The principles for determining recycling fee on decommissioned equipment

Introduction. The article presents the results of the research, whose purpose was to determine the optimal value of the recycling fee for decommissioned self-propelled machinery. A review of the studies on the management of production and consumption waste in the leading countries and Russia, allowed us to analyze solutions to this problem and models of economic support for disposal systems of decommissioned equipment. There is no method of determining the optimal recycling fee in Russia so far. Materials and Methods. Methods, algorithm and computer programs were developed to solve this problem. The necessary information was obtained by the course of the survey conducted in 12 regions of Russia among agricultural enterprises using agricultural machinery and equipment of specialized production, and from tests at agricultural enterprises using this technology; the methods of the said information are shown. The paper gives a list of parameters that ensure the development of the algorithm and computer programs that were used to determine the optimal recycling fee. Results. The developed method of determination, algorithm and computer programs allowed determining the optimal recycling fee to create a system of recycling self-propelled technology. It is shown that as the system for recycling decommissioned equipment develops, this value will decrease. The results of the study were used in preparing a Russian Government Regulation. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study showed that the recycling fee affects the competitiveness of self-propelled equipment. Both positive and negative sides of increasing the introduced in Russia recycling fee for vehicles are considered. It is proved that it is necessary to create a system of recycling these vehicles, the economic base of which can be fully provided by the recycling fee introduced in Russia.
