Bishkek Mayor shows Belarusian PM waste processing plant

Bishkek Mayor Aybek Dzhunushaliev provided Belarusian Prime Minister Alexander Turchin with a tour of a waste processing facility in the Kyrgyz capital. The visit highlighted the plant's operations, which are designed to manage the city's waste effectively.

The waste sorting line at the Bishkek Sanitary Landfill began operations in December 2025. This facility separates recyclable materials, which are then sent to a separate plant on Ferre Street. At this secondary facility, the sorted materials are transformed into elements for urban infrastructure, such as benches and grates.

Notably, the technological equipment for these facilities was supplied by the Belarusian company "Sifania-Ecotekhnika." Prime Minister Turchin commended the plant's management, describing the system as well-organized and efficient. He specifically noted the successful implementation of a closed-loop cycle for waste management.

During the tour, the officials also visited an eco-technological plant that generates electricity from waste. This facility is being developed in phases, with the first block already operational. Future plans include a second block capable of processing up to 2,000 tons of waste daily. Once fully operational, the plant aims to process up to 3,000 tons of municipal solid waste per day and generate up to 90 megawatts of electricity per hour, significantly improving the city's environmental conditions and providing clean energy.

The entire complex is organized correctly. You have achieved a good closed cycle that allows for rational solutions to waste processing issues.
