In the Brest region, by 2025 it is planned to put into operation three complexes for the sorting and use of solid municipal waste and landfills for them. Each complex has its own service area: Brest – Brest, Brest, Zhabinkovsky, Malorita and Kamenets districts, Baranovichi – Baranovichi, Baranovichi, Lyakhovichi and Gantsevichi districts, Pinsk – Pinsk, Pinsk and Ivanovo districts.

At the moment, the implementation of the regional approach of the Brest zone is almost completed — the Brest waste processing plant receives waste from the territory of Brest, Brest, Zhabinkovsky and Kamenets districts, and the disposal of the remaining part of the waste after sorting takes place at the regional MSW landfill. The annexation of the Maloritsky district will be carried out after the landfill operating in the district is completely filled. In Baranovichi, the sorting complex was reconstructed, increasing its capacity to 74.8 thousand tons. The line is already receiving waste from the territory of the Baranovichi district, the remaining areas will be connected after the expansion of the regional landfill. For the Pinsk complex, it is planned to complete the reconstruction of the regional MSW landfill in 2023.

Effective waste management contributes to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 1213 and other SDGs.

In recent years, propane-butane gas for automobiles has been gaining increasing popularity. In order to make this type of fuel as accessible as possible, the gas station company «Belorusneft» is introducing new approaches. One of them is remote refueling of cars without the direct participation of a gas station operator, allowing customers to independently refuel their vehicle with propane-butane gas.

To date, 12 gas filling stations have been fully equipped and have the ability to operate in a similar remote format. By the end of 2023, it is planned to increase their number to 51, and there will be at least 226 such gas stations in 2025.

When using gas fuel, fewer pollutants are released into the atmosphere, which contributes to the Republic of Belarus achieving Sustainable Development Goal 13 and other SDGs.

Цель 17
Сотрудничество стран для решения Целей устойчивого развития

Чтобы наш мир стал лучше, все страны должны сотрудничать.
Ни одно государство не справится с проблемами самостоятельно.

Для решения проблем голода, нищеты и защиты окружающей среды
богатые страны должны помогать бедным странам.

Богатые страны должны направлять часть своего дохода
бедным странам.

Богатые страны должны делиться опытом, знаниями
и результатами научных исследований.

Бедные страны должны продавать свои товары
не только внутри своей страны,
но и на рынках других стран.
Это увеличит доход бедных стран.

Для достижения Целей устойчивого развития
каждая страна создаёт свою программу и выполняет её.
Каждая страна готовит отчёт о выполнении своей программы.

Для достижения Целей устойчивого развития
к две тысячи тридцатому году страны договорились:

  • всем странам выполнить свои программы
    по достижению Целей устойчивого развития
  • делиться опытом и знаниями в науке и торговле
  • делиться новыми способами производства товаров
  • оказывать денежную помощь бедным странам
    для развития энергетики, транспорта, строительства дорог
    и для защиты окружающей среды
  • чтобы люди всех стран имели доступ к информации в интернете.

Каждый из нас может сделать мир лучше, если будет:

  • делиться знаниями и опытом друг с другом
  • помогать другим людям.
