'Recykling' gets big boost in the heart of

摘要

The word "recykling" is relatively new in the Polish language and culture. Only 39% of paper and board is recycled in Poland (the lowest in the EV), but this is quickly changing. With new collection and sorting infrastructure coming into place, Stora Enso's investment at its Ostroleka mill is timed perfectly. ANDRITZ delivered the complete recycled fibre processing line -and a unique reject treatment system. Nearly two million tonnes of valuable recyclable raw material goes to landfill or waste every year in Poland, mainly due to the lack of an effective waste management infrastructure. This is all changing in 2013 as Poland is establishing a common waste tax to fund the infrastructure development in order to meet European standards. The EU has directed that by 2020 at least 50% of the paper, plastic, glass, and metals in Poland's municipal waste must be sorted out and reused.
