TeraPlast Group received the financing agreement for the project "Establishment of a new production unit for TeraPlast Folii Biodegradabile SRL"
TeraPlast Group received the financing agreement for the state aid project submitted by TeraPlast Folii Biodegradabile SRL. The project is worth almost EUR 12 million in total, out of which approximately EUR 5,8 million represent the state aid.
"The financing agreement we received is further proof that the state supports the development of the Romanian companies. Besides the 93 new jobs we will create we will offer Romanian products on a market where 46% of the total consumption comes from imports. Thus, we will add value to both the local community and the Romanian economy. We will contribute to equilibrating the trade balance in a rapidly growing sector. We would like to see more Romanian companies making such investments in areas where Romania is a net importer. Through the investments we made so far, we showed that it is possible" stated Mr. Alexandru Stanean, TeraPlast's CEO.
Within the project, state-of-the-art equipment will be purchased, and a new factory will be built. The project also takes into account a responsible production flow, thus the technological process includes equipment for recycling the waste resulted from the own production for the reintegration in the manufacturing workflow.
The bags and sacks manufactured by TeraPlast Folii Biodegradabile SRL have a biodegradation degree of at least 90% and will be "OK Compost" certified as of SR EN 13432.
This project is the second project for which TeraPlast Group received the financing agreement in 2020. The first submitted project implies the expansion of the existing production capacities of the
