Ildus Nasyrov met with the delegation of the company Ultimate Waste Solutions
The meeting discussed issues of cooperation in the management of SMW. During the visit, members of the delegation were provided with information about the potential of the republic, as well as about the implementation of the waste management reform in the region. As noted by the deputy minister, since January of this year, Tatarstan, like other regions of Russia, has switched to a new system of solid municipal waste management. In the Republic, two regional operators were chosen, namely, LLC Management Company "PZHKH" (western zone) and LLC "Grinta" (eastern zone). Agreements with them have been concluded for 10 years. “Every year in Tatarstan 1 million 613 thousand tons or 12 million 443 thousand cubic meters of municipal solid waste are generated. Waste disposal is carried out at landfills included in the state register of waste disposal facilities that have a residual resource of allocated capacity. These landfills were created before the transition of the republic to a new circulation system and will be operated until the residual resource is exhausted - according to the Ministry of Construction, a maximum of 4 to 5 years. A territorially integrated scheme for the storage and processing of SMW was approved.” He also stressed that the country pays special attention to environmental safety issues.
In his speech, the representative of the British business Douglas Maggs noted that the company UWS is ideally suited to solving the problem of solid waste due to the experience in the sector “Energy from waste” and cooperation with technology suppliers. He also noted that UWS chose one of its technological partners in the United States to implement the project in Tatarstan. This partner designs and manufactures ultra-low-emission equipment, gasification and gas-liquid components, and cleaning systems. "ATT equipment has a modular design, which allows both phased construction and expansion of production capacity in the future." At the end of the meeting, the parties agreed on further cooperation and exchange of information.
