Abstract:
Obsolete approach to solid municipal waste management (SMW) prevails in the regions of the Russian
Federation, among others including the Chuvash Republic. The existing way of SMW disposal at landfills
virtually with no preliminary waste classification and sorting results in a plethora of environmental and
economic costs, thus demonstrating gross inefficiency. The goal of the article is the scientific substantiation
for the ideal placement of waste recycling plants in the regions of the Chuvash Republic using the method of
multi-criteria optimization. Fundamental and applied works of Russian and foreign experts in the field of
arrangement of social and economic systems of solid municipal waste management, system-oriented analysis,
empirical observation, description and generalization, ranking method made up the methodological basis of
the study. To resolve the issue of ideal placement of waste recycling plants in the regions of the Chuvash
Republic, multi-objective optimizat
ion problem was estimated. As a result of the estimate, five districts were
identified for the placement of waste recycling plants - Cheboksary, Kanash, Alatyr, Yadrinsk, and Kozlovsk.
The bottom line is that for purposes of optimization of transportation costs, it is advisable to place would-be
waste recycling plants in the Cheboksary, Kanash, Alatyr, Yadrinsk and Kozlovsk Districts of the Chuvash
Republic. The suggested method of multi-objective optimization to determine the placement of waste
recycling plants can be used to plan the placement of waste recycling plants in other regions or Federal
districts.
