Today, 3 May, FIEC is at the ribbon cutting ceremony of the pilot recycling plant in the framework of the MOBICCON-PRO project, and the "Territorial Construction Circular Cluster”.
 
With welcome addresses by EU Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva and FIEC Vice-President Laurentiu Plosceanu, the innovative installation for recycling of construction and demolition waste has officially opened its doors.
 
The initiative could also count on the presence of Mr Radu Moldovan, Romanian Embassy Economic Minister at the Romanian Embassy, and the Bulgarian President of the Economic and Social Council of the Republic of Bulgaria, Ms. Zornitsa Roussinova.
 
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE of this pilot installation and the project co-funded by Horizon Europe, VP Plosceanu highlighted that:

- They provide a significant support to collaborative research across the EU, fostering advancements in areas such as climate change, digital transformation and sustainable development. 

- They aim at promoting circular economy practices and resilient construction methods. 
- They represent examples of how EU funding can drive meaningful transformation in key sectors.

The construction industry plays a key role in the achievement of the decarbonisation objectives and FIEC was pleased to take part to the ceremony. 

We thank Commissioner Zaharieva for being on site, to provide her support: a powerful signal of the EU’s commitment to sustainable development and innovation in construction. Special thanks go to all participants, partners and all people/organisations involved in this remarkable initiative, particularly, our Bulgarian member Bulgarian Construction Chamber and Glavbolgarstroy Holding.
