Tajikistan Unveils Solid Waste Management Strategy to 2040
Tajikistan has developed a draft solid waste management strategy targeting 2040, alongside a 2026-2030 action plan. The strategy aims to modernize waste management practices, addressing growing waste generation and aligning with international environmental commitments.

Tajikistan's draft national solid waste management strategy through 2040, presented on July 23, aims to address the annual growth of waste, which reached 1.6 million cubic meters in 2025. The action plan for 2026-2030 includes updates to legislation promoting circular economy principles and extended producer responsibility, as well as initiatives for landfill modernization and waste-to-energy technology.
The Dushanbe administration's ongoing plans for a waste-processing plant, initially announced in 2020, remain unfinished despite support from international financial institutions. The strategy aligns with Tajikistan's commitments under various international agreements, indicating a move towards improved waste management practices.
