As part of the waste treatment reform, Ukraine is implementing the first major investment project: within two years, two modern incineration plants with a total processing capacity of 145,000-220,000 tonnes of waste per year will be built in Kyiv region.

“Two modern plants for household waste treatment will be built on the territory of Boryspil, Brovary and Fastiv communities. Their uniqueness lies in the use of several processing technologies at once. In particular, organic waste (food waste) will be processed with subsequent production of biomethane, as well as deep sorting of waste with the allocation of resource-valuable materials – scrap metal, glass and plastic,” the minister wrote on Facebook on Thursday.
The planned capacity of the common plant for the Brovary and Boryspil communities will be approximately 110,000-120,000 tonnes of waste per year, Fastiv – 35,000-100,000 tonnes per year. The construction period will be two years, the projects will be implemented at the expense of loans from European banks.

The minister specified that Kyiv region was chosen for the implementation of the reform, since amid the Russian full-scale invasion, the capital and the capital region demonstrated the stability and invincibility of the entire country.
