| Summary: | Municipal solid waste (MSW) management
system is one of the key components of a country's
overall environmental and resource efficiency framework.
Inefficient MSW treatment in Russia today is causing
negative environmental impact, and results in suboptimal use
of raw materials and energy. If Russia optimized its MSW
management policy and implemented modern technologies, by
2025 it could fully shift towards environmentally friendly
MSW management system and recover up to 45 percent of waste.
As a result, by 2025 more than 200 metric tons of MSW would
be recovered to raw materials and energy instead of
landfilling. This would require investing up to 40 billion
and would generate additional 2 billion in revenues from
recoverable fractions. |
