Problems of legal regulation of waste management under the legislation of Ukraine

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of waste management under the legislation of Ukraine. Its relevance is due to the fact that nowadays, the waste management system in Ukraine is characterized by their accumulation in both the industrial and household sectors, disposal without taking into account the possible dangerous consequences, improper use of waste as secondary raw materials, inefficiency of implemented economic instruments in the sphere of recent economic instruments. Which in turn has a very negative impact on the environment and human health.

An analysis of the law enforcement practice in this area shows that, despite the mass of violations that occur in the process of waste management, the regulatory framework governing their treatment and the calculation of damage / damage resulting from illegal activities in the field of waste management are imperfect. This also leads to low efficiency of specialized state bodies in the field of ecology and does not provide adequate impact on reducing the negative impact of emissions into the environment.

Accordingly, national legislation in this area requires substantial changes and additions. In particular, it is necessary to approve the procedure for issuing a permit for operations in the field of waste management, to develop and approve a departmental order of waste management, which would regulate the issues of storage, storage, disposal and disposal of waste, to develop and approve a departmental order of determining the hazard classes of waste, and also the degree of their danger to the environment. In addition, it is necessary to make significant changes to the methodology for determining the amount of damage caused by pollution and contamination of land resources due to violation of environmental legislation.
