Construction and demolition waste sorting and recycling plant “Nomales” fully resumes operations
The construction and demolition waste (CDW) sorting and recycling plant “Nomales” has fully resumed operations and is accepting CDW and industrial waste from legal clients and private individuals, according to CleanR Grupa subsidiary CleanR Verso.
After the fire-extinguishing work was completed, the territory was tidied up, equipment was inspected, and the impact assessment was carried out in cooperation with the responsible services, ensuring a safe resumption of operations.
“The operations in “Nomales” have been fully restored. We continue our work while strengthening security processes and introducing additional preventive solutions,” says Ēriks Gusevs, Chairman of the Management Board of CleanR Verso.
The CDW sorting and recycling plant “Nomales” is one of the most modern in Latvia, and more than 120 tons of CDW and industrial waste are sorted there annually. Up to 98% of them are recycled, for example, into crushed stone, soil, and other materials. This significantly reduces the amount of waste deposited in landfills and promotes the development of a circular economy. CDW recycling is important for both – environmental protection and resource conservation – it reduces the need for new raw materials and helps reduce pollution.
At the same time, safety measures are being strengthened after the fire. The company continues to work in three directions to reduce fire hazards.
“Firstly, to reduce risks, we ensure the moistening of materials, more efficient processing, regular inspection of the territory, and video surveillance for early detection of smoke. Secondly, in the event of accidents, prompt cooperation with the services is ensured; a fire safety pond is available within the territory; and waste is localized to limit the spread of fire. Thirdly, after incidents, an in-depth analysis and evaluation of the situation is performed to improve safety processes and prevent the recurrence of similar cases,” indicates Ēriks Gusevs.
He also emphasizes that such a systematic approach enables not only the effective processing of construction debris but also the timely detection and prompt prevention of accidents.
