They correspond to European norms and standards and are compiled taking into account regional characteristics and environmental protection factors.

In February of this year, the Italian delegation already visited Transcarpathia and inspected several proposed locations for waste processing plants. Investors identified the Uzhgorod and Khust districts as the most promising for the construction of enterprises.

The term of construction of plants will be one and a half years. "Gesenu Ambiente Group" assures that the facilities of the enterprises will be able to function without interruption for 20-25 years.
