Ecological production line

The Avlona plant is one of the first in Greece that was based on the principle of recycling. Papanastasiou used all products and by-products of wood (large proportion of whom remain until now to end up in landfills) by creating a sawdust combustion unit that used renewable sources instead of oil and other fossil fuels. Thus the energy required for the drying and heating unit is derived exclusively from the combustion of wood by-products and residues.
