The facility has been established and equipped through the European Union funded “Introducing Construction Materials from Plastic Waste” (IES) under the Pilot Regional Development Programme (PRDP) initiative.
For the first time in Armenia, a startup recycling facility is being established in the community, which processes plastic waste into materials after passing several technological cycles and mixing with sand on a production line. In order to supply the startup with enough plastic waste, the project is creating infrastructure for its separation and collection all the way down from Yeghegnadzor to Meghri involving 9 communities in Vayots Dzor and Syunik marzes. The first batch of curbstones and street tiles will be used to improve public spaces in those communities that have supplied plastic waste for the line.
The two-year project’s budget is around €750,000, of which €510,000 is the European Union’s contribution. 25% of the project budget was funded by the Armenian Government and project implementers, the Urban Foundation for Sustainable Development and the Kapan Municipality.
