Conceptual approaches and methodology of strategic planning in the field of consumer waste management

One of the trends of modern state policy is the formation of a comprehensive system of solid municipal waste management aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment, public health, and ensuring environmental safety. This direction is being implemented as part of the reform of the sphere of waste management of production and consumption, which is carried out on the basis of strategic planning documents. The complexity of the problems of such waste requires the use of scientifically-based conceptual approaches and methodology in the process of strategizing, ensuring the inclusion in the management process of all stages of waste management (collection, accumulation, transportation, processing, disposal, neutralization, disposal), as well as levels of adoption and implementation of management decisions (federal, regional and municipal).The article substantiates the need to apply an ecosystem approach to these relations, the concept of sustainable development, shows the importance of using system-structural and structural-functional methods that allow taking into account the specifics of this area, as well as to ensure consistency and balance of sectoral priorities, targets, objectives, indicators, means of achieving them with similar elements of strategic planning documents, developed in related fields. Proposals are formulated to improve the strategy in the field of consumer waste management, including MSW (on the development and adoption of an industry strategy, elimination of conceptual gaps, allocation of measures for the formation of consumer waste as a priority, creation of a system for their separate collection, organization of selective collection and disposal of types of consumer waste, etc.), aimed at improving efficiency management in this area.
