Slovakia's Largest Waste Processing Facility Moves Closer to Construction
Share:
A major waste incineration facility planned by oil refinery Slovnaft is nearing approval after an expert assessment commissioned by Slovakia's Environment Ministry recommended the project proceed. The facility would become the country's largest waste processing plant with a capacity of 220,000 tons annually. The development comes as Slovnaft, which has lost profitable business from Russian oil due to sanctions, seeks to diversify into waste processing. Critics have raised concerns about the plant's potential environmental impact and fears it could lead to increased waste imports from neighboring Hungary and other countries, adding to pollution in the region.
