KYIV, Oct 20 – Ukrzaliznytsia can potentially sell about 300,000 tons of scrap metal per year and receive additional annual income in the amount of UAH 1-1.5 billion, however, this potential is not yet fully used, the European Business Association (EBA) has said.
"Thus, the utilization of wagons written off for scrap metal and excluded from the automated data bank of the freight car fleet is being conducted too slowly. Currently, the rate of utilization is 100-400 cars per month, which does not meet the needs of the market, because the optimal amount of processing can be 800-1000 cars per month," it said.
