During the seminar, it was noted that the Chinese company Shanghai SUS Environment, which has 20 years of experience in producing energy from waste, intends to implement several projects in Tashkent.

"Generating energy by burning waste is a good solution to the problem of reducing environmental damage. In addition, the energy produced and the heat source will be provided to residents, as well as factories and enterprises",  said Professor Jiao Xuejun, Chief Technology Officer of Shanghai SUS Environment. - "We examined the garbage dumps in Tashkent. Naturally, they pollute the environment. Based on China's experience, we strive to improve the ecology of the capital by solving the problem of waste pollution", he added.

During the seminar, attention was paid to the rating system of waste-to-energy projects in China, Japan, Europe, and the USA, and their current status was highlighted.
