Ukraine has undertaken to sort all waste by types of materials, as well as to divide it into suitable for reuse, recycling and disposal.<\/p>\n<p>This is stated in Article 32 of the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn Waste\u201d (hereinafter referred to as the Law), amended with an appropriate paragraph in 2012; that is, the Law states that in order to restrict and prevent the negative impact of waste on the environment and human health, burying unprocessed (untreated) household wastes is prohibited as of January 1, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>This paragraph corresponds to the two EU Directives \u2013 1999\/31\/EC and 2008\/98\/EC \u2013 that regulate waste management in European countries, provide a clear sequence of activities that must be performed regarding waste, classify waste, and set the strategic goal of reducing the amount of waste taken away to disposal sites.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into account that the system of household waste management is in general imperfect, it is necessary to implement a comprehensive approach to the waste problem.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in July, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine get the work on the \u201cNational Strategy for Waste Management\u201d done. The strategy defines the main directions of state regulation in the field of waste management in the coming decades, taking into account European approaches to waste management based on the provisions of the EU Waste Framework Directive No. 2008\/98\/EC, in particular its basic principles \u2013 transition to a closed-loop economy, which is the heart of the sustainable development strategy, waste minimization and the manufacturer\u2019s interest in their processing, with burial being the least acceptable option.<\/p>\n<p>However, in order to get a mechanism for sorting household waste (<em>reference: household waste includes all waste, except those formed as a result of manufacturing activities<\/em>), the following is required:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>attitudinal changes of Ukrainian citizens \u2013 to develop environmental literacy in relation to the environment, get used to \u201cEuropean-style cleanliness\u201d and begin to sort garbage at home, deliver recyclable waste \u2013 plastic, glass, paper \u2013 to recycling centers;<\/li>\n<li>garbage must be sorted directly by inhabitants of apartment houses, employees of enterprises, organizations, institutions, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>organized infrastructure, including availability of:<\/li>\n<li>areas near residential with separate containers for different types of waste \u2013 plastic, cardboard, metal, glass, organic and mixed waste;<\/li>\n<li>separate waste collection stations, including mobile ones;<\/li>\n<li>waste recycling \u2013 the introduction of new and expansion of existing capacities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thus, starting with the main, WITH US \u2013 by small, but sure steps, we have to pave the way to a cleaner future, because the introduction of separate waste collection does not depend on availability of containers, but on behavior and attitude of mankind to the environment.
