Abstract
This article examines the features and priority areas of national policy implemented in Russia and China in the field of waste management using the example of the main strategic planning documents, as well as the legislative framework for regulating relations in this area. This topic is extremely relevant in the context of the objectively existing need to solve the problems of waste generation, their negative impact on the environment, living conditions of the population, which requires taking measures aimed at ensuring a favorable environmental situation and environmental rights of citizens, the transition to a closed-loop economy. The purpose of this study is to identify common trends, legal mechanisms and positive Russian-Chinese experience in implementing the most significant political and legal decisions aimed at achieving national goals of ensuring environmental well-being in terms of reducing the amount of waste generated, increasing their recycling and disposal. The use of the comparative legal method allowed us to analyze the approaches used in Russia and China to solving the problems existing in this area, as well as to draw the main conclusions and substantiate the proposals set out in the article, aimed, among other things, at clarifying the conceptual apparatus, waste classification, requirements for processing, recycling and rendering harmless municipal (household) and industrial waste, and effective management of their circulation.
