Household appliances, computer system units, motherboards and hard drives will have to be recycled. It is noted that the innovation will affect not only companies, but also ordinary citizens, and violation of these rules will result in a fine.
Since last year, 182 types of goods have been prohibited from being thrown into landfills in Russia, including mercury thermometers and lamps, car tires, mobile phones and batteries, construction waste, tree cuttings, leaves, grass, chemicals and medical waste. These waste groups must be handed over to collection points, garbage operators or stores for recycling, reports meteovesti.ru.
This law is the most important part of the national project to create a sustainable system for managing municipal solid waste. By 2030, the country will ensure 100% waste sorting, and the volume of waste sent to landfills will be halved. In order to effectively implement waste management infrastructure, it is important not only to put into operation plants for the disposal and processing of recyclable materials, but also to establish separate collection of waste by citizens. Conscious consumption and living according to the principles of zero waste will create an environmentally friendly future, reports the portal nationalprojects.rf.
Russia is on the verge of a garbage collapse: Greenpeace experts warn that if business responsibility for waste disposal is not introduced, within nine years there will be nowhere to store it. The main reasons for the collapsed garbage “tsunami” are the increase in the production and consumption of disposable packaging, which is generally not suitable for further processing. Just look into any trash can: more than half of the garbage in it is containers from food products, drinks and packaging of consumer goods.
