Dynamics of organic fraction of municipal solid waste in Vinnitsa (Ukraine)

Abstract

The problem of analysis and forecasting the formation of municipal solid waste organic fraction depending on various factors, primarily on the level of public welfare, is extremely important today. The fact is that over 50% of the total volume of waste produced by households is accounted for the organic fraction. Therefore, the study of factors influencing the phase of formation of these types of waste will make it possible to provide effective control and management of waste in the future. There are relatively few studies that assess the trends of organic waste produced by household. The objective of this study is to bring together the observations of producing waste organic fraction by families with different income levels in Vinnytsia. We have collected the data 28 households within 2014 – 2016. The results of this study present multiple relationships between organic waste, industrial production and population growth, and dependence of morphological composition of MSW produced by people on their welfare. We have analyzed the trends in formation of organic fraction of municipal solid waste, which would allow to provide effective control over the waste management system of the city and contribute to waste reduction.
