Sustainability
Our vision is to integrate social and economic development as well as environmental protection within sustainable development.
Polymer development and circular economy are related primarily due to the lifespan of plastics. The use of polymers as well as their recycling are very important for our company. We believe that this is of great importance to society and we actively promote recycling.
Recycling
Balkan Polymers has made a project to build a recycled plastic factory in Bulgaria and we are in talks with European funds over financing.
Polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene will be recycled and the annual capacity should be around 40,000 tons of recycled plastic per year.
The group has a plan to distribute recycled materials throughout the region and the long-term strategy involves opening new factories - in Serbia and Romania.
All materials we sell:
- are tested and safe to use
- can be recycled
- have all the necessary certificates
- are of exceptional quality and have minimal impact on nature
