History

2020

Completion of the electronic waste processing plant complex

On June 30, 2020, Ecopolis Corporation announced the completion of the formation of a complex of electronic waste processing plants in Russia. At NPO Aurus LLC, in the workshops for the production of non-ferrous and precious metals, commissioning work begins. Read more here.

First draft of federal electronic and electrical equipment waste management scheme approved

On April 27, 2020, the first draft of the federal waste management scheme was approved by Deputy Prime Minister RFViktoria Abramchenko. Ecopolis announced this on April 28, 2020. Earlier, the Corporation took part in the formation of the document, informing the PPK REO about its plants for environmental processing and disposal of electronic waste.

Electronic and Electrical Equipment Waste (EEO) is the fastest growing waste group worldwide. According to experts, about 1.4 million tons of OEO are formed annually in Russia. And this figure is increasing every year. 70% of electronics waste is generated by individuals. Therefore, when forming a federal waste management scheme, it is important to provide an infrastructure for the management of OESO, which are actually part of MSW, to ensure their subsequent environmental processing (disposal).

In this regard, Ecopolis Corporation sent to the PPK REO its proposals for the inclusion in the federal waste management scheme of three enterprises connected with a single raw material chain and included in the only technological complex in Russia for the environmental processing of electronic waste. We are talking about two Moscow plants "Ecotechprom" and "Ecoplast," the latter is located on the territory of the SEZ "Technopolice" Moscow. " And also the only enterprise in Russia for the processing of printed circuit boards "Aurus," located in the Oryol region on the territory of the TOSER "Mtsensk."

Processing plants are one of the most important components of an effective federal waste management scheme. In the current economic situation, difficulties will probably arise with investment projects to create waste processing facilities. Therefore, when developing a federal waste management scheme, it is very important to maximize the use of already created and actually functioning processing enterprises. In this regard, we sent a proposal to PPK REO to include the facilities of Ecopolis Corporation in this strategically important document for Russia. In our opinion, consolidating the efforts of private business and the state to solve the problem of waste management in our country and ensuring the maximum return of secondary resources to economic circulation is the most rational way, noted the CEO of Ecopolis Corporation Maxim Lobanov

2019: Launch of a project to collect old electronics at Moscow industrial enterprises

On November 7, 2019, Ecopolis announced that, together with the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy, it Moscow had launched a project to collect the old electronic engineers industrial one at the enterprises of the capital.

According to the company, containers for collecting old electronics and household appliances will appear at the capital's industrial enterprises.

All assembled used equipment will be used for environmental disposal at the enterprises of Ecopolis Corporation. For processing,,, and computers phones laptops printers others, office equipment teapots,, TVs refrigerators, game consoles, microwaves and much more are accepted.

Ecopolis Corporation will process up to 95% of e-waste into recycled raw materials. For example, plastic will be sent to the Ecoplast plant (part of the Ecopolis Corporation) on the territory of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ. There, high-quality secondary pellets ABS, PP and PS.these pellets can be used to produce parts of the automotive industry, building materials and updated cases of electronics and household appliances.

We are pleased to have the opportunity to hold a joint action with the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of the city of Moscow to collect spent electronic equipment at the largest production enterprises in our city. All equipment will go for environmental processing at the plants of the Ecopolis Corporation, thereby our joint project will increase the share of actual ecoutilization and reduce the amount of hazardous waste in landfills. This will be a real step towards the implementation of the provisions of the Industrial Development Strategy for the treatment, disposal and disposal of waste, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. told Alexandra Shadyuk, Deputy General Director of Ecopolis Corporation

Moscow annually produces about 130 thousand tons of electronic garbage. For the environment, this is one of the most toxic and harmful types of waste. The total capacity of the Ecopolis Corporation plant complex makes it possible to cope with the utilization of most of this volume, which is a notable achievement. We will continue to support the Ecoplast plant, which returns almost all "electronic" plastic to the economy, and does so on the territory of the SEZ Technopolice Moskva. told Alexander Prokhorov, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of the city of Moscow

As of November 2019, the capital already has several containers of the Ecopolis Corporation. For example, on October 14, 2019, one of them appeared on the territory of the SEZ "Technopolice" Moscow. " And in the summer, specialized containers for collecting spent electronic and electrical equipment from the population were installed in the Nekrasovka area.

As of November 2019, the company's main activity is investing in the processing and disposal of waste of electronic and electrical equipment.
