VICTORY! Since 1992, NGOs have been fighting with a join
|
|
project of Italian (EMIT, Acqua) and Polish companies for the
|
|
construction of 56,000 tpa MSW incinerator in Warsaw. The
|
|
arguments they have used against the project include: the
|
|
Warsaw District Council decided on the location of the
|
|
incinerator before submitting an environmental impact
|
|
assessment (EIA) to the Warsaw Provincial Environmental
|
|
Department; the location of the incinerator is illegal, as
|
|
according to Polish law it is forbidden to construct in a city
|
|
any facility that would emit over 20,000 tpa of gases; there
|
|
is lack of complete information about the emission of heavy
|
|
metals from the proposed incinerator. In sum, the project has
|
|
violated 9 national and local regulations. Three NGOs: Waste
|
|
Prevention Association, Green Federation and Social Ecological
|
|
Institute have submitted the case to the Warsaw District
|
|
Council Court. Recently, on September 16, the Court has
|
|
recognised the arguments of NGOs and has decided that process
|
|
of location of the incinerator, and the EIA must be repeated,
|
|
must start from the very beginning. This precedential and
|
|
important decision will be another tool for the NGOs to stop
|
|
the project ultimately, unless it collapses of financial and
|
|
administrative reasons. <WPA>

CIBA-GEIGY. In July, Ciba-Geigy has opened the largest store
|
|
of pesticides in Poland. The store "Ciba Magazyn Agro" is
|
|
located in Warsaw, has 30,000 cubic meters cubature, has two
|
|
railways, is fully computerised, and protected (?) against
|
|
fire and outflow. It is expected that over 4,000 tonnes of
|
|
pesticides will be distributed annually from the store to
|
|
different countries of Central and Eastern Europe and
|
|
Commonwealth of Independent States. Aleksander Wyrwinski,
|
|
member of the company's board, said that "Ciba- Geigy will
|
|
extend the store. It will be two times larger in the future".

DRAWERS MADE OF PVC. A French company RHOVYL, based in
|
|
Tronville-en- Barrois, wants to sell in Poland clothes --
|
|
undies and sport dresses -- made of PVC fibre. Alan Regad,
|
|
president of RHOVYL, said that the company has come into
|
|
contact with a few Polish firms which have just prepared
|
|
examples of fashions to be produced for the Polish market.
|
|
POLO (Kalisz) wants to produce underclothes, also for
|
|
children; ZAKLADY WOLA (Zdunska Wola) would produce tights,
|
|
and WELDORO (Bielsko-Biala) "various assortment of clothes".
|
|
RHOVYL hasn't applied for the certificate (attest) to State
|
|
Institute of Hygiene (PZH), which is a legal requirement in
|
|
case where a new product is introduced on the market, and may
|
|
have the impact on the human health. RHOVYL has been producing
|
|
PVC fibre since 50's. In 50-60's it produced 13,000 tonnes of
|
|
fibre, but at the present production dropped to 4,000 tonnes,
|
|
although the capacity is 9,000 tonnes. At the past it employed
|
|
2340 workers, now 100 -- "because of the automation of the
|
|
production process". 25 per cent of the production is exported
|
|
to other countries of Western Europe and Japan. Annual trade
|
|
turnover is estimated at 120 million FF. Untill 1992, RHOVYL
|
|
belonged to RHONE PULENC. <Rzeczpospolita, 7.09.1994>
|
|
|
|
RECYCLING OF PET BOTTLES. Despite of proposed ban for import
|
|
and the construction of new production lines of PET
|
|
(polyethylene terephthalate) packaging, still appear offers of
|
|
set up the system of its collecting and recycling. The first
|
|
offer appeared a few months ago. The National Found for the
|
|
Environmental Protection wanted to establish a join venture
|
|
with Wellman International Ltd, one of the world's largest
|
|
plastic recycling company. They wanted to construct in the
|
|
central Poland a plant for melting of 5,000 tpa of PET
|
|
bottles. There the bottles would be cleaned, melted into bales
|
|
and then transported to the Netherlands or to Ireland to the
|
|
Wellman plant for recycling into fibre. Probably, this project
|
|
has fallen because of the problem to organise a central system
|
|
of collecting PET packaging and to gather enough material for
|
|
reprocessing. The second offer comes from a Polish company.
|
|
Chemical Plant "Blachownia" in Kedzierzyn Kozle announced
|
|
recently that it has developed a method of recycling the PET
|
|
bottles. In order to make the venture profitable "Blachownia"
|
|
needs 20,000 tonnes of PET annually. This amount matches the
|
|
yearly production of all Polish enterprises...
