OREANDA-NEWS. On 08 July 2009 was announced, that Сoncern Galnaftogaz and GreenCo-Kiev signed an agreement on the utilization of solid domestic waste. According to this agreement, one additional container for collection of garbage, which can be recycled (paper, polymeric materials, glass and metal), will be set on 4 OKKO filling complexes in Kyiv.

"It is possible to recycle most of waste products on filling complexes, – emphasized chief of the sector of environmental protection of Concern Galnaftogaz Olena Samsonenko. – Half of solid domestic waste on filling complexes is composed out of cardboard boxes from products, and about 10% falls at polyethylene and plastic bottles. All this can be utilized, if filling stations will be equiped with necessary containers and we will arrange with partners concerning the removal of such waste. Except for that, thus we habituate our employees and clients to more responsible attitude toward problems of environmental protection".

It is not the first experience of Concern Galnaftogaz in diminishing the negative impact on the environment. In February 2009 special containers for collection of polyethylene and plastics were set on five L'viv OKKO filling complexes, and these wastes have been stably passed for the recycling. Except for that, joining the UN campaign in Ukraine "Go green!" in July of the last year, Galnaftogaz implemented "green office" principles in its activity. Inside eight months from the program start the main office of Concern Galnaftogaz, where literary garbage collection is implemented, handed over 2.5 tons of literary garbage for recycling. The tuning of this process now lasts on 9 branches of company also.
