The approval of the technical study for this specific area follows the approval <\/a>of the environmental conditions<\/a> issued approximately one year ago and paves the way for the extraction and processing of zeolite by the company owned by residents of the Petroto area.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company \u2018Lithoxoos\u2019 was founded on the initiative of the village\u2019s residents, both those living there permanently and those who have migrated within Greece and abroad, mainly to Germany, who, realising the importance of the deposit, wished to exploit it at the site of extraction and prevent its transport and processing away from their homeland, with a vision of the economic, social and cultural revitalisation of their village and the wider region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
