Recycling

Permanent environmental deterioration represents a huge international problem. If gone out of control this problem would have a very serious negative effect on the quality of our life and our health as well as it will destroy the natural environment we live in. This, mostly leading to environment deterioration is not the good handling of waste. Annually in Bulgaria accumulated are approximately 12 000 000 tons of household and industrial waste as about 7% of them are plastic waste or 840 000 tons.

What does waste management represent?

The waste management is an activity aiming to utilize waste as practical as possible. As waste we understand all that we throw away – from used light bulbs, cigarette bulbs, bottles of non-alcoholic beverages, yoghurt containers, no longer usable furniture, used bags of tea, crates, to paper and industrial waste. The best way we can use the waste is to recycle it.

The waste management includes their collecting, transportation and processing. Recycling of waste, re-use of materials and items, burning, piling on dumpsites and composting are considered waste treatment.

Recycling and buying ecologic products is the beginning in our hands and our responsibility to nature.

Управлението на отпадъците включва тяхното събиране, транспортиране и обработка.

Рециклирането на отпадъци, повторната употреба на материали и предмети, изгарянето, събирането на сметища и компостирането се разглеждат като обработка на отпадъци.

Рециклирането и купуването на екологични продукти е началото, което е в наши ръце и наша отговорност към природата.

Why should we recycle plastics?

preserving the non-renewable natural resources – for production of plastics used are 8% of the world demand of petrol and natural gas /4% as raw material and 4% as energy during production/
decrease of energy consummation

decrease of emissions in the air of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2)
decrease of quantities of gathered waste

How to recycle plastics?

The recycling process is carried out as follows:

1. Collecting plastic waste – household and industrial
2. Sorting it by type and color
3. Crushing it into large pieces using shredders
4. Washing and drying
5. Grinding with mills
6. Extrusion/grinded plastic is melted and then extruded as spaghetti which with special granulators are cut and received is the recycled plastic granulate, ready for reuse/. With this the cycle is closed – re-cycle.

The opportunities for recycling plastic waste in Bulgaria need further development and improvement. We set the beginning expecting your support and cooperation.

The plant's production uses green energy obtained from its own solar installation.
