Description
Summary:Waste management and utilization of waste materials are current and remarkable problems inNordic Countries and, especially, in Russia, In the city of St. Petersburg and Leningrad oblastwaste causes a difficult environmental and health problem because plenty of waste is left tothe environment without relevant handling, As a result, it is obvious that a negativeenvironmental impact will occur to the whole region of Gulf of Finland. It is possible todevelop joint solutions for the waste problems in cooperation between Russian and Finnishparties especially for the regions in the adjacent areas of the border. Increasing of volumesimproves the profitability of waste utilization and makes it easier to execute the necessaryinvestments. This favours the exchange and trade of materials derived and/or refined fromwaste and necessary technologies, between Russian and Finnish actors.T ASIC project "Exchange of secondary raw materials and technology between NorthwestRussia and Southeast Finland" is financing by the European Community, represented by theCommission of the European Communities.
