Introducing circular principles as part of a Green Industry Innovation project in a stone processing factory.

Company Cherkezov OOD since 2005 is working with the processing of marble, limestone and granite. Te goal to achieve within a project is to introduce water recycling into the production process and improve green performance of the company.  

Last but not least Cherkezov OOD is an active community stakeholder. Aside from its common business activities, its working closely with Strumyani Municipality, Blagoevgrad Municipality (the capital of the south-west region) and Blagoevgrad Chamber of Commerce due to the relevance of the project  for the regional economic and environmental development, which also go along with the strategy and values applied in IDN.

The investment done in the project will cover  installation of the wastewater treatment plant which will reduce water consumption in m3 per year – from 50 000 m3 to 5 000 m3 and in parallel in order to increase sales and business opportunities new polishing line will be installed in the factory.

IDN will provide in to the project knowledge, especially support in designing terms of reference, advisory in production layout and operation and most of all we will help to develop possible solution of efficient management of the waste and sludge obtained in the proces.
