An innovative construction waste recycling site has been opened in the city of Bucha, Kyiv region, to restore and recycle materials that have accumulated as a result of the destruction during the war.
This was reported by Bucha Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk on Telegram.
According to him, this is one of the first Ukrainian sustainable and full-fledged waste recycling stations of this type. The opening of the site was attended by Peter Wagner, Head of the European Commission's External Action Service.
It is reported that according to estimates, about 75 thousand m³ of construction waste remained in the community after the demolition of the destroyed objects.
"From now on, the municipal enterprise Buchaservice will deal with the disposal and processing of this waste. Almost all equipment for the site was provided by UNDP Ukraine," said Fedoruk.
It is noted that from now on, waste can be crushed and sorted by fractions, and the final product can be repurposed for the needs of the community.
"This should also be an important step in the restoration and minimization of the impact of harmful substances on the environment," the mayor concluded.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Zhytomyr, up to 15 tons of garbage are processed every hour at the waste processing plant, from which raw materials are selected for reprocessing, and biofuel is also produced for the Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Zdolbunivskyi cement plants.
