Abstract
Faecal sludge management (FSM) is an organized program that allows regularly to collect, transport, process and utilize faecal sludge as biological waste. A faecal sludge management in settlements in Russian Federation is so bad organized or only partially exist. There are significant gaps as well as general understanding of institutional roles and responsibilities at national, state and city levels. Planning should be done in a temporal and spatial context. Сities, while maintaining short-term stability, will be guided by the goals of a long-term vision of creation. Planning system of faecal sludge management in Russian Federation that involves these blocks: regulatory framework, selection of best available techniques (BAT), financing and planning mechanisms, is analyzed. Integrated approach to the creation and regulation of a faecal waste management are shown. For implementation such approach, a system of evaluation criteria is required in order to determine the end product and, accordingly, determine development direction of this industry in the geographical area where this system will operate.
Highlights
The problem of the generation and management of various waste types is very acute all over the world
If the problem of the inorganic waste generation can be partially solved by banning the manufacture of certain products types, the problem of the organic waste generation, including faecal sludge, is much more difficult to solve
The most acute socio-economic and environmental problem is the problem of faecal sludge management
Summary
The problem of the generation and management of various waste types is very acute all over the world. Implementation of sustainable FSM is an important step towards achieving sustainable development goals Such system should include three important components: planning (creating a step-by-step management of faecal sludge from source to end product), management (integrated and local control at each stage of circulation, as well as transportation control) and technology (selection is made taking into account the characteristics of accumulation places, economic funds, the end product, etc.) [20]. Considering these components as a complex, and not separately, it is possible to achieve three main goals.
