A new waste processing plant with an annual capacity of 300 thousand tons will be built by the end of 2024 in the Orenburg region. This was announced on Tuesday by the head of the Russian operator Denis Butsaev in his Telegram channel.

"We discussed the development of local infrastructure with the head of the region, Denis Pasler, and concluded an important agreement - a complex facility will be built in the region. Annually, 300 thousand tons of municipal waste will be processed at the facilities of the new enterprise. The waste processing complex will be located in the central zone of the Orenburg region and will be built to completion 2024," Butsaev wrote.

According to him, the launch of the facility will allow the region to almost fully achieve the targets of the national project for 2030 to process 100% of waste and reduce waste disposal by 50%.

"The implementation will be based on an investment agreement. The REO is ready to finance up to 90% of the cost from the funds from the issue of its bonds - this is about 3.89 billion rubles," the head of the REO specified.

The reform of the waste management industry began in Russia on January 1, 2019. It is designed to make waste management more civilized, solve the problem of illegal landfills and significantly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. In total, by 2030, 868 waste management enterprises should be built or reconstructed. It is planned to send 100% of household waste for processing or sorting, of which only 50% will be sent to landfill. As of the end of 2022, the share of waste sent for processing (sorting) was 50.2%, for processing - 12%.
