The presidential representative proposed introducing a recycling fee from abandoned ships in Russia
At the All-Russian Water Congress, the special representative of the Russian President on environmental issues, ecology and transport, Sergei Ivanov, proposed introducing a recycling fee from ships - by analogy with cars, TASS reports . The recycling fee is already paid by car manufacturers as a guarantee that the car will be disposed of after the end of its useful life. Water transport does not have such a guarantee, which is why, as Ivanov noted, there are so many abandoned ships in Russia.
