The waste management project of the Region of Western Macedonia was implemented by companies 100% subsidiaries of HELECTOR SA. The contractor of the Partnership Agreement is the specific purpose company EPADYM which signed the relevant agreement on 10/06/2015. The project was constructed by HELECTOR over a period of 2 year. The project commenced operation on 10/06/2017 and the operator is the company EDADYM. During operation, the project receives all the municipal solid wastes of the Region of Western Macedonia and in some cases municipal waste from other regions, which face problems with their waste management. The maximum processing capacity is 120,000 tons per year. The project produces 7 types of recyclable materials, Type-A compost and residues, thus achieving the binding targets of the contract, i.e. minimization of the residue destined for landfill to a percentage of less than 36%, diversion of the biodegradable fraction from landfill in a percentage of more than 80% and recovery of recyclable materials in a percentage of more than 35% relative to the incoming recyclables. The project includes 10 Transfer Stations, 1 Solid Waste Treatment Plant, 1 Waste Water Treatment Plant and a Sanitary Landfill for residues, providing thus the Region of Western Macedonia with significant opportunities to utilize the infrastructure in a variety of ways beyond conventional ones such as receiving and processing of different materials (materials from Sorting at Source) or the production of different products (e.g., secondary fuels).
