In Russia, after the end of the New Year holidays, it is necessary to open special state points where spruce trees will be accepted for further processing. Roman Korniets, president of the Natural Resources Association, put forward this proposal. He also called for a single recycling fee to be introduced and for this to be taken into account in the price of Christmas trees sold. reports RT cites a social activist’s appeal to the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Alexander Kozlov.
In his letter, Korniets noted that despite the popularity of artificial Christmas trees, most Russians prefer to decorate their homes with live trees. The issue of recycling Christmas trees, which are ideal for recycling after the holidays and for use as recyclable materials, comes up every year.
Therefore, Korniets called for the establishment of collection points for fir trees throughout the country. “Such points can operate in all regions of Russia from January to March,” he said in his letter.
Let us also remind you that experts take into account live spruce trees are more environmentally friendly than artificial ones, as they do not require special processing. It is stated that a plastic tree only pays for its ecological footprint if it is used for 20 years.
