“Already recorded existing facilities for sorting more than 20 million tons. This means that about 30% of the waste is already sorted – note the REO. – With proper tariff regulation and state support in 2024, the country will be sorted (taking into account the existing capacity) 90% of the waste. And this is without the separate collection”.
the company noted that the disposal (recycling) of selected secondary resources is developing, but this business is lacking of sorted raw materials. In addition, the branch disposal – unregulated. “REO can’t tell business where to build a cardboard factory or glass production. When will be launched the mechanism of extended producer responsibility (EPR) and will be subsidized processing, then the market will be open,” says the operator.
to Completely abandon polygons does not work, the waste will still go to the landfill, stresses REO. In fedchem include the construction of new and modern landfills, instead of those which are not provided with the necessary protection of soil and water.
In late April, the Chairman of the government of Victoria Abramchenko has approved the first draft of the Federal scheme of municipal solid waste management. It is an interactive map with the sources of waste, infrastructure and routes of municipal solid wastes.
the Federal scheme involves the creation and reconstruction until 2024, more than 850 infrastructure. If in 2019 were processed about 10 million tons of waste, but meant for recycling is about 5 million tonnes in 2024, the treatment needs to be 42 million tons of waste, and disposal of 25 million tons of waste. The final document will be approved in the autumn after agreeing it with the regions. “This is a big and complex in terms of quarantine work. After consultation with the regions and the approval of the scheme, it will be open to users, and each will independently evaluate the volume and quality of work”, – reported in REO.
the Ministry of industry and trade “RG” reported that the draft Federal scheme was received in the Ministry on may 15 and is now under consideration. “This is not the final version, the Federal scheme will be supplemented as objects for disposal and processing of waste, including through information received by us from the regions, – said the Agency. Now, based on the scheme of flows of wastes identified in the Federal scheme, we can trace the path of waste from a particular municipality to the objects of treatment, recycling and disposal, and to draw conclusions about the surplus or deficit of capacity for waste management in a specific region of the country. This is one of the main objectives in creating the Federal circuit”.
Capacity pererabthe waste was introduced across the country every year in accordance with the indicators set forth in the national project “Ecology”. According to him, the processing of 2024 shall be given 36% of household waste is 7% in 2019. In this regard, the construction of new waste sorting facilities will contribute their full load, and subsequently reduce landfill.
One of the leading utilizers of waste is construction materials industry. For example, in the manufacture of glass cullet is used. Until last year, in the absence of sufficient domestic capacity in the sample of broken glass from MSW, the manufacturers of this insulation had to purchase this vtorresurs in Belarus. In November 2019 in Kolomna was launched such a screening plant and glass wool went the Russian vtorsyre. In addition, Russian producers of glass can use up to 50% of cullet as raw material. It is small, to obtain it in sufficient quantity and required quality, stress in the Ministry.
the Ministry at the stage of amending legislation on this subject, we support the recognition of waste incineration to energy recycling, as it results in a new product – heat/electrical energy. “And this is the main criteria for defining the waste – added to the Ministry of industry and trade. – Waste incineration is a leading method of dealing with their disposal abroad. Almost half of all waste generated in households, are sent to incineration. For example, in Finland 99% of MSW recycled as materials or energy resources”.
While the Ministry clarifies that the issue of building the required number of facilities for energy recovery requires a detailed study with the professional community and the Ministry of energy to determine the level of impact on major power consumers.
“the Ministry has always advocated the priority of the secondary use of waste as a raw resource. And in 2016 when approving projects of incineration plants in Moscow region and Tatarstan Republic, the Ministry insisted on the inclusion in the draft mandatory conditions on the direction of the burning tails only sorting after extraction from MSW of useful fractions. This remark was taken into account. Since that time, this topic is settled and does not require further emphasis,” – believe in Department.
Vice Premier of Victoria Abramchenko has also repeatedly drawn attention to the need to create common economic policies for the treatment of MSW. “The key to a successful transition to the circular economy will be the creation and implementation of strategies for treatment and use of waste that Budem aims, including encouraging the use of recycled materials. REO, among other things, was requested to appear on fedchem power for recycling plastic, cardboard, glass, aluminum and other secondary material resources”, – reminded the “RG” in the office of the Deputy Prime Minister.
the Cabinet is made developed by the Ministry of the draft law on promotion of utilization of recycled resources. The document provides for the inclusion in the legislation on industrial policy section on resource. The main message of the bill in terms of TKO is priority use of the useful fractions of MSW as a raw resource for the production of industrial products.
According to the Professor of Moscow state University, the UN expert on chemical safety, Vice-President of the Academy of natural Sciences, member of the European Committee “Chemistry and environment” Valery Petrosyan, the EU has never published any legislative prohibitions on the incineration of waste. “In 2017, the European Commission communiqué “the Role of waste-to-energy in a circular economy” was actually written that it is necessary to restrict the burning of waste. However, this recommendation applied only to those countries where the share of thermal processing is already over 50% of all waste. For those countries where the proportion of burials is still high, communiqué on the contrary recommends to build new facilities,” he says.
it is Important that the new integrated waste management system was built taking into account the hierarchy of waste management, where the priority is the consumption reduction, separate collection, most all usable fractions and their processing, and only after that – recycling residual “tails”.
last week it became known that rostec, Rosatom and VNESHECONOMBANK.The Russian Federation has signed an agreement to build at least 25 plants for energy recovery of municipal solid waste has passed the sorting. The plants will service the largest tourist centers of Russia and agglomeration with a population of not less than 500 thousand people. The operator of the program will perform the “RT-invest” (“daughter” of Rostekh), which is already building four waste incineration plant technologies Hitachi Zosen INOVA – three in the Moscow region, one in Tatarstan. “The agreement on 25 plants for energy recovery of waste per unit taken plants with a capacity of 550 thousand tons per year. In total, the plants will be able to annually process about 14 million tonnes of waste. This will prevent the occurrence of more than 80 new landfills, close 25 existing and save about 60 thousand hectares of land. By area, it can be compared with the entire Paris or Kazan,” – said in the “RT-invest”.
