"Waste Management and the possibility of turning waste into energy" Seminar
fotoMr. Mihail Mateski, general manager of Greentech Ltd, participated as a lecturer at the "Waste Management and the possibility of turning waste into energy" Seminar, held at Apatin Municipal Assembly grand hall on February 28, 2013 and organized by Vojvodina Investment Promotion (VIP). The aim of the seminar was to present projects, experiences and challenges encountered by the existing foreign investors, as well as to educate the local governments’ representatives to form comprehensive scenario of the possible challenges during the project implementation whilst communicating with potential investors.

Keynote and welcome note were delivered by Mr. Zivorad Smiljanic, Apatin Municipality President and Mr. Aleksandar Stojkov, VIP director.

„It is estimated that it will be necessary to invest round about EUR900mn in Serbia by 2019 in order to completely solve the waste management problem in a sustainable way and in accordance with the National Strategy. The Serbian government will not be able to secure financing alone, without the involvement of domestic and foreign private sector" said Alexandar Stojkov, VIP Fund director. He said that there are several ways in for the foreign companies to get involved:

 
"They could get involved in:

  - Waste collection, transportation and disposal, as the Austrian company ASA is doing in Kikinda and Lapovo,

  - Recycling, such as Greentech Ltd with PET packaging recycling,

  - Waste incineration, within power plants or cement plants, as the case with Lafarge in Beočin, or

  - Waste to fuel production, with Energo Zelena recently coming to Indjija municipality and being engaged into animal waste management"

said Mr. Stojkov, adding that, on the basis of interests of the VIP Fund turning investors, there is a possibility for the landfill gas or electricity to be produced from waste in the foreseeable future in Vojvodina. He also cited the fact that, according to VIP Fund available information, there are seven foreign companies operating within the green economy sector in Vojvodina today, which invested EUR50mn and employed round about 700 people.

Mr. Mihail Mateski, general manager of Greentech Ltd. presented the Company; member of Romania based Green Group, annually recycling 50,000 tons of PET packaging waste and 10,000 tons of other waste plastic materials on the Group level. Capacity wise, Green Group is to become a leading European used PET bottles recycler by the end of 2013. The company set up its operations in Serbia in 2005, investing EUR1,5mn in the production facility in Mladenovo near Backa Palanka, with capacity of 600 tons per month, and employing 50 workers. During 2011 and 2012 Greentech invested RSD18mn in collection equipment procurement and its suppliers’ network infrastructure improvement. Mr. Mateski announced soon to be operative Serbian first "bottle to bottle" facility. Cornerstone for the new facility was laid also in Mladenovo back in November, 2012, as it will be the first facility in Serbia to recycle used PET packaging in order to produce RPET pellets - raw material for the production of new PET bottles.
