Likewise, within the "green" economy based on the concept of ecological efficiency, solid waste becomes a specific form of raw materials. Solving the problems generated by them are in the sights of solid waste management.

To achieve this, available statistical data, expert opinions, and current legislation and policy documents in the field of solid waste management in the Republic of Moldova were examined.
