Less than 2% of municipal waste is utilized in Bashkiria - Ministry of Ecology

Sergey Nikolaev

The share of waste treatment in Bashkiria today is 18%, and the share of recycling is less than 2% of the annually generated volume. Such data are provided by the Ministry of Ecology and Nature Management of Bashkortostan.

The lack of a full-fledged system of separate collection and disposal of waste leads to annual financial losses resulting from the disposal of 80% of untreated MSW, 20% of which are valuable recyclable materials, and 60% can serve as fuel or compost.

Today, the waste management infrastructure in the republic is represented by 14 waste sorting complexes, 33 landfills for the disposal of MSW (8 of which are filled by more than 90%), there are no MSW disposal facilities in the republic.

The low share of waste treatment and disposal leads to an increase in the number of waste disposal facilities, creating a problem of expanding the territories occupied by landfills. Illegal dumps pose the most significant hazard; there are more than 2000 of them in the territory of the republic today. It is planned to solve the processing problems primarily by attracting private businesses into this area.

“The interest of private capital in the field of waste processing determines the high dependence of profitability on the regularity and sufficiency of the supply of waste materials and the depth of processing,” said the Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Republic of Bashkortostan Niyaz Fazylov. “Therefore, it is of great importance while forming the waste disposal industry, when the existing infrastructure does not yet provide an attractive level of profitability, is the construction of waste sorting stations that produce high-quality waste sorting, the availability of necessary communications, road construction, the creation of an optimal logistics chain, and separate waste collection.”
