The experience of the cancellation of personal income tax on waste paper collection accepted by the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation showed that the economic effect from the work of this Federal Law is quite high and allowed to increase revenues to the consolidated budget additionally by hundreds of millions of rubles. And it is important that the collection of waste paper at times exceeded the previous volume, which formed before the introduction of amendments to the legislation.

As is known, the Association StekloSouz Russia is a member of the All-Russian Popular Front since 2011.

Constantly, cited as an example the legal device for collecting secondary raw materials in the USSR, when there were no taxes and VAT.

At the same time, the results were astounding: in fact, 100 percent of the cullet was re-melted.

In general, during the Soviet period, secondary raw materials were processed on average up to 87 percent, and the products after processing went to the national economy.

At present, experts have submitted proposals to ONF and substantiated the creation of a roadmap of people"s control over the implementation of the national project “Ecology”.

Within the framework of this document, based on direct instructions, Presidential Decree No. 204 of May 7, 2018 “On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024 (hereinafter the Decree), the following objectives of the Decree were taken for special control:

Investors work with StekloSouz on a permanent basis and are ready to invest in the indicated projects with a guaranteed supply of broken glass of the planned capacities of the enterprises.

Currently, glass factories are buying imported raw materials from cullet in Belarus and Ukraine.
