“BoomBattle”: you can become a participant in the environmental action until November 15

The campaign for collecting waste paper “BoomBattle” is taking place throughout the country under the auspices of the All-Russian environmental public movement “Ecosystem”. Volunteers of the movement conduct thematic lessons in educational institutions and remind about the importance of recycling. “With various environmental activities, be it a road show or a paper festival, we try to show the public that paper is an important resource, the conservation of which is available to everyone,” said Andrey Rudnev, co-chairman of the Ecosystem movement.

“BoomBattle” is held in support of the national project “Ecology” and is aimed at creating a circular economy, in which waste will receive a second life. 98 enterprises in Russia are engaged in processing paper and cardboard. Industry experts note a shortage of raw materials. “In total, approximately 4.5 million tons of paper waste are processed annually. The 500 tons of raw materials collected in just a couple of weeks by the BoomBattle campaign is a significant volume, but there is still a shortage of waste paper in the industry. That is why it is so important to revive the tradition of handing over paper and cardboard among the population – the help of Russians in this matter is invaluable – both for the economy and for the environment,” says Alexey Sergeev, executive director of the League of Waste Paper Recyclers.

To participate in the promotion, you must register on the boombatl.rf project website, hand over waste paper to a collection point and upload the report to your personal account. All participants will receive gifts.
