The first plant for the processing of marine waste oil in Serbia, worth one million euros, was opened on Tuesday in Kladovo.
“This project is of great importance for Serbia, due to fact that all ships oil by now was poured in the Danube, which will now be stopped,” said yesterday the Minister of environment, mining and spatial planning of Serbia, Oliver Dulic.
Dulic said that “there is no more explanation and justification that ships can not fit in Kladovo and solve the problem of waste oil produced by.”
“This is the only plant of this kind in Serbia, but is sufficient for the capacity of our waterways,” Dulic said, adding that Serbia has been so far the only Danube country that did not have such a recycling center.
As he explained, after processing of the recycled oil raw material that will be created wil be used for making roads and asphalt.
Dulic also recalled that the obligation of all restaurants and other plants that produce drops of oil to recycle them.
Recycling center Delta director Mladen Genčić said that in Kladovo will be processed from 3,000 to 5,000 tons of oil per year.
Genčić said that the processing capacity will depend on the quality of oil that is recycled and will be higher if the oil quality is better. Minister of Environment pointed out that “recycling is profitable economic sector.
“Thanks to the new environmental policy in the recycling industry we will open new 8000 jobs by the end of the mandate of this government in recycling industry and renewable energy sources will be employed 10,000 people,” said Dulic.
