The resident of a special economic zone (SEZ) Technopolis Moscow the plant Ecoplast in January-February 2023 increased the processing volume of body plastics by five percent - up to 600 tons per month. This was reported by Vladislav Ovchinsky, the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow, which is part of the complex of economic policy and property and land relations of the capital. Moscow industry demonstrates the readiness for modern challenges, including the reconfiguration of raw material supply chains. Despite the fact that the polymer industry in 2022 showed a slight decline, enterprises have managed to promptly form new cooperative ties and ensure smooth operation. For example, the resident of the capital's special economic zone - plant Ecoplast continues to show steady growth of plastic recycling from electronic and electrical equipment and increase the output of finished products in the form of secondary polymer pellets, said Vladislav Ovchinsky. Secondary polymer granules of ABS, polystyrene and polypropylene are in great demand in automotive industry, construction industry, production of furniture parts and other sectors. In this regard, increasing the volume of plastic processing is a priority task for Ekoplast. The head of the Department noted that increasing the productivity of the enterprise allows to keep a qualified workforce and thereby continue to provide employment for the population of the capital. In 2023 the plant has set a goal to increase the monthly volume of plastic recycling by 10-15 percent. The current workload of raw materials and the volume of incoming orders from the expanding customer base allows us to hope that this goal will be achieved. At the same time it is extremely important that the company is ready to double its production figures. Despite the constantly changing circumstances, we are confident that we will overcome any difficulties and cope with all the challenges, - said the Executive Director of PC Ecoplast Alexei Korolev.
