Program Objective
Promote sustainable urban waste management through efficient waste disposal and public education on waste segregation to minimize human impact on the natural environment.
Key Program Objectives
1. Efficient Urban Waste Disposal:
• Implementation of modern waste processing technologies, such as mechanical-biological treatment (MBT), pyrolysis, energy recovery incineration, and composting.
• Development of recycling and secondary raw material processing facilities.
• Introduction of automated waste sorting stations in urban centers.
2. Waste Segregation:
• Standardizing and simplifying the waste segregation system for residents (e.g., clear labeling on bins: plastic, glass, paper, bio-waste, metals, and others).
• Mandatory educational programs for residents, particularly targeting children and youth in schools.
• Digital tools to inform residents about segregation rules and locations of waste collection points.
3. Sustainable Waste Management:
• Establishment of “zero waste” infrastructure, where waste becomes raw material for further processing.
• Introduction of incentive programs (e.g., tax reliefs or discounts on municipal services) for residents and businesses that effectively segregate waste.
• Support for companies implementing eco-friendly production technologies and minimizing waste generation.
Program Implementation Stages
Stage 1: Education and Awareness
• Social campaigns in media, posters, schools, and online.
• Practical workshops, e.g., “How to Properly Segregate Waste?”.
• Development of a mobile app that guides waste segregation and locates disposal points.
Stage 2: Infrastructure Development
• Expansion and modernization of waste disposal and recycling facilities.
• Implementation of smart waste bins equipped with fill-level sensors.
• Creation of local repair and reuse centers (re-use points).
Stage 3: Control and Support
• Regular audits of waste segregation and processing in municipalities.
• Introduction of real-time waste management monitoring systems.
• Subsidies for local governments investing in disposal technologies.
Technologies in the Program
1. Automated Waste Sorting Facilities – Using robotics and AI for waste segregation on production lines.
2. Energy Recovery Incinerators – Eco-friendly incinerators producing thermal and electrical energy.
3. Bio-Waste Composting – Creating urban composting facilities to process organic waste into fertilizers.
4. Pyrolysis and Gasification – Converting plastics and hard-to-process waste into secondary raw materials.
Expected Benefits
• Reduction of waste sent to landfills.
• Improved air quality and reduced CO₂ emissions through energy recovery.
• Increased ecological awareness in society.
• Reduced waste management costs through more efficient segregation and recycling.
Program Partners
• Local Governments – Responsible for education and infrastructure.
• Enterprises – Implementing innovative technologies.
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) – Supporting education and ecological initiatives.
• Local Communities – Actively engaged in waste segregation.
The “Clean Planet” Program is a long-term initiative combining modern technologies with active public involvement to make our cities cleaner and more environmentally friendly.
