysis and methods of project management theory. Results. The study presents a methodological approach to the organization and financing of rational and environmentally sustainable activities at the level of the Federal subject in the field of waste management, based on a cyclical model. To build the model, the following principles are used: consistency, complexity of basic elements, cyclical actions of progressive and recurrent nature, industry characteristics, constructive interaction of the State, business, banks and the population to reduce the impact on the environment. Conclusions. The implementation of the "Management of Production and Consumption Waste Based on the Principles of a Cyclical Model" regional project will enable to solve the problem of environmental pollution of territories, including the solid municipal waste. The project success is determined by the extent, to which the waste management sector of the regional economy is knowledge-intensive, technologically advanced, and financially secure to reduce the environmental impact in terms of adherence to the carbon neutrality policy.

The paper reflects the nature of the main technological measures that are carried out at specialized enterprises (sites) for processing waste disposal of self-propelled machines in the agro-industrial complex. Waste generation occurs at all stages of the life cycle. The product life cycle includes a number of stages, each of which involves the use of specific types of work, in the course of which there are production and consumption waste (hereinafter — waste). Considering the full life cycle of the machine, it should be understood that the production stage of the machine can last for a long time. But the time characteristic of making a particular machine at this stage will be equal to the time interval associated with making a particular instance of the machine.

Algae tests are widely used due to the availability of cultivation conditions and high reproducibility. Freshwater and marine algae are used to estimate the toxicity of drinking, natural and wastewater, water extracts from soils, sewage sludge and production and consumption waste. The presence of dissolved organic matter in the samples, stimulating the growth of algae and the intensity of chlorophyll fluorescence, can significantly affect the result of algae tests, and therefore on the decision on the presence or absence of a toxic effect. When choosing algae as a test culture to determine toxic effects, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of hyperstimulating the number of cells with dissolved organic matter.

The article is devoted to the study of problems of environmental pollution by production and consumption waste and prospects for their solution. The paper analyzes the management of production and consumption waste for five years in the Russian Federation in relation to the dynamics of economic development of the country. The dynamics of indicators of production and consumption waste generation in the Russian Federation is given. It is shown that the main contribution to the total amount of waste is made by waste of hazard classes V and IV. Analysis of the dynamics of waste generation for the main types of economic activity showed that the largest volume for the study period falls on the type of activity "mining". An analytical study of data on the growth rate of GDP, the volume of production and consumption waste generation, waste disposal and investment in environmental protection showed an increase in waste generated per unit of GDP. The paper shows that a set of measures to change the structure of the circulation system.
