Environmental pollution due to increasing waste flows is on top of the global agenda. Many developing countries including Russia address this issue by investing in waste treatment facilities. They give little regard to circular economy principles which are gaining prominence in advanced countries. Lack of detailed information on waste flows limits waste management system analysis best practices applicability in these countries.
We developed a framework for waste generation analysis during the life cycle based on data available for Russia. For production waste analysis, we base on waste input-output methodology to distinguish between direct and indirect waste flows attributable to the final demand. For consumption waste, we used expert estimate to allocate the amount of municipal solid waste to each group of industries. We put together the information on waste during production and consumption to assess resource efficiency of output during the life cycle. We divide waste flows into those resulting from structural and technological resource inefficiency. Structural inefficiency results from overall resource orientation of Russian economy. Extraction waste represents more than a half of all waste generated and is mainly attributable to export. An example of technological inefficiency within an industry is waste generation in foods and agriculture sector which is 7 times higher per unit of value added than the respective indicator for Great Britain. The framework may serve to identify key resource leakages in an economy. Further analysis of resource industries should be followed by the development of address measures and respective KPIs to boost resource efficiency at industrial and product levels. This is crucial for running complex waste management policy based on circular economy principles. |
