This study examines the situation of energy recovery of packaging waste in Finland, packaging waste utilization in the Russian neighboring areas and the state of operational and business environment of packaging waste recovery development schemes. Waste management and recovery of waste materials carry current and focal problems in Finland and in Russia. Both tightening national environmental legislation under the influence of EU regulations and the need to reclaim wastes have caused the state of change in the waste management field in Finland. In Russia, the situation of reclaiming waste materials is poorer and the recovery rates of waste fractions are low. Finnish energy production facilities seem to have obvious needs for replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and waste derived fuels given that the quality requirements exist. The situation with exceeding the demand and companies competing for waste derived fuels is already foreseeable. In the sparsely populated country, the collecting of waste for recovery is also a matter of feasibility. On the other hand, economic growth, the growing purchasing power and the supply of consumer goods in Russia, especially in the city of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region close to the Finnish border, have a measurable effect on the volume and composition of generated packaging waste, now mainly disposed in landfills. The cooperative Finnish-Russian cross-border recovery of packaging waste is a potential option for Finnish and Russian companies to develop their businesses and promote waste recovery. The biggest challenges in implementing new operations relate to legislative differences, foreign license practices and different waste management systems. In this paper, we present a theoretical model of an energy recovery scheme from the perspective of Finnish energy production facility.
