Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change announced on February 23rd that a U.S. company, SAYAR LLC, will begin the processing of medical waste in a test mode in the city of Tashkent and the Samarkand Region.
An agreement on the project was reached with the American company following its delegation’s visit to the Samarkand Region, where company representatives inspected local medical institutions and examined the storage conditions and quantity of medical waste.
The disposal of medical waste will produce thermal energy which will be used to heat hospitals; special filters will be installed to prevent harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
