Nolato in Hungary sells its waste

These days, waste is a valuable resource that shouldn’t be thrown away. It is environmentally significant, and may even be profitable.

Nolato’s major production plant in Hungary is a case in point. For several years now they’ve been selling almost all of their waste to a company that processes it for recycling and further use.

“We’ve sold 87 percent of our waste over the past few years,” notes Ibolya Fodor, who is an environmental engineer at Nolato Hungary. “It includes plastic waste from production, paper, packaging, foil, metal, wood and electronic waste.”

The company that buys the waste has its own plant on Nolato’s production site, where the waste is taken care of. It is sorted, baled and prepared here for further processing.
