Particular emphasis  was made on the principles of creating an effective business strategy nowaday.  He particularly said,  - "One of the major problems of today - the relationship between Russia and the United States. Today, they are one of the lowest points of development. This is the worst point since the Cold War. Our task today is to show the world that Russia is open to everybody. Russia  really is needed   by the world   and  is a guarantee of its stability. Furthermore  we are sure  that our country is - the very second pole, which is needed by all countries, including the United States. Any progression  depends on the existence of  two poles .... We are confident that both Russia and  foreign scrap processing  sphere is a template for the future growth of the industry recovery. That is the same  industry , which now  procures   90 billion euro to German economy.
 
But recycling is not just the economy, it is the  caring about the environment, and thus the future of our planet. We are confident that Russia will be able to show to  the world an example of taking care of his  land. "

Up to fifty percent of what is thrown out like garbage, can be easily reused. What is needed is a transition to the industrial processing, which will involve the most waste in economic turnover .
