UN Resident Coordinator Didier Trebucq recently visited a plastic packaging producer in Kakheti, supported by the European Union in Georgia and UNDP Georgia. The enterprise collects, recycles, and reprocesses plastic waste from the streets of Telavi and nearby villages.
Now recycling around 30 tons of plastic per month, the enterprise has achieved impressive economic results, having created 8 permanent jobs for Kakheti residents; reduced dependence on imports by 50%; cut production costs by 20%; and increased productivity by 30%.
