The Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) organized a meeting with representatives of cities and municipalities in BiH and Vienna Holding to present the latest technologies in waste treatment called "Plasma Technology" which, in the past ten years, is being applied in the most developed countries of the EU such as: Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

Vienna Holding is a renowned company that has so far implemented 28 projects "Plasma Technology", out of which the most important were realized in Vienna and Stockholm.

These projects can be realized through a Public-Private Partnership, creation of a joint company or through favourable credit arrangement depending on the level of the prepared project.

Holding Vienna in cooperation with an Investment Fund from the United States can contribute to implement this technology in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, considering issues related to the waste treatment and lack of adequate landfills in Bosnia and Herzegovina, FIPA initiated this meeting in order to make competent institutions in BiH familiarized with this technology and to share together with Vienna Holding opinions and to discuss possibilities for establishing cooperation.

This technology is well-known by treating all types of waste without sorting organic and inorganic, by completely breaking down the waste, no tar, furans, dioxins nor ash unlike to classic and conventional technologies. Per ton of waste it produces 816 kilowatts of energy.

Discussions on this project will continue in BiH.
