Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Researchers who conducted a study ‘Developing sustainable policy on vehicle recycling in Mongolia’ concluded that Mongolia has a potential to develop recycling production of old cars and spare parts in Mongolia. On March 13  the study report discussion was held  at the Ministry of Road and Transport Development.
 
The study was conducted jointly with the Ministry of Road and Transport Development, the United Nations, domestic and foreign experts and researchers.
 
According to the study the development of vehicle recycling in Mongolia can provide many advantages and open opportunities including creation of a recycling network, reduction of environment protection cost by sorting out the hazardous parts and liquids, creation of a shredding company or making large parts smaller, reduction of transport costs, re-using up to 95 per cent of the spare parts, processing non-metal wastes in different ways and creating new jobs.
 
The international researchers suggested that depending on the territory of Mongolia vehicle recycling should start from Ulaanbaatar and expanded further. It was also suggested that it’s necessary to develop stable set of rules and standards and create a legal environment for recycling production of old vehicles and spare parts.
 
The National consultant of this project, director of the Mongolian Automotive Recyclers Association, Dr I.Bazarragchaa said that the Government has expressed its willingness to support the initiative.

“Mongolia is fully capable of becoming a country where recycling has fully developed such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, China and Malaysia. It is good that studies started to be  conducted in this direction” said the UN Industrial Development Organization researcher Carmelo Centeno.
