Kosovo packaging producer cuts carbon emissions with EBRD and EU green finance support

A Kosovo packaging company called Birlik is cutting its carbon footprint with help from the EBRD and EU. The firm, based in Mamusha, makes flour and industrial packaging and exports about 70 percent of its output to neighboring countries. The project involves renewable energy investment to lower both emissions and energy costs for the manufacturer. This is a concrete example of how development finance and EU green funding are being deployed in the Western Balkans to decarbonize industrial operations. The article covers the company background, the funding structure, and the expected emissions reduction. It is worth reading for anyone tracking industrial decarbonization projects in emerging markets and how multilateral banks are structuring these deals.
