Waste disposal in the Udmurt Republic: analysis of the raw material base and current trends

An analytical study of statistical data on the types and volumes of waste generated in the Udmurt Republic was carried out. The purpose of the study is to identify promising directions for the development of the waste processing industry in the region, taking into account the current regulatory framework and indicators of resource saving. In the emerging industry, two segments have been identified and characterized: industrial waste, including hazard classes I and II, and waste not subject to disposal at landfills; solid municipal waste, which, according to the Federal Classification Catalog of Wastes, includes municipal waste similar to municipal waste in production, waste from the provision of services to the public, as well as "residues of sorting solid municipal waste when collected together". The waste generated in the region of these segments is considered from the point of view of the raw material base for the secondary raw materials market; the prospects for the development of the processing industry and minimization of environmental damage are shown. Proposals have been developed for the types of waste that are promising in the implementation of technologies and methods of recycling of secondary raw materials. The features, social and organizational issues, as well as the problematic aspects of separate waste collection in educational institutions are touched upon, on the example of the Udmurt State University.
