| Title | Private sector participation in the waste management scheme of the Krasnoyarsk region, Russian Federation |
| Summary | This research covers the socio-economic factors and policy gaps of the Russian Federation policy on regional level, with Krasnoyarsk region as a case study. The goal of this research is to contribute to the currently existed waste management system improvement in the Russian Federation. Public-Private Participation (PPP) is considered to be an important tool for implementation of the socially important projects, including those in waste management. It was discovered during the research that there are some significant drawbacks of the currently established waste management system, which could discourage business to participate in the waste minimization scheme through public-private collaboration. The main factors that could be a reason of low effectiveness of the Russian waste management system are as follow: absence of the comprehensive legislative and intuitional framework for solid waste management recycling; low priority of waste management sphere in finance policy on both national and regional levels; limited use of economic instruments for private sector support; weak controlling and enforcement mechanisms for environmental policy implementation and compliance; lack of environmental awareness amongst the population is also considered to have significant influence on business sector participation; low level of information exchange between all groups of stakeholders and absence of reliable information. All these factors can discourage private sector to participate in the PPPs project implementation on waste-related issues, planned by the Government of the Krasnoyarsk region. As policy implementation is insured mostly by regional government the main effort should be put on improvement of enforcement mechanisms with simultaneous change of national policy toward the encouragement of more sustainable practices. |
