Russia Plastic Waste Management Market Overview, 2028

The term waste management in Russia refers to the policies, procedures, and laws governing the administration of the numerous waste forms encountered across the Russian Federation. Federal Law No. 89-FZ, which outlines the foundation of legal governance for waste management at the federal level in Russia, defines waste as the remains of raw materials, materials, semi-finished products, other articles or products that have been formed in the process of production or consumption as well as the goods (products) that have lost their consumer properties. With an annual average of 400 kg per person, Russia produces 55–60 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW). Most power plants in Russia are aging and lack modern pollution control equipment, resulting in large amounts of toxic emissions and waste. Several major cities are threatened by these problems, as are delicate ecosystems such as Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake. The lack of a national waste sorting system in Russia prevents recycling factories from having access to enough raw materials, according to a report on the RBC news website. As a result, Russia is increasing its imports of plastic waste year after year. According to Konstantin Rzayev, the board chairman of the Ecotechnology company, the development of plastic recycling facilities in Russia is constrained by the very slow progress of implementing garbage reform, particularly the very delayed building of waste sorting complexes. Imports can help as long as garbage reform drags on.

According to the research report “Russia Plastic Waste Management Market Overview, 2028, published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 64.50 Million in the upcoming period, 2023–2028. Based on service type, which comprises collection and transportation, recycling, incineration, and landfills. The Russian government is working on amendments to legislation that could ban the production of non-recyclable plastic materials in Russia. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), both regular and expanded (EPS), and polyamides are the plastics with the highest use in Russia (PA, including PA66, or nylon). Depending on the type of source, which might be either residential, commercial & institutional, industrial, or other. In Russia, the greatest source of plastic garbage is thought to be industrial waste. For instance, packaging has a very short in-use lifetime (typically around 6 months or less). In contrast, plastic use has a typical lifespan of 35 years in the building and construction industries. As a result, packaging is the primary cause of plastic waste globally, accounting for about half of the total.

All waste emissions in Russia are primarily attributable to industrial operations. Only the country's mining industry was responsible for more than 94% of all garbage in 2018. The primary pollutants were from the extraction of coal and other raw materials used in the production of energy. The Russian government also aims to make 85% of all plastic packaging produced in Russia recyclable by 2030, Victoria Abramchenko, Deputy Prime Minister for environmental affairs, said at a conference last May. The COVID-19 epidemic caused a stunning increase in the usage of single-use plastics in a variety of end-user industries, including disposable goods for the food, medical, commercial, residential, and industrial sectors. Additionally, the recycling industry was severely impacted by the drop in collection rates brought on by disruptions in waste collection and labour shortages during these difficult times. Although the COVID 19 crisis led to a rise in plastic product consumption, recycling rates did not keep pace with the surge in plastic demand, which had a detrimental effect on the plastic recycling industry. However, throughout the projection period, it is anticipated that increasing public awareness of plastic pollution and strict government regulations will have a beneficial impact on the France plastic recycling market. Some of the plastic waste management companores in Russia are Inciner8 Limited, Flottweg SE, BÜCHI Labortechnik AG, Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH, Tana Oy, Presona AB, Weda AB, DILO Armaturen und Anlagen GmbH, NIVUS GmbH, CS Combustion Solutions GmbH, PET Technologies GmbH, and many more.

The approach of the report:
This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analysing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources.
