The Kyiv city government has started to design the first garbage processing plant, which is planned to be built in three years, reports citing.

“We abandoned the construction of incineration plants, preferring mechanical and biological processing.This complex is absolutely safe from the ecological point of view, it is almost the sorting of rubbish into the main factions and the maximum selection of useful, resource-valuable components from garbage. From such factories in the capital, foreign consultants help us in this matter, “- said” 44.ua “Deputy Chairman Petr Panteleyev ..

Panteleev recalled that only in and outside the capital is planned the construction of five waste-processing complexes. It is also planned to build similar waste-processing complexes near Kiev – this is in the northern and southern directions.

In total, we intend to build 4-5 such complexes. It’s about a 2-3 year perspective, “he added.

The factories will be able to receive up to 1.4 million tons of garbage a year, despite the fact that today produces 1.2 million tons of garbage.
