Abstract

This article presents the results of a study on the current situation of waste management in Russia, based on expe rt interview data from various categories of stakeholders in the period from 2014 to 2017. Expert groups are represented by various categories of persons involved in solving the problem of waste: NGOs, activists, scholars of the humanities and natural scie nces, representatives of the business sector, public administration, environmentalists and technologists. The problems of legal eco - modernization and economic, environmental, technological, social and cultural aspects are discussed. The dynamics of develop ment in recent years can be described as positive, but there are many unresolved issues in each of the areas. In the legal part of the management there is no necessary clarity in the functional distribution of the responsibilities of the main stakeholders. In the sector of institutional governance there is no chain of stakeholders, which is coordinated with a non - waste or cyclical economy, social policy is not worked out, and there are no solutions in the field of social policy. The strength of the Russian management system can be identified in potential technical capabilities, and the willingness of the non - profit and private sector to take a more decisive position in waste management. However, there are flaws in each direction, which must be quickly resolv ed in order to meet modern requirements in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection. In the legal support sector, there is no clarity in the functional distribution of the responsibilities of the parties involved in the legal inter action. In the sector of institutional governance there is no chain of stakeholders, which is coordinated with a non - waste or cyclical economy, social policy is not worked out. The project "Clean Country" and the functionality of territorial schemes in the field of waste management on the territory of Russia cause a special resonance. The main resource is initiative non - profit organizations and business sector, which needs legal and economic state support in the form of a well - developed legislative framewor k that takes into account the interest of all decision - makers and reducing the negative impact of waste on the environment.
