A Cleaner Production - Definition and Project Plan
Up one level
1.1. Cleaner Production (CP)
Is a permanent use of a comprehensive integrated preventive environmental protection strategy for processes, products and services in order to increase their efficiency and to limit their adverse effect on human beings and the environment.
CP for production processes envisages a more effective and sustainable use of raw materials and power supplies, of toxic and hazardous materials and the prevention of industrial waste and contaminants appearing in water sources.
CP for products and services targets the mitigation of their environmental impact during their life cycle, from raw materials extraction to their use and final removal.
