ALMATY, Kazakhstan, Aug. 29, 2013 (Press Release) -On Monday, August 26th, «Kagazy Recycling» LLP experts announced the start of commercial production of mottled bleached board brand BT-1, which serves as a raw material for the production of corrugated products. Previously imported from Russia mottled bleached board will now be produced in Kazakhstan and will therefore become more accessible to the domestic consumers.
