Serbia rounds up recycling process - Bozic i sinovi are building new facility for overall EEW treatment, works totaling EUR 7 m
When it starts operating, Recycling center Bozic I sinovi will be able to manage almost all kinds of EE waste in quality manner in line with current European directions.
Facility for
cooling devices treatment was bought from a renowned Italian company, FORREC
which produces a part of its equipment in
our country as well which is a special convenience since, thanks to speed
faster and cheaper servicing when necessary is possible. Basic operation in new
facility implies cutting of waste into granulates which the system of
separators can split without hazardous effect on environment.
In order to achieve
higher treatment degree, Bozic I sinovi have this year invested in purchase of
machine for recycling of cathode pipes - - CRT monitors. They are also planning
to buy a few same machines for several towns in Serbia in order to decrease transport
costs as well as risk of transport of this kind of waste.
Investment totaling millions
When everything is
completed, total investment in the plant will reach seven million euros.
(Nikola Egic, company manager at Bozic i sinovi and Jovica Bozic, owner) If all conditions and plans are met, quantity of treated waste at Bozic I sinovi in the next year could be more than 5-6.000 tons and the number of employees could increase up to 200 in the company and 200 new collectors more to be hired indirectly.
- If it is to judge upon the words of the Prime Minister of Serbia that "everyone who hires one worker is a hero ", it turns out we are 200 times heroes and the biggest greenfield investment in South Banat in the last decade – Jovica Bozic, owner of Bozic I sinovi says for eKapija.
Company head, Nikola Egic, adds that with good organization and quality resource distribution, in the next period, this recycling center could treat 13 thousand tons per year, for which it has the license, even more than that.
Jovica Bozic
outlines that Serbia has enough processing capacities with which it can fulfill
objectives EU set for us but that it is necessary to work on collection network
development.
New projects
- Even with the will
and wish of local Panecvo authorities to make the facility operational as soon
as possible, and support which is not missing, a large number of regulations and laws slows us down – Bozic says
and explains that numerous plan documentation have been in developmental stage.
- We took on a
large part of obligations, even funding of plan documentation to speed up the
process.
Even better investment terms essential
As a man from the English diaspora, Bozic claims that others from diaspora as well would invest significant funds in Serbian economy since investment terms have significantly improved, especially when it comes to macroeconomic aspect , although, he says, it appears that local authorities still cannot or do not want to follow new, dynamic program of the Government in an adequate manner and with bureaucracy obstacles they slow down and make implementation process for investment projects such as this one, more difficult.
