Not only is new information being made available every day, but the terminology used to describe cleaner production and preventive environmental activitie5 is evolving.Terms such as pollution prevention, waste minimization, green productivity, source reduction, eco- effi c i e n cy and clean technologies are also used to refer to the Cleaner Production concept. Hence, searching available information can be a lengthy process. This is why, as part of its Cleaner Production Programme, UNEP IE has decided to publish this booklet, which presents a number of infoa-mation sources that can be of assistance in obtaining further information about cleaner production. • Cleaner production centres and activities. These activities are going on worldwide and can offer users experience and expertise in the practical implementation of cleaner production. Activities usually include training and technical assistance, demonstration projects, sectoral approaches, outreach and awareness raising efforts and policy studies. Therefore they can be a resource of materials and methodologies that can be adapted to other situations. • Publications. Documents highlighting experience and technical insights are available from many sources. This section provides an annotated listing of cleaner production documents available from LINEP lE as well as regular periodicals from other cleaner production activities. • Databases. With the emergence of more widespread use of computer technologies and the Internet, databases and WW'VV sites of cleaner production information are flourishing. This section provides an annotated listing of available resources. • AudioVi5uats. Critical to training and awareness raising, videos can be key elements to cleaner production activities. This section provides an annotated listing of many of the available videos which range from general awareness raising to technically specific topics. • Training Courses1 lnsritutes.andTraining Support Materials. These sections provide a brief listing of the cleaner production courses and available training curricula that exist worldwide. This is by no means an exhaustive listing as this dynamic topic generates new information every day. It is meant to give those interested in cleaner production a basic foundation as to the types of information available. We nevertheless hope that this document will help governments, officials and industry managers to find contacts and information sources useful for their everyday work. We welcome all comments to help us improve further editions of this booklet. Please contact us with any suggestions.

  • Cleaner Production
    Chapter 1 Cleaner Production 1 CLEANER PRODUCTION 1.1 What is Cleaner Production?1 Over the years, industrialised nations have progressively taken different approaches to dealing with environmental degradation and pollution problems, by: · ignoring the problem; · diluting or dispersing the pollution so that its effects are less harmful or apparent; · controlling pollution using ‘end-of-pipe’ treatment; · preventing pollution and waste at the source through a ‘Cleaner Production’ approach. The gradual progression from ‘ignore’ through to ‘prevent’ has culminated in the realisation that it is possible to achieve economic savings for industry as well as an improved environment for society. This, essentially, is the goal of Cleaner Production. Definition of Cleaner Cleaner Production is defined as the continuous application of an Production integrated preventive environmental strategy applied to processes, products and services to increase overall efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. · For production processes, Cleaner Production involves the conservation of raw materials and energy, the elimination of toxic raw materials, and the reduction in the quantities and toxicity of wastes and emissions. · For product development and design, Cleaner Production involves the reduction of negative impacts throughout the life cycle of the product: from raw material extraction to ultimate disposal. · For service industries, Cleaner Production involves the incorporation of environmental considerations into the design and delivery of services. Difference between The key difference between pollution control and Cleaner Production is Cleaner Production and one of timing. Pollution control is an after-the-event, ‘react and treat’ pollution control approach, whereas Cleaner Production reflects a proactive, ‘anticipate and prevent’ philosophy.

  • Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters Emerging Policy Solutions
    Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters Emerging Policy Solutions Policy HIGHLIGHTS Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters Emerging Policy Solutions “OECD countries have struggled to adequately address diffuse water pollution. It is much easier to regulate large, point source industrial and municipal polluters than engage with a large number of farmers and other land-users where variable factors like climate, soil and politics come into play. But the cumulative effects of diffuse water pollution can be devastating for human well-being and ecosystem health. Ultimately, they can undermine sustainable economic growth. Many countries are trying innovative policy responses with some measure of success. However, these approaches need to be replicated, adapted and massively scaled-up if they are to have an effect.” Simon Upton – OECD Environment Director POLICY H I GH LI GHT S After decades of regulation and investment to reduce point source water pollution, OECD countries still face water quality challenges (e.g. eutrophication) from diffuse agricultural and urban sources of pollution, i.e. pollution from surface runoff, soil filtration and atmospheric deposition. The relative lack of progress reflects the complexities of controlling multiple pollutants from multiple sources, their high spatial and temporal variability, the associated transactions costs, and limited political acceptability of regulatory measures. The OECD report Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters: Emerging Policy Solutions (OECD, 2017) outlines the water quality challenges facing OECD countries today. It presents a range of policy instruments and innovative case studies of diffuse pollution control, and concludes with an integrated policy framework to tackle this challenge. An optimal approach will likely entail a mix of policy interventions reflecting the basic OECD principles of water quality management – pollution prevention, treatment at source, the polluter pays and the beneficiary pays principles, equity, and policy coherence.

The critical principles involve fund교 mental understanding of diverse industrial processes, adherence to the easiest techniques of a hierarchy for reducing wastes, and utilization of an underlying thought process to achieve pollution prevention successes that are both technically feasible and cost-effective. Chemical engineering has played a major and unique role in this environmental field. Improving the sustainability of cleaner production will rest on including this subject in the curriculum of university engineering. 1.

  • Process Management to Obtain a Cleaner Production in Discrete Manufacturing
    Process Management to Obtain a Cleaner Production in Discrete Manufacturing SANTOS, C. J. a*, BRANDAO, V. B.a , EMBIRUÇU, M. a, BARBOSA, A. S.a a. Universidade Federal da Bahia, Bahia *[email protected]; Abstract In the national scene and the imminent presence of the water crisis in Brazil, it becomes mandatory to debate of environmental issues in the production environment as well as in its various sectors of activity. Human interference leads to a scarcity of natural resources caused, in most cases, poor management of these resources and the lack of proper management of waste generated in all processes. This article presents a case study of the implementation of a cleaner production methodology (CP) through the management processes of the existing workflows in a cleaning products company, aimed at implementing practical solutions to reduced consumption of water. These solutions, which include changes in the physical structure of the machines, alongside a joint work with the PPC and other areas involved, combining market strategies and productivity in order to reduce the setups of machines and use of water resources. Keywords: Sustainability, Cleaner, Water Resources Production. 1. Introduction Talk about environmental issues in the production environment becomes compulsory, in its different sectors of activity. The human interference direct a scarcity of natural resources scenario caused, in most cases, by poor management of these resources and the lack of proper management of waste generated in all processes. The applications of the resources found across the planet are linked to the past of humanity, in the archaic and manipulative way that society draw the necessary inputs for survival, as well as inputs for the very concentrated wealth in the minority of the people.
