Over 850 collection points for used batteries are to be set up in Kyrgyzstan. The Republic’s Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision has signed a memorandum of cooperation with a company that possesses the necessary infrastructure. This was reported by
Akchabar, a partner of TV BRICS.
The company has more than 850 recycling bins for collecting batteries and a mobile app that can be used to locate battery collection points. The Ministry of Natural Resources is keen to develop this project.
The parties have agreed to promote the idea of environmentally friendly battery recycling and to jointly organise competitions for schoolchildren and students. In the future, there are plans to attract investment into the recycling sector.
