Implementation and compliance with European environmental standards is a significant factor in ensuring the implementation of the provisions of the Association Agreement with the EU. Among the environmental problems that pose threats to national security are the processes of generating significant volumes of production and consumption waste, the insufficiently effective level of their reuse, recycling and disposal. The article analyzes EU directives in the field of waste and resource management, in particular Directive 2008/98/EC, Directive 2008/98/EC, and Directive 1999/31/EC, which are included in the Association Agreement with the EU. Ukraine's commitments under the Association Agreement in the field of waste and resource management are studied. Monitoring of the implementation of the action plan for the fulfillment of the Agreement in the field of waste management is provided for each year. The results of the study prove that aligning Ukraine’s legislation and regulatory framework in the field of waste management with European standards requires significant steps on the part of our state and the fulfillment of the Agreement’s commitments.
