YEREVAN, MARCH 17, ARMENPRESS: Deputy urban minister Karlen Gevorkian said the government was considering an investment plan proposed by a Swiss National Recycling Group (NRC) that wants to start a refuse cycling business in Armenia.
The deputy minister said the Swiss company said it was ready to settle the refuse problem of all Armenian settlements with 10,000 and more population. The investment plan, assessed around $at 200 million, envisages construction of five refuse cycling plants and import of a great deal of equipment. Gevorkian said the ministry and the Yerevan municipality have received some other proposals, particularly, from Russian companies which want to take up the business of garbage collection and recycling. He said all these proposals were being examined.
He said a grant pledged by the government of Japan will be used for constriction of a biogas collector in Nubarashen dump. Part of the gas will be used for production of electricity. He said similar tests are going on in Vanadzor and Gyumri dumps.
