A systemic solution to the problem of municipal solid waste management in the Kaliningrad region as a factor in sustainable development

Abstract

This article presents a systemic approach to municipal solid waste management in the Kaliningrad region. This approach is based on innovative practices and marketing research. It will contribute to regional development in line with the principles of green economy and cross-border cooperation in the Baltic countries. An innovative ecosystem should be created in the region to reach this goal, along with a network of solid municipal waste recycling enterprises. This network should include microenterprises. The study offers a universal business model for a recycling microenterprise.
