During a working visit to the city of Rudny, Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov learned about the activities of companies implementing environmental and industrial initiatives, as well as the results of food industry modernization.

Environmental Safety and Waste Recycling

One of the key sites of the visit was the Rudny ABAT 2006 LLP solid waste landfill.

The regional akim noted that ensuring environmental safety and rational waste management are among the region's priorities.

A modern waste sorting facility with a capacity of 50,000 tons of waste per year has been commissioned in Rudny, compared to a demand of 40,000 tons. Furthermore, the company acquired a mobile facility for processing construction, wood, and other waste with a capacity of over 70,000 tons per year.

The total investment in these projects amounted to 389.9 million tenge, supported by Zhasyl Damu JSC and the Entrepreneurship Development Fund.

The implementation of these initiatives will improve the environmental situation, increase the level of raw material recycling, and reduce pollution.

"Creating an environmental culture requires systematic action—from the improvement of populated areas to the implementation of modern recycling technologies. The 'Taza Kazakhstan' program is aimed precisely at this," emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.

Development of Industrial Potential and Beverage Production

During the trip, the regional governor visited the Rudny branch of Firma Arasan LLC, one of the region's leading beverage producers.

Founded 25 years ago, the company produces legendary brands, including the well-known Kostanay drink "Grushevyi."

The production site has four workshops producing 16 varieties of draft beer, two types of kvass, non-alcoholic lemonades, as well as beer in aluminum cans and glass bottles.

The plant's production capacity is 100 million liters per year.

The plant employs approximately 400 people.

In recent years, the company has been actively modernizing its equipment, installing state-of-the-art systems from German and Danish companies Ziemann and Alfa Laval, which improves quality and expands its product range.

"Developing the processing industry is a strategic objective. It is important for domestic brands to establish strong positions not only in the domestic but also in the international market. Companies like Arasan demonstrate how high-quality products can become a regional hallmark," noted Kumar Aksakalov.

Meeting with Residents of Rudny

At the end of his working visit, Kumar Aksakalov met with residents of Rudny.

During the meeting, current issues related to the region's socioeconomic development, public amenities, employment, and quality of life were discussed.

The regional governor noted that open dialogue with residents allows for a timely response to public demands and improves the efficiency of local government bodies.

Visit Results

Summarizing the visit, the regional akim emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to the development of Rudny—from environmental projects to production support and job creation.

Kumar Aksakalov thanked the enterprises' teams for their work and contribution to the region's development, noting that the Kostanay region is consistently strengthening its position as an industrial and environmentally sustainable center of the country.
