    • Plastics processors to discuss key market issues


      On the 22nd and 23rd of November 2010 the 4th Russian Congress of Plastics Converters will take place in Moscow. The forum, which is being held in the Small Conference Hall of the Moscow Government building, is organised by the Russian Association of Plastics Converters, the RCC Group media and consulting company and supported by the Government of Moscow. Key market players will discuss developments in promising sectors of the polymer industry: TPEs, composites, flame retardants, modifying additives, food polymers, plastic recycling.


      A special panel discussion on the tense relations between domestic producers and processors of polymer feedstock (Kazanorgsintez, Sibur, Nizhnekamskneftekhim and others) will be held at the congress. Representatives from the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the state bodies involved in investigating alleged monopoly abuses by Russian producers of base polymers, have been invited to take part in the panel discussion.


      As at the previous conferences, this year’s forum will present unique Russian developments intended to replace imported products. Some of these developments have already been commercialized, some will be offered to market players for commercialization. For example, a Russian facility for manufacturing montmorillonite-based additives will be presented during the congress. A unique design of closing valve allowing the replacement of metal parts with plastic ones will also be announced.


      A meeting entitled «Experience of Russian cities in MSW recycling – problems and solutions» will be held as part of the congress on the 23rd of November. The session will be devoted to issues related to the creation of the municipal solid waste collection and recycling system. The lack of landfills forces municipal authorities to use new waste treatment technologies, in particular, large-scale collection with subsequent pyrolysis of residues. Requirements to thermal recycling, ways to develop the waste treatment industry, specifics of the implementation of new technologies in Russia’s MSW sector will be discussed at a meeting to be attended by heads of the Industry Department and the Housing and Communal Department of the Moscow City Government, municipal services from across Russia and companies involved in MSW collection and recycling.


      A detailed report on the results of the congress, with the review of the market situation and market players’ proposals, will be made once the event ends. All the documents are planned to be published in print and online by mass media companies. They will also be sent to Russia’s governmental authorities and the State Duma (Parliament).

      Directions for innovations in the polymers manufacturing industry of the Republic of Tatarstan


      Tatarstan, the leading Russian region in petrochemicals, keeps surprising the industry with its numerous polymer projects – both in the polymer manufacturing and polymer conversion sectors.


      Together with new facilities for base polymer production and capacity expansions in the plastics conversion sector, the republic has been developing science projects. A growing number of innovations have been implemented in the republic. Gaps are numerous though, which opens immense prospects for the development of the plastic conversion industry.

      Thermoplastic polymers market in Russia.
      Analysis and forecasts


      The production and consumption of thermoplastics have been growing in line with Russia’s GNP. However, the amount and share of these materials in the total consumption are still considerably lower than those in developed countries.


      Our approach to the product range, quality management and pricing of polymer materials must be further revised. Localization of production facilities by international leaders of the consumer market will either eliminate these drawbacks quickly or reduce Russia’s output.

      Cable wastes and modifying additives. Review of new recycling technologies


      A team of Russian scientists have developed a cable waste recycling technology which will allow sorting tonnes of wastes of the cable industry and used cables into valuable nonferrous metals and initial polymers. A business plan concerning commercial equipment manufacture and a system of cable wastes conversion will be presented to partners and investors at the Congress of Plastics Converters.
