The client:
|
Bericap Kazakhstan LLC is a plastic closures (container tops) producer,
supplying Kazakhstan and other Central Asian markets from a local
manufacturing base. It is part of the larger Bericap Holding Group.
|
EBRD finance:
|
USD 2.5 million senior loan.
|
Total project cost:
|
USD 2.5 million.
|
Environmental impact:
|
The construction and operation of the new plastic closures manufacturing plant
is likely to be associated with limited environmental, health and safety
issues, which can be read-ily identified, assessed and mitigated. The
facilities will be located in an industrial area. However, the land allocated
for the project has never been used for any industrial activi-ties before.
There are no known environmentally or archaeologically valuable or sensitive
areas in the vicinity of the site. For the above mentioned reasons, the EBRD
has classified the project B/0, requiring an Environmental Analysis.
The Environmental Analysis was carried out by EBRD En-vironment Department.
The investigations showed that the Project will be structured to meet Kazakh
environmental, health and safety requirements and EU environmental standards,
and that the direct environmental, health and safety impacts during the
construction and the operation of the new plastic caps plant would be
insignificant and effi-ciently mitigated. Environmental protection measures
will be fully incorporated in the project design.
