Exemplifying Polish–Norwegian cooperation, several new contracts between Polish customers and Norwegian suppliers were signed during the King of Norway’s state visit to Poland and the Green Growth conference on 10 May. The companies involved included Aquateam and Tomra Sorting Solutions, both members of Green Business Norway.
Tomra Sorting Solutions, a division of the Tomra group, signed a vendor agreement with Sutco Polska, the Polish subsidiary of Sutco Recyclingtechnik, a German company. The agreement covers the supply, installation, implementation and technical commissioning of a Tomra Autosort optical sorting system. The equipment will be supplied to waste treatment plants in Sosnowiec and Tczew and will be installed in 2012 and 2013. The system, which has a seven-digit price tag in euros, will manage the sorting of valuable recyclables (PET, PE/PP and PE film) and will separate out refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from domestic waste.
Aquateam, an independent consulting and R&D company in the environmental sector, signed a memorandum of understanding with Radom, a water and wastewater company, to set up a sludge treatment and resource centre. The centre will promote sewage sludge as a resource and a renewable energy source. It will provide training and educational programs and will have facilities for master’s students and doctoral candidates to conduct pilot and full-scale projects. The opening of the centre is subject to financial support being made available from the new EEA funding program for Poland. A pilot project intended to form the basis for a funding application is currently in the works.
