Abstract

The flooding of the river Bistrita in the Moldavia region of Romania, resulted in an ecological catastrophe. One effect was to accumulate different waste products from all the villages in the area of the river – especially poliethylentereftalat (P.E.T.) bottles - and to deposit them in the Bicaz Lake. Now some parts of Bicaz Lake are partially covered with millions of PET bottles. Our Consortium was already involved in some ecologizations but our operations in this area have had to be extended due to the macrodimension of this damage.
