Innovative solutions for recycling and waste disposal and labour market in Russia

Abstract

In the modern society the activities related to solving environmental and economic problems, managing climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, resource and energy conservation, consumption of irreplaceable resources are of great importance. To effectively manage waste and increase the share of secondary raw materials that go for processing, it is necessary to automate processes and use IT technologies at all stages: during collection, accumulation, logistics and processing. On the basis of the content analysis method the authors analyse the application of the recycling and waste disposal and present the future trends and the advantages of their application in Russia. The severity of the environmental impact of waste treatment and disposal depends on the volume of waste generated, its composition, the amount of illegally buried waste, the amount of waste disposed of in a landfill and the standards of waste treatment plants. The future impact of the waste management process will depend on how these factors change. Waste final treatment today means either landfill or incineration, and these two types of final treatment have different, but in both cases, negative impact on the environment.
