Making Sustainable
Future Reality
NowaEco is Turkmenistan’s only fully vertically integrated producer and supplier of sustainable pulp, paper, corrugated board, and packaging solutions. It plays a vital role in the national economy by serving a wide range of local and international industries.
Each year, NowaEco recovers and repurposes over 30,000 tons of agricultural residue and waste paper—materials that would otherwise be burned or buried in landfills. Instead, these resources are transformed into innovative, recyclable packaging solutions that support a more sustainable supply chain.
By combining environmental responsibility with advanced processing, the company actively reduces ecological impact. NowaEco continues to lead the transition toward a circular, low-waste economy, guided by principles of efficiency, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
