MINSK, 8 December (BelTA) – Belarus can supply Russia with modern technologies and equipment for water purification, water treatment, and water disposal and can design and build waste management facilities. Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Piotr Parkhomchik made the statement as he met with Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Viktoria Abramchenko, BelTA has learned.

Belarus is busy developing a system to manage solid municipal waste taking into account the world’s cutting-edge practices in this field. Certain results have been accomplished in the last few years. “We try to process secondary raw materials as much as possible in order to get an additional product. We intend to increase the rate of municipal waste recycling to 64% as of 2025,” Piotr Parkhomchik said.

He put forward several cooperation proposals. “We are ready to offer the services of construction and design of waste management facilities in Russia’s territory,” the deputy prime minister said.

The implementation of a pilot project to recycle tires to produce rubber granules in Voronezh Oblast to the order of the Russian Environmental Operator is a successful example of cooperation in this field. Belarusian companies offer the entire range of services starting from engineering and ending with supply of process equipment of their own make and the equipment’s commissioning. “We can continue working in this area. Our enterprises are ready,” Piotr Parkhomchik added.

Another promising cooperation avenue is sales of modern technologies and equipment for water purification, water treatment, and water disposal. “We are dealing with the problem in Belarus. Treatment plants are made by several enterprises. We can fabricate the necessary amount,” the deputy prime minister stressed.
