Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 58 "Organization of the system for handling municipal solid waste". The work was attended by the management of relevant departments, industry companies, heads of regions and representatives of the Federal Assembly.
Dmitry Patrushev reported that construction of industry infrastructure continues in the regions. The capacities that will appear in 2025 will ensure the processing of more than 1.5 million tons of waste.
"To implement the instructions of the President of Russia and move to a closed-loop economy, it is important that each new facility meets all modern requirements for sorting and environmentally sound disposal. The Russian government is expanding opportunities to increase the pace of commissioning modern waste management facilities. In 2025, 19 regions have been granted the right to conclude concession agreements for the construction of industry infrastructure without a tender. Thanks to this, by 2028, 37 waste management facilities with a total processing capacity of 4.5 million tons should appear," said the Deputy Prime Minister.
The Deputy Prime Minister drew the attention of the heads of the subjects that have already concluded concession agreements to the importance of detailed development of the project implementation deadlines and their integration into the incident information system. This will allow possible deviations to be seen in real time.
The Deputy Prime Minister also added that on-site inspections of facilities have proven their effectiveness, and this practice will be continued on a systematic basis.
One of the most important indicators of the effectiveness of the waste management reform is the order at the container sites in the yards. According to Dmitry Patrushev, over the first eight months of this year, the regions have equipped almost 5 thousand container sites and purchased almost 36 thousand containers.
The fleet of special equipment is being actively updated. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 600 units have been purchased in the regions, a third of them through the preferential leasing mechanism. Dmitry Patrushev instructed the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Russian Ecological Operator to only proceed from real requests when expanding the list of equipment types purchased through this mechanism.
Incident No. 58 “Organization of a system for handling municipal solid waste” was created on the instructions of the Chairman of the Government to ensure the implementation of reform in the area of waste management.
When working in the incident format, a special project management system is used, which is deployed on the basis of the Government Coordination Center. It allows for prompt coordination of the actions of participants and monitoring of project implementation in real time.
