Ecolaury Award 2014 for overall activity in support of environmental protection.

As a result of the completion of the NFOŚ program, the “Panewniki” facility begins its operations. Spread over an area of 4 hectares, the modern, containerized mobile installations can process 6,300 tons of waste per day, which is twice as much as the Michał Facility, which is five times larger.

BioCarbohumus is created, a high-quality anthropogenic soil for use in biological reclamation. This is the result of the company’s collaboration with the Agricultural University of Kraków.

Preparations for the development of mobile containerized installations, portable crushing and sorting plants capable of operating anywhere. The project is co-financed by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚ).
