IFC investments increasingly integrate cost-effective mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions with other environmental improvements.
In Bulgaria, our cleaner production lending instrument will enable Drujba to use more recycled glass cullet in its bottle manufacturing. With float glass producer China Glass Holdings and Ukraine's Industrial Union of Donbass, a steelmaker, we are supporting installation of more efficient furnaces, better control of emissions, and power from recovery of furnace gas.
Also in China, we are helping forestry client Stora Enso line up local small businesses to assist in planting, cultivation, and harvesting.
