The resident of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Technopolis Moscow” has been included in the register of plastic recyclers

Now, businesses in the capital will be able to send the most common types of packaging, including polypropylene and polystyrene, for recycling. This was announced by Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

“On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the city is systematically supporting the development of environmentally oriented industries. An important step towards building a circular economy is the inclusion of the resident of the SEZ ‘Technopolis Moscow’ in the special register.” The capital’s business has acquired a partner that has taken on the processing of the most common types of packaging. The plant converts plastic into secondary polymer granules — new building materials, automotive components and other products are produced from this raw material,” said Maxim Liksutov.

The company “Ekoplast” is engaged in plastic processing. The company’s technological advantage is a line with a function for automatic separation of components. The equipment can handle complex polymer raw materials — plastics from electronic and electrical equipment, where different polymers, metal inclusions, coatings and fillers are mixed in a single stream. The separation of components yields a pure mono-polymer as the output.

The production cycle includes sorting, cleaning, grinding, compounding, and granulation. Quality control is integrated into every stage — from the selection of raw materials to the release of the finished batch. The enterprise’s capacity allows it to serve large companies that are interested in the responsible disposal of their plastic.

The Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026. Over the course of two decades, the project has transformed from a launchpad for innovative projects into a key hub for domestic industry and a magnet for companies that define Russia’s technological sovereignty. Today, production of more than 240 high‑tech enterprises representing strategic areas such as microelectronics, instrument engineering, biomedicine, IT, and robotics is located across 10 sites of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, with a total area of 430 hectares.Moscow is actively developing industrial infrastructure for high‑tech enterprises. Thanks to urban solutions, companies are increasing their production output and launching innovative production facilities. This contributes to the implementation of the national project “Effective and Competitive Economy.”
