“…Apart from this, much less volumes of MSW than expected was convert ed into resources, including electric power. In 2019, Russian regional operators handled 61.15m tonnes of MSW, 29.7% of which was recycled and less than 5% put back into production (this includes recycling, 4 regeneration, 5 and recovery 6 ) or reused as a renewable energy source (2.67m tonnes). For comparison, one of the world's leaders in waste management, Sweden, incinerated 50% of MSW and recycled most of the rest in 2019 (only 0.8% of the waste generated nation wide was buried).…”

“…The process of MSW generation in itself does not shed light on the differ ence between waste and byproducts, which are incidental or secondary goods produced while manufacturing the main product. Although byproducts can be sold in the market, their production is not essential for the firm (in terms of mo tivation rather than technology) [4]. Unlike byproducts, waste cannot be traded by definition.…”

Institutional approach to assessing the transition to a circular economy: the case of the Kaliningrad region

et al. 2021

The article discusses possible reasons for the failure of Russia’s waste management industry reform and highlights the ownership blurring as a factor that may hinder the transition to a circular economy, which has been proposed as one of the outcomes of the reform. This study aims to address possible obstacles to transitioning to a circular economy in the Kaliningrad region. Methodologically, the study uses instruments of new institutional economics: by comparing discrete institutional alternatives for municipal solid waste (MSW) management, the authors propose incentive schemes that will likely stimulate the transition to a circular economy in the region. It is shown that, in Russia, the identification of the holder of the property right to waste is complicated. This can be a hindrance to effective MSW management. Moreover, objects handled by MSW management services may fall into different types, but at the same time, it is possible to transfer objects from one type to another. One of the ways to improve the exclusion of services of MSW utilization is the introduction of incentive tariffs. Low-rise housing in the Kaliningrad region makes it an ideal region for the introduction of such a scheme. When calculating the unsorted waste transport fee, a multiplier can be used to reduce the payment for waste-separating households. This can serve as an additional incentive for overcoming collective action problem in MSW collecting and sorting. To prevent social resistance to such a policy, incentive schemes should be implemented on a voluntary basis.
