Every year, a number of countries celebrate an important environmental date — World Recycling Day. The goal is to draw the attention of society and the state to the problem of environmental pollution and limited resources.

For all countries, including Uzbekistan, reducing household waste and landfills is one of the most important tasks. Recycling helps to solve this problem, because it allows you to get rid of a large part of the waste with benefit, as well as save resources.

The problem of increasing waste and limited resources is becoming one of the most urgent problems today. Waste is increasing from year to year.

In developed countries, 40-60 percent of household and industrial waste is recycled.

What work has been done in Uzbekistan in this regard?

In accordance with the resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated December 15, 2020, the system of separate waste collection is being gradually introduced in the republic in the following order:

Stage 1 - in 2021, household waste was divided into "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" waste at waste collection points in residential areas of the city of Tashkent.

Stage 2 - in 2022, the collection of household waste divided into "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" categories began in Tashkent by the State Unitary Enterprise "Maxsustrans".

Stage 3 - in 2024-2028, the system will be gradually introduced in the territory of the Republic according to the categories of "recyclable", "non-recyclable", "organic", "hazardous household waste" and others.
