Problems of Waste Management in Wartime Conditions

Abstract:

As a result of the ongoing hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the waste situation has become significantly more complicated. The load on existing landfills has increased significantly, and the morphological composition of waste has changed significantly. Work on the reconstruction and construction of new environmentally friendly landfills is being carried out slowly and in insufficient quantities. Based on the research conducted, we proposed a scenario for the management of waste generated under martial law (in particular, destruction waste) using the example of the city of Kremenchug. The capacity of the local landfill and its ability to accept such waste were investigated. Recommendations have been developed to improve the system for monitoring the state of the environment in the area of ​​influence of the landfill. To increase the efficiency of using the landfill, measures have been proposed to compact waste, which will allow its continued operation and ensure safe waste management in war conditions.
