Mayor of Mariupol Vadim Boichenko with the EBRD Infrastructure Director in the Sustainable Infrastructure Group Susan Goransson has signed the ‘Agreement on the preparation of loan financing’. The document was signed in London during the Green Cities: Building a Better and More Sustainable Future for Cities conference. It will allow to attract about EUR 20 million of investments, some of which are grant funds.
EUR 20 million will be spent on a project to modernize the municipal solid waste infrastructure. Its goal is the reclamation of existing landfills, the construction of a new landfill and a plant for the treatment of solid waste. The French company Beten ingenierie will also help Mariupol in this. The complex will include minimizing the disposal of garbage at the city landfill and increasing its disposal to 60%.
An expert evaluation of the proposed options is underway. The following aspects are developed and considered: composting and sorting. It is planned the design capacity of the landfill to be 126 tons per year.
