Yamalo-Nenets Project Transforms Waste into Fertilizer, Cuts Fire Risk

A pioneering project in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is set to tackle two significant environmental challenges. It aims to transform a fire hazard, sawdust, into a valuable resource, restoring the fertility of depleted soils.

The innovative project, a new resident of the Yugra Technopark, will produce eco-friendly fertilizers from wood waste and mushrooms. Using accelerated composting and special mushroom species, it will process over 90% of wood waste in just 3 to 6 months. The resulting fertilizer is organic-mineral, offering a sustainable solution to the twin problems of fire risk at landfills and soil depletion.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the project promises economic advantages. It will produce glass locally, matching the strength and safety characteristics of European counterparts but at a significantly lower cost.

This project in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and innovation. By converting a waste product into a valuable resource and producing glass locally, it addresses environmental and economic concerns, marking a significant step forward for the region.
