Belinskaya I. V., Makarenko E.D.
The transition from the traditional model of economic development of society to the strategy of sustainable development is a global trend. Currently, the leading course in this direction is the "green" economy and the solution of the problems of collection, sorting, transportation of waste and recycling. Practical measures in the implementation of the principles of ecology are actively carried out in many countries of the world, however, the Russian Federation is characterized by a low rate of implementation of innovative approaches to organizing the collection and processing of household waste. At present, only 6-8% of solid municipal waste is recycled in Russia, and even then, mainly in big cities. The main goal of the waste management reform is to form a structure that will maximize compliance with the principles of a circular economy and move in this direction, these principles allow minimizing waste and other types of environmental pollution. For this purpose, the article presents the results of the analysis of certain theoretical aspects and practical steps of the initial stage of the reorganization of the waste management sphere in the Russian Federation and formulates proposals for some adjustment of the structure of the integrated system of solid municipal waste management (CSW MSW) through the mechanisms of the socio-economic and state approach.
