The Ministry of Economy and Commerce of Kyrgyzstan proposes to impose a temporary ban on the export of recyclable paper and cardboard (waste paper and recyclable paper. — Note of 24.kg news agency) from the country.
The ministry explained that the moratorium was already imposed in 2021. The reason is that domestic companies do not have enough raw materials for production and processing. This may lead to their closure. Since the deficit persists, businessmen in their appeals ask for a prolongation of the moratorium on the export of waste paper.
A number of large enterprises for the production of paper products operate in Kyrgyzstan, such as Bishkek Karton LLC, Alikhan Company LLC, Altyn-Azhydaar LLC, Paper Company LLC, Efes LTD LLC, IFA LLC and Kosh Tamchy LLC.
According to Altyn-Azhydaar and Kosh Tamchy, production enterprises of the Kyrgyz Republic are experiencing a shortage of renewable raw materials, production capacities are used by 30-40 percent.
