Mina

JSC "Mina" Ksani glass container plant is a company belonging to the international industrial conglomerate "Şişecam" since 1998. Its main activity is the production of various types of glass containers which are currently the most important alternatives to plastic ones and are easily recyclable. 

The project was inspired and initiated based on the Şişecam company's sustainable development policy and strategy.

A separate waste collection and disposal system has been implemented within the company. In addition, it sells non-hazardous waste such as plastic waste, cardboard, ferrous metal and wood (including pallets) to various customers for further recycling.

The amount of non-hazardous waste (waste of cardboard and wooden packaging materials) generated in the enterprise decreased by approximately 30%, and the amount of hazardous waste (lubricating brushes) - by 31% in 2022
