The article discusses the environmental and economic aspects of the effectiveness of cooperation with customers and processors of secondary raw materials in waste management. The area of research and implementation of the research results is the handling of film waste in warehouse logistics. The role and importance of environmentally friendly development of companies engaged in the field of logistics has been determined. The article discusses modern methods for the use of waste in warehouse logistics and offers improved methods for working with them using the method of analyzing financial and economic indicators in the interests of assessing the effectiveness of restructuring or improving processes associated with the formation of film waste in warehouse logistics. The economic efficiency of using the PHP press has been proved simultaneously with the optimization of the processes of sorting mixed waste in warehouse logistics. In order to increase the use of films from recycled materials, a new method has been proposed that partially replaces the use of films from primary raw materials. In addition, a method of cooperation between a warehouse company and a recycler was proposed and tested in order to minimize the supply chain and obtain an additional economic effect due to the return of waste back to products. The article discusses cooperation with the use of a tolling scheme, in which waste for a logistics company is converted into raw materials, and not into products, as is the case with the usual sale of waste. Considered and proved the effectiveness of cooperation with the use of a tolling scheme regarding taxation, both for the processor of raw materials and for the warehouse company. In our opinion, the research results presented in the article convincingly demonstrate the positive impact of the proposed measures on the economic, environmental and social spheres, which may serve as a sufficient basis for using such approaches in the interests of the environmentally oriented development of logistics companies.

The paper considers the priority areas of greening warehouse logistics, as well as modern methods for assessing the effectiveness of environmentally friendly measures for waste management. The importance of considering warehouse logistics as an element of the logistics chain is noted. Research area and implementation of the research results – identification of the primary source of waste generation in warehouse logistics and identification of the most dangerous element in order to search for methods to increase environmental and economic efficiency in waste management. The article discusses the efficiency of greening in the management of film waste through the creation of an operational cycle for the waste of stretch film, as a promising one. The expediency of a separate assessment of environmental and economic efficiency was also determined, for the latter, modern methods of assessing project management were used. In assessing the indicators of economic efficiency, the potential was determined from the use of indicators that take into account the cost of money over time, in order to balance the fairly estimated economic efficiency from the reverse use of polyethylene waste in cooperation. A method of summary, consolidated assessment of the obtained indicators is proposed for the possible distribution of additional balanced profit in equal proportions. The results, methods and approaches considered in the article reveal the additional potential of greening the warehouse logistics link as an element of the logistics chain, and also determine the priority importance of managing the turnover of film waste over other waste generated in warehouse logistics. The possibility of obtaining economic efficiency from the results of the transition to «green» solutions has been proven not only for a warehouse company, but also for adjacent interacting sectors of the economy.

The purpose of this research is to identify the condition of MSMEs and the actions taken to survive the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects in this study were MSMEs in three provinces, namely East Java (Surabaya and Gresik), Central Java (Pekalongan and Cilacap), and Riau (Pekanbaru). The method used in this research is a literature review with a descriptive research type. This means that the data in this study are secondary data from the research results of other researchers. The literature sources in this thesis are five journals of research results on MSMEs in East Java (Surabaya and Gresik), Central Java (Pekalongan and Cilacap), and Riau (Pekanbaru) during the COVID-19 pandemic. To carry out the analysis, the researcher used the concept of J. Scott's (1981) moral economic behavior theory which has two basic assumptions. It is a subsistence economy and safety-first behavior to avoid risk. The results, first, the researchers looked at the conditions of MSMEs in East Java, Central Java, and Riau which was in a subsistence condition or was in minimal conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic such as decreased sales turnover, difficulty in raw materials, reduced consumers due to social restrictions and regulations. the distribution system was also obstructed because of the social restrictions imposed by the government. Second, the researchers also looked at the moral economic behavior & safety first of MSME actors in two categories. The first category is the one that has a positive impact on the behavior such as improving the quality of production, keeping product prices affordable, and maintaining good relations with consumers to form consumer loyalty to MSMEs. Then, for the second category, those that have a negative impact on the sustainability of MSMEs in the midst of a pandemic can be seen in the use of conventional marketing methods, lack of innovation in products and some even implement a “loss-sold” as long as it can be sold; strategy because of lack of product quality and to minimize losses.

In various regions of Russia, there is some sort of crisis in the handling of municipal solid waste. The National Project "Ecology" is aimed at solving this problem, as well as the federal projects "Integrated system of solid municipal waste management" and "Implementation of the best available technologies". However, in the processing and disposal of waste, the problems of preserving the environment (ecology) often come into conflict with the financial component of the development of the industry (economy). The aim of the study is to determine the integrated environmental and economic efficiency of waste management at the regional level. The study considers the scheme of the technological process for the processing of municipal solid waste and assesses the efficiency of replacing the technological equipment at the "EcoResourcePovolzhie" enterprise based in the city of Togliatti. The authors suggest modernization of separation technology to improve the efficiency of waste processing. With the replacement of the existing separators with drum separators, screens RMZ TR-4500, the efficiency coefficients of the sorting and extraction process, the percentage of selection of secondary raw materials, increase. The costs of replacing drum separators were determined, the economic effect and payback period of the proposed modernization were calculated, as well as the environmental effect of reducing the flow of waste to the landfill, extending the life of the landfill, reducing the risk of the release of hazardous components into the air in the event of fire at the landfill, soil pollution and aquatic environment, as well as reducing disposal costs.

The efficiency of introducing probiotics based on strains of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and their consortium in the amount of 150 g/t of feed into the diets of laying quails has been studied. The experiment lasting 182 days has been carried out on four groups of quails with 30 heads in each. The quails have been housed in the broiler battery in compliance with the required microclimate conditions. Quails of all groups have been received the main diet (compound feed) developed taking into account their age and physiological characteristics. The quails of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd experimental groups in addition to the main diet received probiotics (150 g/t compound feed) based on strains Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and their consortium, respectively. It has been found that feeding the laying quails of the consortium of strains Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis had the most significant positive impact on their productive performance, it allowed to increase egg production by 7,81 %, egg laying intensity by 5,0 %, egg mass yield by 9,77 %, while reducing feed expenditures for 10 eggs by 13,35 %. The yield of hatching eggs has been increased by 7,03 %, hatchability of chickens from laid and fertilized eggs by 8,33 and 8,35 %, brooding waste decreased by 21,74 %. Hematological parameters of quails during the whole experiment were within the physiological norm. The economic effect calculated on the basis of data on the cost of compound feed, probiotics and the cost of sold eggs of quail laying was 14,56 % in the 3rd experimental group (in relation to the control group).

Waste management is still defined as limited to collection, transportation and garbage disposal. The follow-up of the meaning is the provision of facilities such as garbage bins, garbage trucks and waste collection land. Waste management has not included waste separation. Segregation of waste can minimize the amount of waste that must be discharged to the final place. Segregation of waste can supply recyclable raw materials and handicrafts made from garbage. The manufacture of handicraft products from garbage is still local and requires socialization and training. It is needed to increase the number of craftsmen and garbage absorption on the crafters. Through careful socialization and training, citizens' awareness of waste management becomes advanced by making handicrafts of economic value from waste materials.

For more than half a century bicycle transport demonstrates its effectiveness as one of the elements of the transport network of the city. Currently, vehicles with low-power motors such as electric bicycle, electric scooter, gyrometer, segway, wheelbarrow, scooter motor and others are gaining people's attention. These vehicles can be combined into a group of low-speed individual vehicles (hereinafter - NITS) with similar re-quirements for the operational parameters of urban infrastructure. From the urban point of view, the interest in NITC is that the number of its users has increased significantly in recent years. The article presents the results of a sociological survey of residents of Serpukhov, allowing to assess the current and potential readi-ness of the population to use NITC. The growing popularity of NITC has led to an increase in the environmen-tal and economic effect, which is manifested at a particular level of development of the movement on NITC. The ecological and economic effect of the use of NITC has an extremely positive impact on the improvement of the urban environment. This article provides a list of indicators that reflect the growth in the standards of living of society from movement by the NITC, and the calculation of one of them - the increase in entrepre-neurial activity on the streets with increased traffic to the NITC. Indicators are necessary for calculation of complex criterion of efficiency and safety of street network due to development of the movement by NITC. The result will allow public authorities authorized to make decisions on the strategy of transport policy of cities to quantify the ratio of economic benefits from the development of infrastructure of the NITC with the cost of its construction and operation.

Nowadays, circular economy (CE) is on the agenda, however, this concept of closed supply chains originated in the 1960s. The current growing quantity of studies in this area accounts for different discourses except the holistic one, which mixes both approaches—contextual and operating (contextual approach utilizes the thorough examination of the CE theory, stricture of the policy, etc.; the operating one uses any kind of statistical data)—to assess the capacity of circular economy regulatory policy packages (CERPP) in operating raw materials and industrial wastes. This article demonstrates new guidelines for assessing the degree level of capacity (DLC) of CERPPs in the operation of raw materials and industrial wastes by utilizing the apparatus of the fuzzy set theory. It scrupulously surveys current CERPPs in three regions: the EU overall, Finland and Russia; and assesses for eight regions—the EU overall, Finland, Russia, China, Greece, France, the Netherlands and South Korea—the DLC of CERPPs in operating raw materials and industrial wastes. The results show that EU is the best in CE policy and its CERPP is 3R. The following are South Korea and China with the same type of CERPP. Finland, France and the Netherlands have worse results than EU with the type of CERPP called “integrated waste management” because of the absence of a waste hierarchy (reduce, recover, recycle). Russia closes the list with the type of CERPP “basic waste management”.
