Abstract:
Global environmental problems all over the world are extremely acute, they are associated with the constantly growing man-made impact of man on the environment. Extraction and processing of resources affect production processes, the natural environment, and public health. This is especially true of waste generated in the production and consumption process, which cannot be used for further use due to technical or economic reasons. Despite the fact that municipal solid waste (MSW) constitutes less than 1 % of the total amount of industrial and domestic waste generated, it is the most annoying factor for the population, especially in large cities and adjacent areas. The basis of the strategy is the separate collection of waste by the population, the “sorting depth” depends on the current policy in this area: from 4–5 types of MSW in a number of European countries, to 40 in some regions of Japan. The subject of the research is the solid waste management system. The purpose of the article is to study the waste management system in the world and in Russia, analyze the current situation and choose a management strategy to solve the problem of waste disposal. Research methodology: financial and economic analysis. The article presents analytical data on the formation and disposal of electronic and plastic MSW, which have a clear tendency to significant growth, leading to an increase in incineration and disposal. Global problems are also relevant for Russia, where the level of MSW processing is not high and so far there are about ten incineration plants (WIPs) with low productivity. For comparison, the number of incinerators: in Switzerland – 29, in Japan – 1900, in Sweden – 21, in Denmark – 32, the total number of inhabitants in these countries is less than the population of Russia. New factories are expensive both during construction and operation. The article provides an assessment of the economic consequences of switching to MSW processing by incineration at an incineration plant, provides a financial and economic model of the project. Analysis of foreign experience made it possible to understand the causes of the problems and develop recommendations. This article is part of the author’s research in the field of choosing optimal strategies for managing the disposal of solid municipal waste, based on the collected material, it is planned to publish a monograph.
