ArmenTel CJSC (Beeline trademark) and Children of Armenia Fund
announce the launch of the program "Let's relieve the environment
of polyethylene bags" aimed at protection of the environment and
development of entrepreneurship in rural communities.
The program envisages production of fizz bags, the use of which will
allow reducing the use of polyethylene bags, which inflict a big
damage to the environment, because they do not mold within hundreds
of years and contaminate the land and the water. Their use is serious
problem for nature. The first phase of the program will be implemented

process of production of 1300-1500 fizz bags.

environmental importance, as we consider it in the context of the
