Waste management
The public is concerned about the environmental and social consequences of existing waste management system in Russia.
So far, the country has not taken sufficient measures to implement the highest directions of state policy in the field of waste management:"maximum use of materials" and "prevention of waste generation", which are stipulated in paragraph 2, Article 3 , Federal Law No. 89 "On production and consumption waste". There are more and more points of social tension associated with plans to export waste from megacities to other regions and the spread of incineration facilities.
At the 15th conference on November 9, 2019, the Russian Social and Environmental Union adopted a Position on the municipal waste managment.
