Resume

The current state of industrial and household waste management in the oblasts of the Carpathian region is analyzed. Of the total volume of waste generated in hazard classes I-IV, household waste accounted for the largest percentage in Zakarpatska and Chernivetska oblasts, 92.1% (148,700 tons) and 48.0% (50,600 tons), respectively, and the smallest in Ivano-Frankivsks and Lvivska oblasts, 18.1% (131,600 tons) and 10.5% (300,800 tons), respectively. Today, potentially hazardous military waste is encountered in the oblasts of the Carpathian region as a result of bombing by guided missiles and drones. This requires special sites for its disposal based on the criterion of environmental safety. The share of industrial waste generated by business entities by type of industry in the Carpathian region is specified. The article reveals that processing industry generates the largest percentage of industrial waste in Zakarpatska, Ivano-Frankivska, and Chernivetska oblasts, while in Lvivska oblast it is generated by the supply of electricity and gas, mining and processing industries. Priority industries in the context of modernization of regional development, especially in mountainous areas, are identified. The infrastructure of existing waste disposal sites is presented according to the criterion of environmental safety. The largest number of operating disposal sites for extremely hazardous and dangerous waste is located in Lvivska oblast (52), with it being somewhat less in Zakarpatska (29) and Ivano-Frankivska (28) oblasts. The priority tasks of reducing the generation of waste from industry and everyday life and its impact on the environment in the post-war period are substantiated. Particular attention is paid to ways to reduce the impact of military waste on the environment and the quality of life of the population, in particular: a) organization of temporary storage facilities and landfills; b) demining and research of destroyed facilities and the environment; c) ensuring separate collection (if possible at the point of generation); d) separating waste according to the criterion of environmental safety; e) separating waste that can be reused in the restoration or construction of other infrastructure facilities, as well as waste that is unsuitable for processing and use as secondary raw materials.
