NowaEco is the only major vertically integrated producer and supplier of paper, corrugated board and corrugated packaging products in Turkmenistan
It has a key role in the Country's economy by supplying paper and packaging to local businesses in textiles, food and drinks, and other sectors.
NowaEco produces its products from waste paper, helping to protect the environment. We process about 10,000 tons of wastepaper a year. If not for NowaEco, this waste would be incinerated or go to a landfill. Instead, it is collected and turned into paper packaging, and this packaging when used, in its turn, can be collected again for recycling
