Russia has launched a full-scale reform of the solid municipal waste management system (SMW). In the process of its implementation the regions of the Arctic zone have faced a number of problems that can eventually lead to a situation when the export and utilization of waste under the old principles will become illegal, while the formation of a new system is impossible due to its economic unfoundedness in the Far North. Experts and many representatives of federal and regional authorities declare the need to develop a special approach to the treatment of SMW in the Arctic, taking into account the distances, low population density, climatic and natural conditions.
Issues for discussion:
- State support for the development of the sphere of TCO treatment in the Russian Arctic
- Formation of regional schemes for the management of TCR in the Arctic regions: positive experience, problematic issues, prospects for implementation
- TCO in the Arctic: subsidizing the transport of waste or changing requirements for accommodation facilities?
- Technologies for utilization and processing of waste for the Arctic zone
