Overview
- An order signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin distributes co‑financing subsidies to Mari El, Mordovia, Dagestan, and Kurgan Oblast.
- Government support will fund six projects to build or upgrade facilities for sorting, recycling, treatment, and disposal of municipal solid waste.
- The measure operates under the federal Circular Economy project within the Environmental Wellbeing national program initiated on the president’s instructions.
- Kurgan Oblast expects about 2 billion rubles for a sorting complex rated at 160,000 tons per year, slated to open in September 2027, with a landfill to follow in November 2029, for total investment of roughly 3.8 billion rubles.
- The initiative aims to create a comprehensive waste system, increase processing, reduce landfill volumes, and move toward targets of 100% sorting and at least 25% of waste reused by 2030.
