This is probably the first photograph taken with a 200 mm telephoto lens from the new chimney of the expanding, modern waste incineration plant. (The photo was taken at the end of 2022). The chimney is still under construction and is already about 70 m high :-). It will be a tourist attraction, with an observation deck and green terraces located at its top. The investment will allow waste to be converted into energy and heat. Worth over 2 billion PLN, the project is being carried out by the Korean company Posco (with Mostostal as a subcontractor) and is scheduled to be completed in early 2024. The incineration plant is environmentally harmless. As part of the investment, a “yellow bag” sorting facility is also being built, where plastics and metals will be separated. Thanks to the new plant and the one already in operation, it will be possible to process 300,000 tons of waste annually, which accounts for 1/3 of the waste produced by Warsaw residents. As a result, less waste will be transported across Poland.
