Products of products are asked to maintain the basic rates of the ecosborne
Eight industry unions of food manufacturers turned to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev with a request to refuse a new increase in Eckosbor. Their growth can lead to the rise in price of packaging and spur product inflation. Now the ecosbor is up to 5% of the cost of products. To level additional expenses of manufacturers can return secondary raw materials to the circulation.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev instructed the Ministry of Natural Resources, Rosprirodnadzor and PPK “Russian Ecological Operator” (REO) until June 5 to consider the joint circulation of eight industry associations of food products that achieve the maintenance rates of the environmental fee and increasing its coefficients at the established level, follows from its letter (“Kommersant” has it). The Ministry of Natural Resources “Kommersant” explained that the appeal is in the work and is examined in detail, but to talk about the decision, so far, prematurely. In Rosprirodnadzor, they specified that they were the co -executor of the order. The REO is working out the answer together with the Ministry of Natural Resources, it will be possible to talk about its details after the production of a single position, the company said. “Kommersant” sent a request to the apparatus of Dmitry Patrushev.
The appeal to Mr. Patrushev was sent on April 24 to the Union of manufacturers of juices, water and drinks (“All -Reviews”), the oil and fat Union, the Association of Premier Manufacturers, malt and drinks (APPs), the Association of Manufacturers of Pets Feed, the Association of Confectionery Industry Enterprises, the National Meat Association, the Union of Russian Pivovars and the Union of Alcohol Products. They express concerns regarding the statements of representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Rosprirodnadzor and REO that the established basic rates of the ECCOSKORA are unfounded and should be increased.
Ekkosbor is paid by packaging manufacturers and some products to be processed. Basic rates vary depending on the type of product (see certificate). The indicators have not been reviewed since 2016, but in the summer of last year a decision was made to gradual increase. In 2025, the rates increased by 15%, in 2026 it was planned to increase by 8%, for 2027 – by 4%. But even taking into account the increase, these fees do not cover the costs of waste processing, says Kommersant’s interlocutor, familiar with the situation. He calls increasing the liability of manufacturers for recycling waste.
First Deputy Director General of the Papillary Processors League Denis Kondratyev believes that last year’s increase in rates actually did not have an effect for the “garbage reform”. The expert recalls the exhaustion of the resource of landfills and the need to return the raw materials to the secondary turn. The existing rates of the ecosborus, in his opinion, remain « non -working. »
The final ecological payment for business is a work of the basic rate that increases the coefficient and recycling standards, explains the source of Kommersant on the FMCG market. The dimensions of other components are also growing. If in 2025 manufacturers must dispose of 55%of the mass of the packaging, then in 2026-75%, and in 2027-100%. According to the calculations of industry unions, the size of the ecosborne for transparent plastic in the period from 2024 to 2027 will grow more than six times, to 9.9 thousand rubles. per ton. For flexible films (flood), the indicator will increase by more than 10 times, to 24.8 thousand rubles, per ton of aseptic cardboard – 12 times, up to 9.2 thousand rubles.
An alternative to the ecosborne is independent disposal or direct contracts with companies processing waste. But there are only about 100 of them, they cannot provide the needs of the entire market, the source of Kommersant insists. He explains that manufacturers of products do not act as direct payers of the ecosborne, but any increase in bets is transferred to the price of packaging. At the beginning of 2025, relevant companies have already reported to increase prices by 5-12%, follows from a letter to Dmitry Patrushev. An additional increase in the ecosborus, in their opinion, can contribute to the growth of product inflation.
Alla Andreeva, CEO of Alla Andreeva, notes that any increase in bets affects the packaging, and then shifted to the price of finished products. The Executive Director of the APP Vyacheslav Mamontov says that in 2025 at the expense of the ecosborne, the cost of a unit of packaging increased by 50 kopecks, in 2027 the increase will increase to 1 rubles. This happens in parallel with the growth of excise taxes, the cost of raw materials, the expert continues. Packaging can occupy a significant share in the price of products. The “Kommersant” source on the FMCG market gives an example a bottle of water in which the cost of contents is now 20-30 rubles, and containers-about 8 rubles.
The partner for the development of the business of the consulting company Neo Albina Koryagina says that in the cost of meat of semi -finished products, dairy products and juices, the fraction of the Eckoskor is 1-3%, in bakery and confectionery – up to 5%. Growing costs manufacturers can partially transfer to consumers. This is more often traced in low -sized segments, where manufacturers work with a profitability of 3-8%, the expert says. Although Mr. Kondratyev is convinced that the economic effect of the return of the redesigned raw materials to the circulation will ultimately level the growth of manufacturers.
