Nuta wants to build used oils recycling facility in western Lithuania

BC, Vilnius, 24.03.2017.Print version
Another attempt to use EU funds to build an automotive oil recycling facility is being planned in Lithuania after the first such enterprise, which obtained 2.3 mln euros in investments back in 2009, has not yet launched operations, LETA/BNS writes according to the business daily Verslo Zinios.

Nuta, a company owned by Salman Ali, a foreign investor, has recently filed an application under the Regio Invest LT+ instrument for the construction of a facility that would produce base oils, vacuum gas oil and fuel oil by refining waste oils.


The company is seeking 1.5 mln euros in funding for the project, which is estimated to cost 3.8 mln euros in total. The facility would be built in Kretinga, in the western part of the country.

NAPC, the oils recycling company that was expected to start operating in Jonava, in central Lithuania, back in 2011, has only just escaped bankruptcy, changed its shareholders and is currently working out a project to reconstruct the facility.


According to figures from the Association of Manufacturers and Importers, only up to 3,000 tons out of 25,000-30,000 tons of oils that are supplied to the Lithuanian market annually are recycled.
