Abstract

Purpose. Characteristics of the packaging waste group and development of  such waste classification systems on various grounds, as well as the definition of areas for effective management and treatment.

Methods. System analysis, methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and interpretation.

Results. Studies of the municipal solid waste composition in the cities of Ukraine do not allow to fully quantify the packaging waste, but the approximate content of such waste is 10-20%. Packaging waste can be classified by composition, place of generation and treatment options. The classification of packaging waste on the basis of the waste hierarchy is the basis for the developed priority number of directions of such waste management. It is indicated that packaging waste is the secondary material resources of the first stage with the available processing technologies. Increasing the extraction rate of packaging waste from the total municipal solid waste flow is a necessary condition for the efficient use of their resource potential and is possible only in case of waste flow differentiation at the beginning of its life cycle.

Conclusions. The packaging waste group in the municipal solid waste is characterized by a significant content and variety of composition, which can be classified on various grounds, such as composition, place of generation and approach to management and treatment. In accordance with the developed priority number of waste management directions, it is necessary to create less packaging, and the existing one is effectively recycled and produced from biodegradable materials. In modern conditions, packaging waste is the most common secondary raw material, but due to the extremely low level of separate collection implementation, such waste loses its resource value and pollutes the environment. Therefore, proper organization of separate collection is the key to effective utilization of packaging waste.
