Alteo Wins Big State Grant: Alternative Energy Company in Hungary Invests in Recycling Technology
FE-Group Invest, a subsidiary of BSE-listed alternative energy company Alteo, has won a Ft 300 million grant to set up a new waste processing plant and buy special machinery for the recycling of PET bottles and metal cans, Portfolio reports.

A state grant covers 70% of the investment costs, with the remaining part financed from the company’s own resources.

The technology will allow FE-Group to process 1,400 tons of PET bottles and 3,050 tons of aluminium annually from around 15,210 tons of mixed waste. Additionally, the company will be able to separate another 760 tons of metals from the waste.

In late 2022, Alteo was taken over by two venture capital funds and MOL, which won a 35-year municipal waste management concession earlier that year. From July 2023 it has been responsible for the collection of municipal waste.

Its subsidiary MOHU was assigned to the operation of the new Deposit Refund Systems.

Starting this year, all metal cans, glass and PET bottles will carry a Ft 50 deposit fee, but the system will only be fully running from July 1, as manufacturers and retailers received a six-month grace period.
