The OHIS project
One of the largest and most significant projects in the company's broad portfolio is the removal of industrial hazardous waste from the former Organic Chemical Industry – Skopje (OHIS), which had been abandoned for more than 20 years. The project was highly complex and included identification, decanting, repackaging and transport of approximately 200 tons of hazardous waste. As the project contractor, Ekocentar 97 was also in charge of the administrative procedures: obtaining export documents and the notification for transboundary movement of waste from the transit countries and the final destination.
The project covered the removal and final treatment of 5 types of organic peroxides, acrylonitrile monomer, methanol, methyl acrylate, vinyl chloride monomer, acrylic acid, isobutanol, decanol phosphate and others.
This project is of great socio-environmental importance for the Republic of North Macedonia, because one of the largest contaminated hotspots in the country, which posed a serious threat to human health and the environment, was successfully eliminated.
