Description

Investment project.

The project consists in constructing and operating a state-of-the-art waste sorting facility to process large volumes of mixed recyclables, as well as receive more diversified materials. The project promoter will apply new technology, novel on a company level. ELDIA will collaborate with NGN, the Norwegian leading company in the field of waste management, which will provide advice during construction of the facility, and impart its know-how and experience on efficient waste management, specifically regarding waste sorting performance and recycling.

 

Summary of project results

The new state-of-the-art waste management facility is in full operation since 01.07.22. ELDIA has also signed contract with their main client for additional waste tonnage to be processed in their new facility. In parallel with the project implementation, ELDIA underwent, with their own funds, an upgrade of their offices, adding a floor to their building. 

Summary of bilateral results

The 2 partners are very happy with the results of the partnership. The project promoter has underlined the significant contribution of NGN with sharing experience for the optimum operation of the new facility and advising on safety issues. The partnership is estimated to continue after the project implementation.
