OREANDA-NEWS Industry experts in Poland have sounded the alarm due to the large volumes of "primary" plastic imported from Russia. This is stated in an article posted on the Interia portal.

The article says that, despite the embargo on Russian raw materials, which is in effect in almost all European countries, plastic from the Russian Federation continues to enter the Polish market. "Here it becomes a cheaper alternative to Polish—made plastics, especially recycled ones," the author notes.

In addition, the article mentioned another problem — the taxes that Warsaw has to pay for its presence on the market of recycled plastics. According to the Ministry of Finance of the country, in 2021 alone, almost $ 400 million of this tax had to be paid from the budget. At the same time, experts believe that last year this amount could exceed $ 460 million.
