Waste management must comply with the principle of sustainable development. A green economy is one of the paths to sustainable development and response to environmental problems. Waste should be a raw material that can be reused, processed, or turned into energy. The aim of the article is to assess the relationship and present the concept of zero waste and green economy, and to show selected framework conditions for their development in the county. To study the formation of phenomena depending on the location of a given object in the socio-economic space, a synthetic measure, the similarity matrix, the Gini coefficient was used. The analysis took into account features describing the condition of the natural environment, links between the natural environment, economy and society, the quality of life of the population, economic policy, and instruments influencing the economy, society and the environment. Empirical data were obtained from the local database of the Central Statistical Office for the years 2010-2020. The obtained results indicate the existence of dependencies in the development of a green economy and waste management in the region. The synthetic measure of waste management is from 0.43 to 0.61 in 2010, from 0.39 to 0.55 in 2020; green economy from 0.42 to 0.55 in 2010 and from 0.43 to 0.56 in 2020. Waste management is based on multidimensional waste management, taking into account economic, ecological and social aspects. Economic activity is related to the degradation of the natural environment. The green economy should assume the elimination of waste and environmental threats and the preservation of their value. The green economy is becoming a factor inducing structural changes in the economy and social life, helping in the most effective, sustainable and efficient use of limited resources. In the literature on the subject, this type of research is carried out at the level of regions or voivodeships. The authors use their own sets of indicators or their own indicators aggregated according to the available data at the poviat level. The obtained results can be an important source of information for local government authorities about disproportions between units.
废物管理必须遵循可持续发展原则。绿色经济是可持续发展和应对环境问题的途径之一。废物应该是一种可以再利用、加工或转化为能源的原材料。本文的目的是评估零废物和绿色经济的关系和概念，并展示发展这些经济的一些框架条件。为了研究取决于给定对象在社会经济空间中位置的现象的形成，使用了一种综合衡量标准，即相似矩阵和基尼系数。分析考虑了描述自然环境状况、自然环境、经济和社会之间联系、人口生活质量、经济政策以及影响经济、社会和环境的工具等特征。实证数据来自中央统计局地方数据库，时间跨度为 2010 年至 2020 年。研究结果表明，该地区绿色经济和废物管理的发展存在相关性。废物管理的综合衡量标准在 2010 年为 0.43-0.61，在 2020 年为 0.39-0.55；绿色经济在 2010 年为 0.42-0.55，在 2020 年为 0.43-0.56。废物管理基于多维废物管理，兼顾经济、生态和社会方面。经济活动与自然环境退化有关。绿色经济应该承担消除废物和环境威胁并保持其价值的任务。绿色经济正在成为诱导经济和社会生活结构变革的因素，有助于最有效地、可持续地和高效地利用有限的资源。在主题文献中，这种类型的研究是在地区或省的层面上进行的。作者使用自己的指标集或根据可用的县级数据汇总的自己的指标。研究结果可以为地方政府当局提供有关各单位之间不平衡的重要信息来源。
