The event was attended by the industry experts, officials, representatives of non-governmental and scientific organizations and foreign investors.

At the conference Mats Lundin presented the report about “Waste-to-Energy facilities in European countries”. He talked about the number of Waste-to-Energy facilities in different countries of Europe and the volume of processed solid municipal waste per year. He emphasized the advantages of the technology used at those facilities, and the fact that the production of energy from waste is widely used way of solid municipal waste disposal.

EcoEnergy Scandinavia along with Donetsk journalists who visited several incineration facilities in Sweden, had prepared a short video about the plant in Borlange, Sweden, that will be used as a prototype for the Waste-to-Energy facility in Donetsk city.

Donetsk journalists were invited to Sweden to visit these facilities where they filmed them and interviewed the representatives of the EcoEnergy Scandinavia, workers and people living close to the facilities under consideration. The workers and residents living nearby agreed that such facilities solve the problem of MSW and do not harm the ecology.
