The improvement of municipal solid waste management in Russia based on the criteria of a circular economy

摘要

In the paper, the authors propose to consider the problem of MSW management that is relevant for Russia from the standpoint of a circular economy as a continuation of the ideas proposed in the concept of sustainable development and the ecological economy. The authors formulate the criteria for a circular economy applicable in the system of MSW management. The authors also propose a methodology for rating technologies for processing MSW under the criteria of a circular economy, which can make the process of technology selection more objective, both for state and private investors. It can also serve as an argument to justify decisions to reduce the production of products, the processing technology of which does not meet the criteria of the circular economy.
