Abstract: Abstract National strategic documents set ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This also applies to the solid waste management sector, which is experiencing a steady dynamic growth in emissions. The planned measures within the framework of the National Project “Ecology” will not be sufficient for reducing the volume of solid waste disposal and emissions from waste. Positive changes are only possible with a simultaneous increase in new waste recycling capacity and launching a large-scale process of reclaiming land currently occupied by landfills. Pursuing such a course of action has a pronounced social character while its macroeconomic effectiveness is low. The low-emission transformation of the waste management sector requires significant and continuous government incentives through financial support, setting targets, and monitoring their implementation.
