“We are pleased to come to Tiraque to lay the foundation stone of the Liquid Waste Collection and Storage Plant, which will provide and prepare raw material for producing ecological diesel,” the president granted at the beginning of the investment valued at 68.3 million bolivianos (nearly USD$ 10 million).

Arce stated this project will help Bolivia enter a different stage of its national economy, “the era of recycling, the era of generating our own diesel with our own industry and not depending on imports.”
