Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi will implement a recycling strategy in a bid to reduce pollution, Tbilisi City hall has announced.
The strategy will be created in cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
"I think the strategy that will be created by the EBRD and Tbilisi municipality will ensure that very soon Tbilisi will step by step move towards a waste segregation system”, Kaladze said.
Kaladze added that recycling bins separating glass, paper and plastic will be installed in Tbilisi as a way to better manage the city’s ecological environment and reduce pollution.
The Georgian capital of Tbilisi will soon have an ecologically safe waste processing factory relevant to the European standards.
A memorandum was signed between Tbilisi City Hall and the KDV Georgia company that won the tender last year.
New inspectors will be authorised to fine individuals and legal entities for dropping household rubbish and other types of waste in the street.
Georgia’s coastal city Batumi is the country’s first area to implement a recycling strategy in a bid to reduce pollution.
People who throw litter from cars and other vehicles face fines of up to 120 GEL ($63 USD) under new law aimed at curbing roadside rubbish.
