This week, we have hosted a delegation led by representatives of the Secretariat for Environmental Protection and the Belgrade City Administration, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, along with experts from JASPERS (EU) and IPZ Uniprojekt. They are carrying out activities as part of developing the Feasibility Study for Waste Management System in Belgrade.
Vladimir Milovanović, Director of Beo Čiste Energije, presented the Public-Private Partnership Project and the activities at the Vinča Resource Recovery Center. These activities include waste disposal at the new landfill, recycling of construction and demolition waste, treatment of leachate, and waste thermal treatment at the EfW facility, where 340,000 tons of waste are incinerated annually, generating electricity and thermal energy for the citizens of Belgrade.
Given that 650,000 tons of waste were delivered in 2024 (which is 27% more than the contracted amount), proposals were also presented regarding potential future activities in response to the increasing amounts of waste arriving to the Vinča Resource Recovery Center.
Possible solutions for consideration include: the construction of a new EfW facility within the Vinča complex, the establishment of a waste sorting facility, and the installation of solar panels on the old landfill after remediation. These solutions aim to reduce the waste going to landfill and enhance energy generation from waste.
We wish our visitors great success in developing the study, which will serve as a foundation for future activities and long-term solutions in the field of waste management in the City of Belgrade!
