What is waste?
There are literally hundreds words for different types of waste:
• greenhouse loss• hidden losses• leakage• non-conforming material• overfill• packaging• process loss• rework• second quality• stock loss• washingsand etc.
• allowance• BOD• broke• contaminated solids• core loss• customer returns• damage• draining• dust• effluent• evaporation• furnace loss

Where are you now?
• Only a change in technology would eliminate waste completely
• We are optimising our processes and achieving big cost reductions
• Waste is coming down as we change the way we work
• We have identified our waste and monitoring it
• We plan to reduce waste
• Waste is cost and regulatory issue
• Waste is only disposal issue
• Waste is not an issue

Cleaner Production Definition
“The continuous application of an integrated
preventive environmental strategy applied to
processes, products, and services to increase
overall efficiency and reduce risks to humans
and the environment.”
(United Nations Environment Programme)

CP versus End-of-Pipe approach
Cleaner Production
Continuous improvement
Progress towards use of closed loop or continuous cycle processes
Everyone in the community has a role to play; partnerships are essential
Active anticipation and avoidance of pollution and waste
Elimination of environmental problems at their source
Involves new practices, attitudes and management techniques and stimulates technical advances
Pollution Control and Waste Management
One-off solutions to individual problems
Processes result in waste materials for disposal a pipeline with resources in and wastes outSolutions are developed by experts often in isolation
Reactive responses to pollution and waste after they are createdPollutants are controlled by waste treatment equipment and methods
Relies mainly on technical improvements to existing technologies
![Page 29: INTRODUCTION TO CLEANER PRODUCTION (CP) CONCEPTS AND PRACTICE For UNEP, Division of Technology, Industry, and Economics Prepared by the Institute of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551b00965503462e578b51b0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

1. Planning & Organization
• Obtain management commitment
• Identify potential barriers and solutions
• Set plant-wide goals
• Organize a project team
![Page 39: INTRODUCTION TO CLEANER PRODUCTION (CP) CONCEPTS AND PRACTICE For UNEP, Division of Technology, Industry, and Economics Prepared by the Institute of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551b00965503462e578b51b0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
2. Assessment
• Identify sources
• Identify waste/ pollution causes
• Generate possible options
![Page 40: INTRODUCTION TO CLEANER PRODUCTION (CP) CONCEPTS AND PRACTICE For UNEP, Division of Technology, Industry, and Economics Prepared by the Institute of Environmental](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/551b00965503462e578b51b0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

41
Why are material and energy balances so important?The material and energy balances are not only used to identify the inputs and outputs of mass and energy but their economic significance is related to costs, such as:
• cost of raw material in waste
• cost of final product in waste
• cost of energy losses
• cost of handling waste
• cost of handling waste
• cost of transporting waste
• cost of solid wastes disposal
• cost of pollution charges and penalties

Option generation (1)• Creative Problem Solving (CPS):
- Find facts - Identify the problem- Generate ideas to solve the problems - Define criteria to be used to select solutions/ideas
• Screening of ideas / options:- Select all ideas/options that may be implemented immediately- The remaining options/ideas should then be divided into three boxes:
- Good housekeeping- Interesting options but more analysis is needed- Waiting box + Rejected
• Weighted sum method to prioritise options in second group:- What are the main benefits to be gained by implementing this option?- Does the necessary technology exist to implement the option?- How much does it cost? Does it appear to be cost effective, meriting in
depth economic feasibility assessment?- Can the option be implemented within a reasonable timeframe without
disrupting production?

44
Option generation (2)Traditional brainstorming
• Formulate problem (problem identification)
• Define objective of the brainstorming session
• Follow the rules of brainstorming:
- Select a secretary to write down all ideas (The secretary can't take part in the idea generation)
- Select a group leader (the group leader shall control that the four main rules are followed)
• Close the idea generation after 30-40 minutes

CP and financial institutionsEnvironmental evaluation can help:
•Establish an exclusion list
•Identify environmental risks in every project
•Understand the financial institution’s exposure to environmental risks and liabilities
•Monitor the environmental risks of transactions and respond
•Evaluate risks and liabilities in foreclosure or re-structuring activities

What are the benefits of Cleaner Production?
Financial advantages:
• Usually a short Payback Period of only months• Many low-cost options• Quick to implement• Improved cash flows• Greater shareholder value• Better access to capital and appeal to financial
institutions• Inherent preventive approach leads to insurance savings

Main factors affecting exposure to environmentally-derived risks
The nature of environmental risks inherent in business activity of the client
The size and term of, and the security for, the transaction
The client’s ability and commitment to adequately manage these risks

If a CP project is presented to a financial institution, it should be clear that the company already undertook voluntary actions aimed at:
rationalising the use of raw materials, water and energy inputs, reducing the loss of valuable material inputs and therefore reducing operational costs
reducing the volume and/or toxicity of waste, wastewater and emissions related to production
improving working conditions and occupational safety in a company
making organisational improvements
improving environmental performance by the implementation of no-cost and low-cost measures from the company’s funds
reusing and/or recycling the maximum of primary inputs and packaging materials

Environmental investment opportunities
loans to enterprises to finance required or desired investments in technologies resulting in direct and indirect environmental benefits
loans to municipalities to finance investments in environmental infrastructure
loan guarantees to both enterprises and municipalities for “soft” credits from national or regional environmental funds for environmental investments
loans to finance businesses providing environmental goods and services

What have we learned? The CP approach reduces pollutant generation at every stage of
the production process
CP can be achieved through:- good operating practices- process modification- technology changes- raw material substitution- redesign and/or reformulation of product
The economic advantages of CP are: - cost effectiveness- increased process efficiency- improved product quality and enterprise competitiveness- cost of final treatment and disposal is minimised
Effluent treatment, incineration, and waste recycling outside the production process are not regarded as CP
