On May 12, footage of a fire in the Moscow region appeared in telegram news channels and the media: a huge column of black smoke rose from a warehouse in Dzerzhinsky engulfed in flames. Later it turned out that several tens of thousands of tires burned in the warehouse of ORIS PROM LLC. This is not the first fire for this company: on September 5, 2022, a major fire also occurred on the territory of ORIS PROM LLC. Representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations then said that the fire area was 800 square meters. In August 2019, there was again a fire on the territory of ORIS PROM LLC. The secret of the increased flammability of ORIS PROM LLC warehouses is simple – it is part of the company’s business scheme. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) operating in Russia suggests that each manufacturer must dispose of a certain proportion of produced goods after they have been used by consumers. And so dozens and hundreds of tire manufacturers turn to ORIS PROM LLC, enter into contracts, pay money so that the recycler, which is the company, disposes and processes hundreds of tons of used tires. Information about disposal with supporting documents is checked by Rosprirodnadzor. Only at ORIS PROM there is nothing to check – everything was burned in the flames of the fire. Almost any volume can be claimed to have died in a fire. And Rosprirodnadzor will never be able to understand whether the declared volume really burned – everything turned into smoke. And everything is fine with ORIS PROM: money under contracts flows like a river, disposal reports are submitted to Rosprirodnadzor, and the flames do their job. But this is why such “recycling” is needed, what kind of air the residents of Moscow and the Moscow region will breathe, and where Rosprirodnadzor is looking – for the time being it is hidden in the smoke.
