Sept 24 (Interfax-Ukraine) – At the end of October this year, Kronospan plans to launch the production of chipboard at a new site in Horodok, Rivne region, and in the third quarter of 2022 to begin the implementation of the second phase of the project – the production of oriented strand boards (OSB), Executive Director of Kronospan Rivne LLC Pavlo Piltiai said.

Piltiai recalled that Kronospan began investing in a new site back in 2018, but only in the middle of 2020 received permission to start architectural and construction work, it took another six months to obtain various permits and information from government agencies.
Piltiai said that to comply with all environmental standards, Kronospan Rivne plans to introduce an environment protection system (filters) at the new enterprise to protect the environment from dust and other chemical pollution.
"These are the latest European systems, each filter costs about EUR 20 million and Kronospan Rivne is the first company to install such systems on its own," the executive director said.
In addition, according to him, by the end of September it is planned to install a special module for monitoring the environment around the factory (formaldehyde, steam, other pollutants).
