Prospects for the development of domestic enterprises for the production of plastic tableware

The article analyzes the main trends in the market of disposable plastic tableware. It is shown that while reducing the share of imports of final products, there remains a significant dependence on foreign suppliers of equipment for the production of both finished products and prepared materials - polystyrene and polypropylene. The scheme for the formation of value added in the integrated system involved in the production of plastic utensils, including enterprises for the production of raw materials, equipment and final products. Considering that equipment production is characterized by the highest level of processing of raw materials, as well as the import indicators given in the article for the considered product categories, the author concludes that about 50-70% of the consolidated value added formed in this system is formed in foreign jurisdictions. The feasibility of developing comprehensive measures to stimulate the localization of the production components of this system in Russia with the aim of ensuring the growth of the taxable base and increasing the number of high-performing jobs is shown. The effectiveness of these measures is directly determined by the availability of qualified personnel and the orientation of production to the introduction of innovative products to the market, including those based on biopolymers.
