Kazakhstan to build waste-to-energy plants in massive green infrastructure push
New smart recycling and energy facilities to be developed with Chinese firm Junxin as part of Kazakhstan’s sustainability drive
ASTANA, Kazakhstan (MNTV) — Kazakhstan is set to construct three new waste-to-energy plants as part of a $600 million green infrastructure initiative aimed at modernizing its waste management and power generation systems.
According to Kursiv Media, the investment was finalized last week during talks between Kazakh Invest and China-based Hunan Junxin Environmental Protection Co. Ltd. The project will bring together recycling, electricity production, and digital infrastructure, with additional plans for green data centers and specialized training hubs.
The initiative highlights growing cooperation between Kazakhstan and China in the field of sustainable development. In recent years, Beijing has expanded its green energy investments across Central Asia, while Astana has welcomed foreign partnerships to accelerate its transition to a more environmentally resilient economy.
Junxin’s chairman, Dai Daoguo, said the company would implement a full-cycle waste management system tailored to Kazakhstan’s urban environment. Kazakh Invest Deputy Chairman Azamat Kozhanov called the project an important step toward localizing green technologies and boosting smart infrastructure.
The partnership builds on Junxin’s prior work in the region and reflects the deepening of Kazakhstan-China economic ties, particularly in areas such as renewable energy, digital technology, and logistics.
