Gleb Slyvchak of the Chemical Engineering Department has considered the problem of solid waste in Ukraine. The main problem, in my opinion, is the low number of waste treatment plants in our country. Among the measures to improve this rather critical problem was proposed: sorting of solid waste, the introduction of processing plants, reclamation of land used as dumps, conducting educational activities among the citizens of our country and raise awareness of the general population.
