production on processing of PET-waste in paving slabs in the territory of a
waste sorting complex in Seversk (satellite town of Tomsk) in 2018, the head of
the regional department of natural resources Sergey Trapeznikov told journalists

Earlier it was reported that the
first licensed line of garbage sorting with a power more than 40 thousand tons

to waste recycling plants of the Russian Federation today.
"It is possible to sort as much
as necessary, the main thing is where to use it. Now the whole country works
for sorting, and there not so many refinery capacities. We bring, for example,
to Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Naberezhnye Chelny, but we need to develop
something special. We really want to begin processing of plastic waste in
paving slabs next year here (in Seversk)", – Trapeznikov told.
According to him, the territory of
the Seversk waste sorting complex will allow to open small processing industry
at the beggining and to produce 200-300 qualitative curbstones in change.
Further this "compact" experience can be duplicated to districts of
the region. "Offers and how many it will cost are now studied. Business
wants, and the power intends to help, including to remove administrative
barriers", – he added.
As the director of the Seversk waste
sorting complex Dmitry Mitasov told journalists, the complex accepted and
processed about 26 thousand tons of waste in 2017 from which 6-7% on weight is
economically advantageous fractions. A favourite is plastic bottle about 100
tons of which is sent monthly.
Also he reported that today there is
a retrofitting at the enterprise which allows to work also with economically
unclaimed garbage." We had a press compactor of the German production. It
allows to increase the mass of a container which is taken out on the ground,
from 5 tons to 20 tons. It affects work of the ground positively, waste arrives
in the pressed state", – he said.
