On the issue of building an integrated waste management system: World practice and its application in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The problem of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the world is increasing every year. According to the World Bank, more than 2 billion tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) are produced annually in the world. The paper shows that problem of waste management is growing all over the world. And if the developed countries have the opportunity to build an effective circulation system, then the developing countries, which are the majority, still solve this problem through open landfills and burial. It shows that only the presence of a balanced comprehensive program of the MSW management system will allow solving the problem of accelerated creation and effective functioning of the modern waste management industry.
