TIRANA, Aug. 8 – Vice Minister of Environment Aleksander Garuli said that a new implant to process the capital’s rubbish in the suburbs in Sharra will start to be built by the end of the year following the ratification of an agreement with Italy. The new plant will cost 60,4 million euro and that would eliminate, process through burning and bury the rubbish, consequently significantly reducing the air pollution in the capital in the next 10 years. There will be allowed no houses to be built near the implant. The tender will be held from the Italian government as the main investor. Tirana is very much polluted with a 400 microgram/cubic from the allowed level of 70 microgram./cubic in the European Union standards.
