Belarus's Ambitious Waste Plan: 90% Utilization by 2040?

Belarus Sets Ambitious Waste Management Goal: Can 90% Utilization Be Achieved by 2040? MINSK, BELARUS – In a recent government meeting, Belarusian officials debated a new waste management strategy aiming for 90% utilization by 2040. The ambitious plan sparked discussion about its feasibility, given the country's current infrastructure and resources. One official stated, "The goal is ambitious, but we see the possibility of achieving it if all the measures outlined in the strategy are implemented." However, concerns were raised about the timeline. Another participant noted, "These deadlines are not suitable. It's our resources, and this dirt pollutes the environment. We need to take this dirt, recycle it, and make it into resources." The debate highlights the challenges and opportunities facing Belarus in its efforts to improve environmental sustainability. The 2040 target, though ambitious, represents a significant commitment to addressing waste management issues.
