With a population of 150 million and an annual plastic waste generation of 10 million tons, Russia presents a significant market for recycling technologies. While the country continues to advance in plastic technologies, its dependence on foreign recycling technologies remains. However, due to recent developments, collaborations in recycling technologies with Western countries have shifted increasingly towards Turkey.
From an environmental and sustainability perspective, Russia focuses on technologies and innovations related to the sorting, processing, and reuse of plastic waste. Recycling Solutions, held under the umbrella of Ruplastica, is the premier meeting point in Russia and the CIS countries where environmentally friendly technologies supporting plastic waste management are showcased.
Driven by the global shift toward circular economy models, Russia’s plastics industry and waste management sector are experiencing significant growth. As the largest country by landmass with 150 million people, Russia produces approximately 10 million tons of plastic waste annually. This sector is not only large in terms of plastic waste but is also on a growth trend in terms of investment.
There is a growing emphasis on the efficient and environmentally conscious recycling of plastic waste in Russia. Recycling Solutions connects technology providers leading this transformation with professional buyers, offering new collaboration opportunities.
