16CONCLUSIONS
1. Countries worldwide have similar problems with waste due to trans - boundary
pollutions and globalization.
2. Environmental Industrial Policy Center (EIPC) works on collecting andproviding the implementation of the BAT/BEP for Waste management, including
eco-industrial symbiosis for Russia.
3. Actually the environmental Law in the Russian Federation is changing anddemands new methods and technologies due to high penalties and ecologicallevy.
4. Russia has a very rich resource – fundamental science of the Russian Academyof Science. The great potential of the Russian scientific and engineering centersand laboratories could be used to resolve the ecological problems in the world.
5. Only joint efforts of Governments, Business and Public organizations could savethe Earth from the ecological catastrophe.
6. EIPC proposes to create the Unified Analyses System (worldwide ecologicalnetwork) on the base of UNCRD web-portal. The possibilities of the UN
services could be involved.
7. EIPC invites to cooperate to establish an eco-industrial symbiosis in the pilot
region in Russia.
