DIAGNOSIS OF TOXIC WASTE IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA - SWITCHING CIRCULAR MODELS

Hazardous waste management is a complex subject consisting of several components. There is no perfect model that can be applied in any situation, but the EU has firm principles on which to base its approach to waste management that can be applied in the Republic of Moldova. The most important challenge facing the authorities is to minimize the impact of hazardous waste on the population and the environment. Thus, risk minimization is possible only through an efficient and correct management of waste of any kind. In the study, the author aimed to analyse and evaluate the management of hazardous waste, to identify the most important problems and risks to the health of the population. This study was developed within the State Program 20.80009.0807.22 Development of the mechanism for the formation of the circular economy in the Republic of Moldova.
