The main idea of “Ecometal Engineering” Ltd. is to close the full cycle of operations performed by the company and, most of all, completely reprocess the waste generated during the company’s main activities, namely: scrap left from end-of-life vehicles, electronics, household electrical appliances.

The construction of an unique plasma plant for waste processing and energy generation from end-of-life motor vehicles, electrical and electronic scrap and other wastes is in an initial phase. This new technology is extremely environmentally friendly thanks to:

• the end products of the process are completely safe filling agents and steam
• all kinds of waste can be treated in this process.

The plant was developed by the Swedish company ScanArc and adopted in several European states such as Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Spain and Hungary.

“Ecometal Engineering” Ltd. is expanding the wide range of ecological activities developed and implemented by it, by introducing the most recent technology of source separation of wastes – recycling centres produced by the Norwegian firm TOMRA. Upon acceptance, the packages (plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles and paper)are automatically scanned and sorted, mechanically compacted, so that one single recycling centre is equal in capacity to 40 source separation containers and, besides, in it 100% separation of the different materials is achieved.

The main effects are: reduction of a large percentage of the municipal waste,

,reuse of all the materials received, reduction of the environmental pollution caused by waste generation. Some indirect effects, but probably even more important in the present situation in Bulgaria, of the adoption of these recycling centers, will be considerable improvement of the community’s “environmental culture”. “Ecometal Engineering” Ltd. is planning to hold elucidating and educational campaigns addressing environmental protection.

An important prerequisite for the project implementation is also the fact that the company has all the technical and transport facilities required for the various cycles: from handling of the material collected to its reutilization.

The Wind Park Murgash Project contemplates construction and operation of a wind turbine park of total power output 300 MW in the vicinity of Peak Murgash situated in the mountain at an altitude 1100 m to 1700 m and 30 km to the north-east of Sofia. The Wind Park will be connected to the regional grid and will replace the conventional power generation based on fossil fuels.

Development of the Wind Park is to take place in several phases and at its closure there will be 240 turbines installed.

For the needs of the project site, Ecosource Energy has purchased more than 15 000 decares of land. The project documentation is ready and it is currently in the design visa phase.

The Murgash Solar Park Project envisages construction and operation of a park of photovoltaic modules with total power output of about 100 MW, in the vicinity of peak Murgash.

An eco-park and a “green” school will be built in the region of the wind and solar park.
