A plant to manufacture reverse vending machines in Greece by US-based Envipco was inaugurated by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday morning in Pallini, northeast of Athens, ANA reports.
The nearly-10-million-euro investment will create 60 jobs immediately, Mitsotakis noted, and another 230 jobs in the next five years, not counting intangible benefits. This is the result of methodical work by the government “to make Greece a preferred investment destination again,” the prime minister said.
Mitsotakis also said that by allowing local governments to take initiatives, the state let go of its control and encouraged Private Public Partnerships in managing household waste based on local needs. He announced the first 100 reverse vending machines would be located in five municipalities: Kallithea and Nea Smyrni in Attica, Ioannina, Nafplio and Andros island.
