Summary
Economic growth affects all aspects of human life, including production and consumption, which, in turn, leads to an increase of waste. This problem is especially vivid for developing countries, where environmental laws are not yet fully formed, and acceleration of economic development is being accompanied by the deterioration of the environment. Experts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have calculated that a 1% growth in the national income increases the solid domestic waste by 0.69% [1]. According to World Bank forecasts, in 2025, city dwellers will produce an average of 1.42 kg / person of solid household waste per day compared with the current 0.64 kg. As for most developing countries, the problems of waste management appeal to be quite acute for Ukraine
