Producer responsibility organization how non-profit organizations

In connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Waste Management», for the first time in Ukraine, such a special subject of these legal relations as an extended producer responsibility organization appears as part of the subjects of administrative legal relations. In Europe, these organizations have been operating for decades, while in Ukraine their activities are just beginning. In this regard, it should be noted that the role of the state, which exercises control over the activities of such business entities on its territory, is always quite important. This control and managerial influence on the activities of certain business entities often depends not only on the areas of their activities, but also on their organizational and legal forms, their profitability or non-profitability, which determines their tax status and forms a certain model of interaction with regulatory authorities. This article analyzes the approach of the Ukrainian legislator to the definition of extended producer responsibility organizations in Ukraine as non-profit organizations, and points out a number of legal issues that may arise in the future in connection with the functioning of the EPROs exclusively as non-profit organizations. It is also stated that the waste management legislation, as it exists today, is new for our country, as it is the result of harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU legislation, which, accordingly, provides for its adaptation to the specifics of the work of state bodies, existing business processes and business practices in Ukraine. This raises the need to address certain issues that might not otherwise have been raised. One of these issues is the non-profitability of RWMOs, which the author of the article considers to be the result of an unbalanced approach of the legislator to solving certain problems of RWMOs in Ukraine, and therefore proposes: amendments to certain legislative acts regulating the field of waste management in Ukraine, changing the status of RWMOs from non-profit to profit, which, in the author’s opinion, will allow to build a more efficient waste management system and achieve targets for waste recovery and recycling in Ukraine with the participation of organizations with extended responsibility.

The transition to a market economy and the position of Ukrainian business in the international community largely depend on this.

IMPACT THE TREATMENT TYPES OF RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATES ON CONCRETE STRENGTH

Problem statement. The National Strategy of waste management in Ukraine until 2030 provides the creation of conditions for market development of usage recycled construction and demolishing waste including the ways of characteristic determination to obtain the regulations for recycled construction and demolishing waste that will let re-use and disposal. One of ways the re-use of deconstructed concrete is the obtaining coarse and fine aggregates for subsequent manufacturing of building materials and products. The ordinary way of recycled aggregates obtaining includes crushing stages that do not allow recovering the purified, i. e. cement-free, aggregates. Therefore, it is necessary to search the effective methods of treatments for producing high quality recycled aggregates. The purpose of the article is compressive strength evaluation of concrete samples with usage of aggregates obtained from waste of railway reinforcement concrete sleepers. The comparison of concrete strength has been done for coarse aggregates which are cleaned with mechanical treatment or impregnation by sodium silicate solution. Conclusions. It is established that both the mechanical purification from old cement-sand mortar rests and impregnation enhance physical and mechanical properties concrete comparing to concrete with untreated aggregates. The mechanical treatment increases the compressive strength and reaches 98 % of compressive strength for concrete with natural aggregates. The impregnation of sodium silicate increases at 10 % concrete strength compare with strength of concrete with untreated aggregates. So, both treatment methods of recycled coarse aggregates can be used for concrete manufacturing with appropriate strength.

Assessment of the Efficiency of the Financial Mechanism of Environmental Management

Abstract In recent decades, cataclysmic events, deterioration of air and water quality, and loss of biodiversity have forced us to look for ways to save nature. One of the ways to solve the problems is to ensure rational environmental management, which is possible by establishing an effective balance between consumption and compensation by creating an effective financial mechanism. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficiency of the current financial mechanism for environmental management in Ukraine and to determine the prospects for its improvement. The study uses analysis, synthesis, specification, systematization, and generalization. The graphical method was used to assess environmental taxes, and mathematical modelling was used to analyze the dependence of emissions on direct costs and capital investments in air protection and climate change. Environmental taxes in Ukraine are an ineffective instrument of the financial mechanism of environmental management. Their share in the structure of domestic GDP is lower than the share in the EU. The author suggests ways to improve them: to replace the CO2 tax with an energy tax; to cancel the tax-free limit of 500.000 tons of CO2 emissions per year; to change the structure of tax distribution; to introduce tax rebates. The correlation and regression analysis of the dependence of air pollutant emissions on current expenditures and capital investments in air protection and climate change issues showed the existence of a feedback loop. Investment support for environmental management should be provided from various sources in the following areas: national, local and international finances - primarily for the restoration of air, water and contaminated areas; own funds and international investments - for the modernization and greening of production.

Comparative analysis of corporate social responsibility management: foreign experience

Building the concept of a socially responsible enterprise is an important element of the process of implementing sustainable development at enterprises and in the country as a whole. The purpose of the paper is the analysis and systematization of key aspects of social protection, provision of social services, organization and management of social responsibility of enterprises, organizations and the state as a whole in developed countries of the world in order to develop a mechanism of social responsibility management in Ukraine. To achieve the goal, the following tasks have been set to research modern approaches to social protection and the provision of social services in foreign countries of the world, as well as to analyze the best foreign practices in managing social responsibility at the enterprise, local and state levels. A scheme of interconnection of local social responsibility, consisting of external and internal and operating at the level of the enterprise, region, industry, and state, has been built. The scheme made it possible to substantiate the criteria by which the analysis was carried out - social protection, social services, management of social responsibility by levels (state, local and enterprise or organization level). It was concluded that the management of social responsibility is carried out in countries according to the models of social responsibility chosen by the state in accordance with traditions and culture. At the same time, there is no single classification of these models. The classifications differ only in the complete disclosure of the European model. It has been proven that the models of social responsibility differ in the level of intervention by state authorities regarding social protection and the provision of social services. The conducted comparative analysis will allow to build a mechanism for managing the social responsibility of the enterprise.

Стратегічні засади переформатування логістичних ланцюгів агропродовольчої продукції в систему замкнених циклів у парадигмі циркулярної економіки

The article reveals the features of transforming the logistics chains of agri-food supply into a system of closed cycles. Also, it suggests strategies for reformatting the logistics chains of agri-food products into a system of closed cycles. In particular, a scheme for the operational implementation of the transformational processes of reformatting the logistics chains of agro-food products into a system of closed cycles is proposed. It has been established that one of the critical aspects of the circular agricultural economy is the return of nutrients to the soil through the processing of bio-waste and renewable fertilizers, which contributes to the preservation of fertility and natural capital. This is critical to prevent nutrient deficiencies in agriculture and reduce pollution. Organic and food waste management is at the heart of the transition to circular agriculture, which minimizes dependence on external resources, mitigates environmental impact, and uses waste to create bioenergy and biofertilizers. The number of fines imposed on business entities for violating the legislation in the field of household waste management in Ukraine has been determined. It is substantiated that the experience of foreign countries indicates the critical direction for developing a national strategy for the transition to a circular agro-food economy of Ukraine based on the principles of sustainable development. Among the main development strategies, the following stand out: the strategy of clean, sustainable growth, focused on minimizing climate change and stimulating eco-innovations; bioeconomy strategy, which involves the use of biological resources for sustainable development and preservation of biodiversity; as well as a national waste management strategy that emphasizes the minimization of agricultural waste and the support of closed production cycles. Keywords: circular economy, sustainable development, agrarian sector of the economy, supply chains, disposal of food waste, development strategies.

Public management in the conditions of European integration and globalization: challenges and prospects

The article reveals the peculiarities of the development of public management in Ukraine in the conditions of European integration and globalization. It has been established that public management is a complex and multifaceted entity as an object of scientific knowledge, the basis of which is a concept based on the close relationship between politics and law, management and power, the political system and society in general, as well as the interaction of society with various elements of social systems. It is noted that there is No. stable, comprehensive and universally recognized formulation of public management in the literature. The definition of public management is approached rather from the standpoint of the actual content of the activity or the forms it can take. It was revealed that the main characteristics of the public management system in each state depend on the state structure, political regime and political culture, functioning of political institutions, electoral system, relations between politicians and civil servants, between authorities and institutions of civil society. It was established that the processes of globalization and integration are especially relevant for the development of the modern period of public management. It is emphasized that an important problem for the domestic management system is the search for effective concepts of public management and their implementation in the modern state-building practice.This issue becomes particularly relevant in view of the fact that, having ratified the Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other hand, Ukraine has defined the state policy as such, aimed at bringing the standard of living of Ukrainian citizens closer to European standards, instilling European values in all spheres of functioning of the Ukrainian state and society. It was concluded that European integration and globalization make their own corrections in state management, and now the focus is on ensuring the effective work of public management in the face of European integration and globalization challenges. One of the main options for the effectiveness of public management in those conditions is the full consolidation of efforts and mutual understanding at all its levels, which is now extremely important, the establishment of close cooperation with society.

Циркулярна економіка: особливості та перспективи впровадження в Україні в умовах війни

The circular economy is a prerequisite for the new industrial revolution, because it contributes to achieving maximum economic efficiency in industry and reducing the negative impact on the environment. Its implementation involves a set of measures aimed at the sustainable development of enterprises, the country and society. Introducing the concept of circular economy is an important and necessary step for the development of our country, its integration into the European Union and post-war recovery. The purpose of the study is to identify problems on the path of reorientation of Ukrainian enterprises to the principles of circularity and sustainable development and to develop methods for their rapid adaptation, in particular, taking into account the consequences of European integration and full- scale war. The goals of the research: analysis of the current state of waste management in Ukraine, clarification of the essence and key principles of circularity and sustainable development, identification of the main strategies for the implementation of the circular economy, analysis of the peculiarities of the implementation of circular business models in Ukraine, taking into account the experience of the EU, development of recommendations for rapid adaptation circular business models in conditions of war. The peculiarities of waste management in Ukraine, in particular in the conditions of war, the readiness of companies and resource provision for the introduction of new circular business models are analyzed. The advantages and weaknesses of the implementation of circular principles, the opportunities that open up to enterprises, the positive impact on the economic, social, technological spheres, etc. are characterized. Before the full-scale invasion into Ukraine, most of the factors of the external environment were generally favorable for the implementation of circular economy business models by Ukrainian enterprises: accelerated accession to the EU, commitment to Ukrainian business in the world market, attraction of foreign investments, development of innovative technologies in Ukraine, gradual change in the culture of consumption, increasing consumer trust in “green” brands, increasing the level of social responsibility of enterprises. The amount of waste in Ukraine as a result of military operations as of June 2023 was 12 million tons (excluding temporarily occupied territories): destruction of admini- strative buildings, private houses, agricultural lands, etc. At the same time, it was stated that the pre- war methods of waste management, which were already ineffective, cannot be used in principle today. Therefore, now more than ever, it is important to promptly and effectively eliminate its consequences, which, on the other hand, is also a potential for the development of the circular economy and the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

Nutrient and organic substances emissions from diffuse sources to the rivers of Ukrainian Carpathians

Formulation of the problem. The transition from territorial-administrative to basin-based water resources management in Ukraine requires an assessment of the load of water bodies with pollutants from diffuse and point sources. Among the various components of the chemical composition of water entering water bodies, organic matter and nutrients are the most important. The Danube is the second largest river in Europe, with a basin covering the territories of 19 countries and is an important transportation waterway. Within Ukraine, the Danube is divided into the Lower Danube sub-catchment and the Tisza, Prut, and Siret River basins within the Carpathian region. The scientific results presented in this paper were obtained during research within the framework of state budgetary research works of the UHMI, the implementation of which will contribute to the further development of knowledge in the field of hydrometeorology. The results presented in the publication are important for supplementing information when writing the Danube River Basin Management Plan, which is being developed in accordance with Ukraine's obligations under the Association Agreement with the European Union. Aim of the study. To calculate the supply of nutrients and organic matter from diffuse sources to the rivers of the Danube basin within the Ukrainian Carpathians. Methods. Monitoring data of organic substances and nutrients provided by the Danube Hydrometeorological Observatory (the state surface water monitoring network of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine) for 2018 were used for calculations. To assess the load of water bodies by diffuse sources, a conceptual scheme was developed that allowed to take into account the main pathways of substances supply, i.e precipitation; water runoff from arable land, forests, meadows and pastures, built-up areas, rock outcrops, as well as from the population of rural regions without sewage systems. Scientific novelty. For the first time: the load of nutrients and organic matter in the Danube rivers within the Ukrainian Carpathians by the sources of their income was evaluated; it was found that agricultural land is the main source of emissions of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. Practical value. The analysis of the diffuse load by nutrients and organic matter in the Danube rivers can be used as an important part of the River Basin Management Plan. The results of the calculations can also be used to develop measures to achieve certain environmental objectives. Results. The main source of organic matter in the water of rivers of the Carpathian region ere agricultural enterprises locating within rural settlements that are not equipped with sewage systems. Surface water of Prut and Tisza River basins is the most polluted by organic matter. By source, the nutrient emissions are distributed as follows. For the Tisza and Prut rivers, more than 50% of the total nitrogen compounds emissions come from agricultural land, while for the Siret River the source of nitrogen compounds are forests (46% of the total nitrogen emissions). Accordingly, the total phosphorus runoff for the Tisza and Prut rivers was distributed as follows: the dominant share (up to 45%) comes from agricultural land, the load caused by population not connected to the sewerage systems is 36%. For the Siret River, agricultural land and forested areas are of equal shares (33%) among the sources of phosphorus compounds.

Replication of the true knowledge of constitutional land law is the basis of sustainable nature management in Ukraine

It was established that the root cause of the multiyear wandering of the Ukrainian «elite» in the search for ways and methods of forming the sustainable development of a new sovereign Ukrainian state, among the civilized nations of the world, was the hybrid manipulative pro-Soviet system of knowledge of the «departmental monopoly», which took root in the scientific and pedagogical environment of Ukraine and gradually grew into the «corrupt-oligarchic» system of interest in the entire space of social relations. It is substantiated that the communist majority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine already in 1992 (in the pre-constitutional period) in a hybrid way (divide and rule) spontaneously divided the land and its natural resources, which is the absolute property of the Ukrainian people, into three different forms of ownership of «land» (state, collective and private). The so-called land reform carried out in Ukraine on the basis of «collective ownership of land» has not been introduced into the constitutional field until now, but on the contrary continues to deepen, by introducing in an anti-constitutional way the contrived circulation of agricultural land (up to 10 thousand hectares in the same hands). It has been proved that the most important primary action as a factor in establishing law and order in the Ukrainian reality is true knowledge of the economic and legal essence of constitutional land pragmatism. The level of life activity in today’s Ukraine depends on the level of worldview education of its citizens, especially young people who study in the institutions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. It is required that every educated citizen of Ukraine, as a fullfledged (de jure) co-founder of the state (republic) and co-owner of the land and its natural resources, especially young students graduating from universities, including agricultural ones, should have knowledge of constitutional rights regarding «land» as the main capital of the nation, which is the irreplaceable basis of everyone’s civilized and prosperous life. It has been proven that the presence of a personal founding (statutory) share in the capital of the nation, the size of which will initially be equivalent to more than 200 thousand US dollars, will become a real driver of the process of manifestation of the civil rights of a Ukrainian.

Study of digital twins as the driving force of digital transformation and achieving the goals of sustainable development

The object of research is the use of Digital Twin (DT) technology in the manufacturing sector and its impact on sustainability. The scientific problem addressed is the identification and quantification of the potential advantages and challenges associated with the adoption of DTs at operational, tactical, and strategic levels, particularly in the context of sustainable development. The paper investigates how DTs can redefine the measurement of sustainable development and diversify implementation within manufacturing infrastructure. The study concludes that DTs are a sophisticated technology that enables manufacturers to create precise virtual replicas of physical products or processes. This helps in optimizing resource utilization, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing waste, thereby promoting sustainability. Main DT clusters and common uses highlighted by the authors demonstrate huge impact on energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable design, logistics emissions reduction, water conservation, and stakeholder engagement. It is proved that DTs simulate and analyze complex systems, enabling the evaluation and improvement of sustainability levels. The paper presents promising practical examples of DT’s use, such as optimizing warehouse management in Ukraine, automating robots for increased efficiency, and aiding in the post-war reconstruction of cities with a focus on environmental friendliness and accessible infrastructure. The research specifically focuses on the top five tech giants and their use of DTs to drive sustainability. Additionally, the findings project substantial market growth potential for DTs in multiple sectors, emphasizing the urgent need for industries to integrate DTs into their sustainability strategies.

REGULATORY AND LEGAL REGULATION OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN UKRAINE

The purpose of the study is to identify problematic issues of regulatory regulation of the tourism industry and the influence of state authorities on the development of tourism in Ukraine. The article proves that the structure of tourism management in Ukraine should include international, state, regional, regional and local levels. It has been determined that special attention is required to the local level of organization of tourism activities, on which the work of a significant number of economic entities is concentrated. The activities of tourism enterprises and other business entities directly depend on the decisions taken and the coordinated actions of the highest levels of management, so they are most vulnerable to changes or other threats. The legal regulation of tourism activities in Ukraine is carried out on the basis of the laws of Ukraine, orders of the President of Ukraine, orders of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, Orders of the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine, acts of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, industry standards, international and other regulatory legal acts that ensure the organization and provision of tourism services. An important component of public management of tourism activities is the use of the category «method» as a way of implementing managerial functions through the organizational and administrative influence of the management entity on the activity of the object to achieve managerial goals. There is a direct connection between the functions of public administration and the methods by which the state can implement them. The use of modern management methods makes it possible to compete in the market of tourist services, provide quality tourist services and effectively perform the tasks and functions. The methodology for managing the tourism industry determines what procedures need to be used to make management decisions. The use of certain methods of tourism management is carried out both at the state and regional and local levels. In terms of integration processes, the search for a model of economic development, the Ukrainian government has embarked on the path of decentralization. One of the steps of its implementation is the transfer of power, financial resources and responsibility to the ground. For this, a number of decisions were made, which led to the beginning of the voluntary unification of individual settlements in accordance with geographical and economic features.
