Description
UAB "Polymer recycling" intends to establish beverage carton (BC) recycling factory in Lithuania. During this recycling process 100 percent of materials will be used and recovered. The aim of this project is to implement the new technology of BC recycling by purchasing and installing innovative equipment. Taking into account that all BC collected in Lithuania is being exported to Poland for recycling, UAB "Polymer recycling" would be the first material recycler of this kind, not only in Lithuania, but all the Baltic states. At this moment Lithuania struggles reaching its national goal of recycling BC, so the establishment of UAB "Polymer recycling" would not only ensure the implementation of the task but it would also increase the amounts of recycled waste. It is important to notice that UAB "Polymer recycling" would produce new products, which are ecological, competitive on the market and have wide usability.
