During the period of the pandemic, each country has been faced with the insufficiency of the established system of sorting and recyclingrecycling of waste. The need to modernize the created separation and disposal measures system has become critical. Getting a large number of medical wastes, including masks, gloves, napkins, and plastic bottles from under antibacterial agents to landfills along with foodfood waste, is fraught with unforeseen biological consequences, or rather complete intoxication and the inability to use these resources in the future.
