Greenpeace Russia calls on all Muscovites who are not indifferent to the problem of waste to apply to the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, with a request to implement a full-fledged city program for the separate collection and recycling of waste.
For this, an action has been organized, within the framework of which any Internet user can send a letter to the Mayor of Moscow explaining the problem of waste in the city (about 20% of all municipal solid waste in Russia is generated in the capital and the region) and with a request to develop a regional waste management program in Moscow, aimed at implementing the principles of the concept of "Zero Waste - Zero Waste" (Zero Waste).
This program proposes to provide:
- waste reduction measures;
- targets for reducing the volume of waste sent to landfill by 2030 in the amount of 25% or less;
- targets for increasing the amount of waste sent for material recycling by 2030 by 75% or more;
- introduction in 2016 of a city-wide system for separate collection of waste, which provides for the availability of containers for separate collection at all sites for the collection of MSW in the residential sector;
- the decommissioning of waste incineration plants and the refusal to build new thermal waste treatment facilities.
