Avermann-Holvex, a German-Hungarian-owned company, has started the operation of a glass recycling facility in Csömör, Hungary. The cost of the facility is around $560,000.
The plant can process a daily 6 to 7 tons of broken glass collected from selective waste points, breweries, bottlers and construction sites, according to published reports. The glass is ground into dust and most is sold to the glass factory in Oroshaza. Some of the glass is exported to the Czech Republic and Ukraine.
The company recycles 37,200 tons of glass a year with another plant it operates in northeast Hungary.
Avermann-Holvex expects revenue in 2009 to be about the same as the HUF 500 million in 2008.
