EU continues to help Georgian companies to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions

BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 18

Tamilla Mammadova – Trend:

Two more Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) clubs have been established in the Georgian regions of Mtskheta and Kakheti, as part of the EU-funded EU4Environment project, Trend reports via the EU.

The RECP club is a group of 8-10 companies from either the same industrial sector or the same geographical area, which take part in an intensive training and coaching program for a period of about four months, culminating in the development of a customized RECP action plan by each member of the club.

The training modules cover the following areas: the business environmental profile, energy, water and wastewater, materials and waste, chemicals, and chemical waste.

As reported, the clubs will support the application of the RECP methodology among local manufacturing firms, helping them to green their businesses.

The new REPC Clubs bring together SMEs operating in sectors such as dairy, food and beverages, construction, packaging, and poultry. They join the four existing clubs in Kakheti, Kaspi, Kutaisi, and Rustavi municipalities.

The total cost of RECP measures implemented by SMEs in 2015-2017 amounted to 54,315 euros while saving them about 121,900 euros. These RECP investments also helped the companies to save energy and reduce CO2 emissions.
