Abstract

The core of the article is two profiles of urban solid waste and recycling systems in large cities of Russian Federation: Moscow and Kazan. The special attention is given to issues of innovative waste treatment development in documents of territorial planning of these cities. Effective waste management and recycling using good world practices for waste treatment will continue to be a priority for Greater Moscow especially for new administrative boroughs (Troitsky and Novomoskovsky). City of Kazan plans to develop advanced industrial methods of waste treatment. Kazan is going to become the first “Zero Waste” city in Russian Federation up to 2025 year. The study shows that innovative system of waste management in cities is a multi-dimensional issue and needs to go with the current legislation and principles of environmental safety.
