Background
The Palkovsky Group is a family-owned company with high environmental protection standards. Petr and Alexander Palkovsky, a father and son duo, are deeply rooted in values of responsible stewardship of nature and a constant drive to improve society through revolutionary projects.
Petr's journey from being a refugee to becoming a pioneer in environmentally friendly products and environmental advocacy laid the foundation for Alexander's dedication to clean energy and sustainable development. Together with their team, they lead the creation of modern-generation projects.
Their vision is to launch responsible production of sodium borates, a critical mineral with over 300 applications across various industries, essential for modern life, technology, agriculture, and renewable energy. These minerals would be extracted using underground methods, leaving the surface untouched. By employing clean and innovative mineral processing technology, the project could avoid the use of harmful chemicals, efficiently recycle water, and minimize environmental impact. The by-products of this process are safe for reuse in the environmental remediation of legacy open pits which are no longer active.
Their vision also includes leveraging Valjevo's geothermal potential to reduce air pollution and reliance on fossil fuels, providing cleaner heating options for homes and industries in Valjevo.
The foundation of the Palkovsky Group’s business is built on science and respect for nature, ensuring that progress benefits both people and the environment.
