LEGAL REGULATION OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE SALE OF MSW AND SECONDARY MATERIAL RESOURCES IN RUSSIA

In Russia, increasing amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW) accompanied by environmental degradation have recently led to changes in legislation. Their main goal is to reduce landfilling, increase utilisation, and introduce the principle of extended producer responsibility (EPR). However, when implementing this principle, it is necessary to understand who is the owner of the waste and who is responsible for its disposal and recycling.
