Problems and prospects of unifying methods to categorize industrial and consumption waste for industrial enterprises

The authors considered a problem of duality of existing approaches to classification of industrial and consumption waste in Russian Federation. The suggestions also are methodical approaches to unified method for classification of household and industrial waste, which take into account the particularly dangerous properties of individual components of waste — carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reprotoxicity — and categorize waste into 5 classes. Preliminary calculations of jeopardy classes for an enterprise waste were carried out and additional economic costs of a large enterprise are analyzed with a new technique introduction. It is shown that for about 10% of waste types the jeopardy class will increase. An economic entity will need funds for special preparation of temporary waste storage sites with a higher jeopardy class. Environmental charges for negative environmental impact are increasing. To increase objectivity of accounting hazardous properties of waste, necessity is to form a list of chemicals with proven hazardous properties and clear identification of physico-chemical parameters of the waste components that are responsible for those properties manifestation.

Increased attention to highly hazardous waste, adequate methods of collection, temporary storage, transport, disposal should lead to improvement of environment quality, reduce health risks for those in occupational contact with waste and for general population.
