The panelists discussed the possible contribution of European companies to the development of the Far East economy and the prospects of implementing sustainable development principles in the transition to a "circular economy" in a geographically remote region of Russia.

In his speech, Frank Schauff described the Far East as an "interface" between Europe and Asia. Speaking about the global trend of business transition to a more resource-efficient economy, he spoke about the Association's own experience: for two years now, the polymer waste collection and recycling project has been actively developing.
