Business project rationale for the creation of an it product in the field of household waste management

Tatyana Prokopchuk, Yurii Litvinov

The article highlights the problems of irrational household waste management at the state level and substantiates the feasibility of using information support for the implementation of household waste sorting and recycling projects. The theoretical foundations for the development and implementation of sustainable household waste management projects are analyzed on the example of Germany, Poland, and Switzerland. An analysis of information development projects is carried out and an overview of the methodological foundations of effective practices for household waste management in an environmentally friendly manner and the use of secondary materials, which are key elements of EU environmental policy, is presented. The achievements of Ukrainian startups aimed at creating an appropriate ecosystem for waste sorting are identified. The role of the state in creating uniform rules for the rational management of household waste is analyzed in detail. The development of approaches to choosing a way to motivate stakeholders to manage household waste rationally through the creation of a digital platform for stakeholder interaction is demonstrated. A project for the development of a mobile application is proposed, which is an appropriate digital environment for motivating all stakeholders to sort waste. The application allows citizens to communicate with businesses and vice versa, under the supervision of public organizations in the legal field created by the state. The main stages of project creation are identified. The principles for forming a team and project budget are substantiated. The measures of quality assurance and risk assessment of the project are developed
