FBA EAC Discusses Cooperation in the Disposal of Class 1 Hazardous Waste

On October 27, the Financial and Business Association of Euro-Asian Cooperation (FBA EAC), located on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, hosted negotiations and discussions regarding the recycling of industrial waste and electronic scrap. The event was organized by Sergey Korotkov, Advisor to the President of the FBA EAC.

The negotiations were attended by Andrey Kontarev, representing a group of Chinese companies interested in pursuing ventures in this sector within the Russian Federation, and Vladimir Alentsin, General Director of JSC "Ecological Service Plant"

The Chinese delegation expressed a strong interest in recycling mercury-containing waste, including fluorescent lamps, electrical relays, and electrical equipment containing mercury and its derivatives.

In response, Vladimir Alentsin outlined the specifics of Russian legislation governing the recycling of Class 1 hazardous waste. He detailed the necessary licenses and certifications, explained the procedures for engaging with the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources and the Federal Environmental Operator on this matter, and provided practical examples based on his organization’s operational experience in this field.

Concluding the meeting, the participants expressed their gratitude to the FBA EAC for providing a professional platform for this dialogue. The parties acknowledged their mutual interest in implementing joint projects in this sector and reaffirmed their commitment to fostering further cooperation.
