Experts confirmed their readiness to launch an eco-technology park in Kaluga

The waste sorting and processing enterprise, built near the village of Mikhali, Kaluga Region, is completely ready for work. This was stated by experts who recently examined the ecotechnopark and familiarized themselves with its technological units.

The Kaluga Ecotechnopark will be the first ecological and innovative facility in Russia for sorting and processing solid municipal waste. He will be able to process 1.8 million tons of garbage per year, passing one million through his two sorting lines. As a result, waste mass freed from valuable secondary raw materials will be sent for recycling, and metal, glass, plastic, electronic scrap, cardboard and paper, as well as organic fraction, will be used to produce new goods.

Kaluga is a long-awaited and very popular project. In his message to the Federal Assembly in 2020, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed introducing separate collection of garbage in the country and drastically reducing waste. But in order for the president’s initiative to work, a certain period of time is needed, and something needs to be done with garbage today.

The Kaluga Ecotechnopark and similar facilities in other regions will be able to solve the problem. According to experts, Kaluga is fully ready for commissioning, scheduled for the first quarter of this year.

- Ecological problems are part of my scientific activity, that's why I often

we have to participate in environmental impact assessment, we have already experimented with similar enterprises, ”says a professor at Kaluga State

University named after Tsiolkovsky Igor Lykov. “I like what is here.” The very concept of an ecotechnopark suggests that this enterprise is complex. That is, they will not only take garbage here, but also recycle it, implement the whole range of environmental measures.

The expert emphasized the sorting capacity of the waste recycling facility.

- A good enough line, a lot of sensors that sort metal, plastic, and glass. The most important thing is that all this will go into recycling, and will not just be stored somewhere, ”said Igor Lykov.

The head of the Veterinary Service of the Iznoskovsky District, Sergey Hamula, completely agrees with the assessment of the environmental professor.

- I think that the treatment facilities here are super. “I have been abroad many times, in America, in Canada, I have seen technology there, but this, I think, is not there,” said Hamula. - Local residents, residents of the district, everyone is happy.

Lykov and Hamula became participants in the excursion arranged for experts, bloggers and public activists by the leadership of the ecotechnopark. The guests of the enterprise were shown various areas of Kaluga - a filter station operating on German technology, a reception center with radiometric sensors and a license plate recognition system, a staff campus and others. All of them are in a state of full readiness.
