The aim of this article is to study and evaluate the economic state of the current solid domestic waste management system in the region. This issue is one of the key priorities in implementing the Action Plan for the Republic of Kazakhstan's transition to a "green" economy.
The existing solid domestic waste management system in the region has proven to be ineffective. The volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to increase, leading to widespread littering and the expansion of landfills. This, in turn, has a negative impact on the ecological state of the land occupied by landfills, contributing to the rise in unauthorized dumps. Furthermore, there is no rational system in place for the disposal, processing, transportation, and reclamation of landfills. Environmental protection remains a pressing issue for the region, with the disposal of industrial and consumer waste being particularly challenging.
As demonstrated by the experience of developed countries, the prioritization of waste management strategies is primarily determined by societal decisions and national policy goals.
The practical significance of this research lies in its analysis of waste management practices, emphasizing the need for the development of new technologies for MSW processing. In particular, the construction of an MSW incineration plant is proposed as a solution to improve waste management efficiency.
