Manufacturers and importers face fines for failure to submit reports. Schedule of online meetings on reporting

The Russian Environmental Operator reminds about fines for failure to submit reports under the extended producer responsibility (EPR). The deadline for submitting reports is April 15. To fill out the reports correctly, recyclers can attend a series of free explanatory online seminars of the REO.

“April 15 is the deadline for accepting reports on the disposal of waste from the use of goods. By this deadline, companies must report on compliance with the disposal standards. Failure to submit the report on time or providing incorrect data will result in administrative liability - a fine under Article 8.5.1 and 8.41.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. To better understand the EPR rules and the procedure for submitting reports, companies can attend free online seminars of the REO, which will be held until April 15. This will help to avoid mistakes and fines,” said Irina Tarasova, General Director of the PPC REO.

The REO seminars will be held online from April 9 to 10, the schedule is available at the link. Anyone from the business community can take part in the meetings.

The rules for filing reports under the EPR and paying the environmental fee have changed since January 1, 2024. 2025 is a transitional year in the EPR reform from the "old" rules to the new regulation.
