The list "Crno na bijelo - Može Nikšić" presented two capital projects as part of the campaign for the upcoming local elections scheduled for March 14. The first project is the construction of a center for thermal treatment and destruction of waste, which will permanently solve the ecological black point of Nikšić - the landfill Mislov do. The second project is a factory for the recycling of car tires, waste oil, plastic and medical waste, which will permanently solve the problem of these types of waste not only in Nikšić but also in the whole of Montenegro. The realization of these two projects would create 270 new jobs in Nikšić.
The landfill Mislov do is the biggest environmental problem of Nikšić. More than 50 tons of waste are dumped there every day. The surface area is about 2 hectares and represents a welcome to all citizens who come to our city. In addition to air and land pollution, this landfill also causes water pollution because there is a dam and a canal nearby, into which the waste water that is created by draining the waste from the landfill flows.
The plan of the Black and White coalition is to hire a company through a public-private partnership that would build a center for thermal treatment and destruction of waste from the aforementioned landfill, and at the same time also treat new municipal waste that would be brought to this location by PUK Nikšić trucks. That plan would entail the processing of 100 tons of municipal waste on a daily basis at the very start and so on for the next 4-6 years until the landfill would completely disappear, and new waste would also be processed during that period.

Thermal processing of waste implies several controlled catalytic processes of processing mixed municipal waste without prior segregation or separation. The process is driven by, as raw material, all types of municipal waste (organic, plastic, paper, rubber, biomass, light industrial and agricultural waste). Through processing, we get final products: oil, gas, water and carbon. The result is 0% emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere (gases are returned to the system and used as power for the same system) and 100% processing of municipal waste. Processing residues are in the form of carbon powder and can be packed into briquettes and used as solid fuel for heating or industrial plants. The separated water is condensed and used for cooling the system and for irrigation. The gas is used to produce electricity to power the system (5% of the total gas produced) and for further sale.
When we talk about specific figures, the investment price for this project would be 20-22 million euros, depending on the exact capacity of the plant. This project would be implemented in cooperation with the Municipality, the Government and interested investors. The plants are made for 25-50t of daily processing and can be easily moved after the completed work at a certain location.

Rapid social development and a careless attitude towards the environment have caused the generation of large amounts of waste to become one of the biggest problems of our time. Faced with the lack of space for waste storage on the one hand, and the limitation of natural resources on the other, it is necessary to look for a solution in recycling.
There are currently around 210.000 cars in circulation in Montenegro, and according to forecasts, around 4500t/y of replaced tires are created annually, and several thousand old stocks are deposited in illegal landfills..
Recycling of the mentioned types of waste belongs to the activity of sustainable development, because products are created that have a new value and on which occasion materials and energy from used products are returned to the economic system by applying a new technological procedure.
The recycling project is based on a pyrolytic plant called Pyro XY-8. The hall for this factory has an area of approx. 4500 m2 and will be located on a land area of 10000 m2, which belongs to the industrial zone (business zone Nikšić).
The main product of the recycling process was fuel, and the whole process was labeled as "100% renewable 'green' energy."
From the main raw material for recycling (waste tires), the production output is as follows:
Light oil: 40-45%,
Heavy oils: 2-5%, this amount is returned to the next production process
Graphite for pellets: 28-35%,
Steel: 9-11%,
Waste gas for combustion: 8-12%.
Economic and financial analysis of the project
The value of the investment is approximately €1300
The annual profit, including the processing of waste oil, is approximately €630
The return value of the investment is 2 years
The minimum acceptable volume of production is at 11,9% capacity utilization, i.e. the processing of 350 t of waste rubber per year. Annual capacity: 12 months x 22 days x 10 t 2640 t, sufficient for receiving and recycling the entire amount of waste tires in Montenegro.
