Recycling Opportunities to Increase in Tbilisi




On 17 July 2017, CENN, with the support of USAID/Georgia and in close
cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources
Protection of Georgia, opened the second recycling corner in Tbilisi,
located at the Ministry. The first recycling corner has been functioning in
Didi Digomi branch of Goodwill supermarket in Tbilisi since 4 August 2016.
Acting Deputy Mission Director Michael Rossman, Deputy Minister of
Environment and Natural Resources Protection of Georgia Solomon
Pavliashvili, and CENN Executive Director Nana Janashia opened the second
public recycling centre in Tbilisi. Such recycling corners help the country
implement modern principles of waste management that include saving
resources and getting economic effect by separating and subsequent recycling
of waste.  Separation corners offer an opportunity to local residents to
take their sorted waste: glass, aluminum, plastic, paper and dispose it into
the proper bin. Clean World Ltd. provides the transportation and the
delivery of the sorted waste to recycling companies. The Recycling Center
has been supported by USAID’s Waste Management Technologies in Regions,
Phase II (WMTR II) project.



The WMTR II program assists the Government of Georgia (GoG) in modernization
of the country’s waste management sector and supports sustainable
development and inclusive economic growth, ensuring responsible management
of natural endowments that will minimize adverse impacts from waste on human
health and natural resources.



WMTR II program is implemented in Kakheti and Shida Kartli Regions,Adjara
Autonomous Republic and the city of Tbilisi in the following focus areas:



*         Implementation of an Integrated Waste Management System

*         Private Sector-Led Recycling

*         Illegal Dumping Penalties and Tariff Policy

*         Public Outreach



WMTR II is implemented by CENN, with the support of United States Agency for
International Development (USAID).
