13. Three phases to ensure innovative improvements. 1- Each regoin will describe the important regional factors for the problem. 2- Each region will use input from the other regions to generate possible solutions for the defined problem. 3- Each region will work out one or two innovative solutions. Phase 1 Each region will describe the important regional factors for the problem. Phase 2 Each region will use input from the other regions to generate possible solutions for the defined problem. Phase 3 Each region will work out one or two innovative solutions. Three phases to ensure innovative improvements

15. Communication The partners will set up a communication programme for the whole project. The results will be communicated between the partners. The brochures and articles will inform every interested person. Articles in specialist journal will inform interested people. The website will inform the partners, interested personen and organisations. The main documents of the project will be translated into the language of the participating region Brochure Articles Seminars Translation Annual meetings Excurions Reports Newsletter Website Communication

16. Problem description High amount of production and consumption lead to growing waste production in all European countries. Waste is disposed of by landfilling in most European countries. The rules in European countries differ, some waste companies choose acheap solutions which not always friendly for the disposal. Technological and organisational experiences is needed to develop and find new solutions of waste management.

17. Contribution to the objectives of the Interreg IIIC Programme Exchange about waste disposal. Plans for innovation on the issues of landfill and reuse. Separate collection and cost effective organisations structures for management. Co-operation among regions from different Interreg zones on waste management. Website that provides the partners the opportunity to collect information about development. Exchange about waste disposal. Plans for innovation on the issues of landfill and reuse. Separate collection and Cost effective organisations structures for management. Co-operation among regions from different Interreg zones on waste management. Contribution to the objectives of the Interreg IIIC Programme
