Description
The project promoter intends to install a new equipment for glass packaging waste recycling line and implement new glass recycling technological solutions, which will significantly increase company’s productivity. Implementation of the project will help to achieve better glass recycling results, increase quantity and improve the quality of the recycled glass. With currently available equipment, the company produces products with impurities, which are acceptable on Ukraine and Belarus markets, but not in other EU countries. A new glass recycling line will allow the company to increase production exports to the EU countries that demand for better quality products. After project completion: 1) the company will have most modern glass recycling equipment in the Baltic countries, which shall increase Applicant’s competitiveness, 2) fuel used in the production process will be reduced by 59%, 3) energy consumption will be reduced by 58%.
Partner’s experience in implementation of environmentally friendly projects will be helpful for improvement of project promoter''s production processes, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions and energy resources. Partner will consult on technical aspects necessary for successful implementation of the project.
Summary of project results
During the implementation of the project, UAB "Ekobazė" was seeking to implement innovative environmentally friendly technologies and modernize the existing glass breakage production line, additionally purchasing high-tech sorting machines, conveyors, compressors and other necessary equipment.
The modernized production line significantly increased the company''s productivity, reduced energy consumption and, thanks to high-quality dust extraction technology, reduced the amount of glass dust entering the environment. The modernization of the production line and a fundamental change in the production process resulted in a high-quality product: clear, green, brown glass and the separation of ceramic, porcelain and stone impurities. During the project, a new production line was acquired and modernization of the production process was carried out. The uniqueness of the project is that the modernized line will allow to take into account the technical requirements of different manufacturers for the product and adapt quickly to them.
The benefits for customers will be great, as they will be supplied with sorted, extremely cleanly cleaned glass and we will be able to complete orders in a much shorter time.
Summary of bilateral results
With donor project partner the project promoter shared the examples of good practice, consulted on technologies that help to reduce energy consumption and solve waste disposal problems. At the end of the project, the cooperation between companies will not be interrupted.
