Interdepartmental Environmental Center, IEC National Academy if Sciences (NAS) and Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MENR)

Interdepartmental Environmental Center (IEC), was established in December 1993 according to the Order signed by NAS and The Ministry of Environmental Protection. The main objective of the IEC is to "scientifically and methodologically regulate and coordinate the implementation of the results of the scientific researches and to introduce technologies and equipment that can assure maximum environmental and economic effect" as described in the Order. One of the main IEC features is the fact that there are only a few specialists employed on a permanent basis. For specific assignments, there is a wide range of key specialists and companies involved on a contractual basis. In fact, the IEC is a consulting and engineering institution operating according to Ukrainian rules and regulations.

The activities of the Interdepartmental Environmental Center: Scientific, methodical, organizational and technical guidance, provided by NAS, gives the possibility of extensive involvement of scientific institutions and organizations (of NAS), leading scientists, and efficient use of their scientific and technological capacity for the achievement of described objective. For that reason, the IEC has, from the beginning of its activity, undertaken several assignments of strategic importance as:
The preparation of the Concept and Draft Program for disposal, neutralization and elimination of the protective chemical agents (for plants) that can no longer be used for their original purpose
The preparation of the concept for the use of non-traditional and renewable sources of energy in Ukraine
The preparation of the concept for hazardous waste management and Draft National Program for toxic waste management
The preparation of national legislative documents, among others: Drafts on the Laws of Ukraine "On Waste", "On Hazardous Waste" and various by-laws, which initiated the establishment of modern waste management sector (especially for hazardous wastes).

In order to recognize the IEC as a leading scientific-technological institution dealing with the waste management issues, it was provided with functions similar to that of a main institution of the Ministry of Environmental Safety which assures organizational, methodological, scientific and technical support in the field of waste management, with a subsequent establishment of the National Waste Management Center on the base of the IEC.

From this point of time, the main activity was focused on finding solutions to the of hazardous waste management problems. In order to find successful solutions to the problems described, the centre co-operated with NAS and the related ministries, institutions and organizations, higher educational institutions, industrial enterprises, etc.

The collaboration resulted in the:
Adoption of the Law On the National Hazardous Waste Management Program (adopted by Ukrainian Parliament – Supreme Soviet)
Development of the Draft National Action Plan for the elimination of risk related to the stockpiled obsolete or prohibited pesticides in Ukraine (awaiting approval of the central authorities)
Development, test and evaluation of the new sludge and slag recycling technologies for the materials, containing hard metals as: vanadium, copper, chrome, etc.
Development of fundamentally new technology for neutralization and elimination of the obsolete pesticides
Development of technology for the removal of hydrogen sulphide from biogas that will significantly expand the field of biogas use
Development, certification, and production of the wide range of state standard samples, standard samples, test compounds and pure chemicals for analytical studies of the toxic matters content in the environment. IEC is defined to be a core institution of the Ministry for Standardization of Ukraine
Development of short-term program for immediate actions related to the introduction of hazardous waste neutralization and elimination technology (Kahrkiv Oblast)
