The goal of this project is to implement the new technology of Beverage Carton recycling by purchasing and installing innovative equipment.
Polymer Recycling, UAB established a combined packaging recycling factory in Lithuania.
Polymer Recycling, UAB acquired ownership of combined packaging waste recycling equipment and does not intend to sell it in the next 5 years.
The company is the first to recycle this kind of waste not just in Lithuania, but in all the Baltic countries. During the recycling process almost 100% of materials are used and recovered.
In addition, it necessary to point out that the usage of combined packaging has been increasing each year, as have the combined packaging waste recycling targets and regulations in Lithuania, leading to increasing demand for combined packaging recycling.
