The Latvian waste processor, Eco Baltia Vide, is undertaking preliminary work to develop waste processing infrastructure in the Cherkasy region. Working with EBRD programs, the company is looking at a potential investment of €4 million to resolve the acute issue of landfills. The Cherkasy region produces 1 million tons of waste per year, whilst only sorting 8% of household waste in its region said Alexander Skichko, the Governor of the Oblast (press office).
