3.Cement production in Ukraine (PPT presentation, group work and discussion);
- Co-processing (PPT presentation, group work and discussion);

Active discussions among the participants made the training session lively and turned it to an interesting and informative event. The discussions were mostly centered around ways to improve the legislation on waste management, perms and regulations that would integrate the interest of all interested parties, namely, the cement manufacturers, profile ministries and agencies, public and NGOs. However, at the end of the training all the participants concluded mutually that industrial development producing less stress on the environment should be the priority for everyone.
