The plant is part of the project “Modernized waste management and recycling economy in respect of the environment”, which is funded by the German government with 4.8 million Euros (about 590 million ALL) and implemented by GIZ.
The composting plant started working in May 2021 and since then has generated 400 tons of organic matter in 300 tons of composted material, which is used to improve the quality of land in the municipality of Cërrik.
35,000 inhabitants of the municipality of Cërrik benefit from this project./m.m/p.s./
