Development of Sustainable

Industrial EstatesIncrease your business opportunities by using GTZservices

Introduction

The fast and all too often uncontrolled spread of industrial estates in developing andtransition countries has resulted in serious environmental damage. There is a lack ofeconomic incentives to promote initial moves towards improved conditions as well as alack of social standards to ensure that basic rights of employees are respected.Increasing demand from these countries shows that there exists a need for advisoryservices in this area. GTZ can offer all encompassing expert guidance since it has

competence in all areas of sustainability as well as extensive experience in the areas oftechnical cooperation and international policy advice.

The concept Eco-Industrial Park combines the three elements of sustainability and istherefore consistent with the decisions taken by the UN Conference for Environment andDevelopment.

Example: Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Thailand

The Eco Forum of the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in the Eastern Seaboard of Thailanddeveloped into an idea exchange for eco-industrial projects between individual firms.Within two years over 450 projects with a total of 60 companies were presented with

projects ranging from material savings over training, transportation to joint energyprojects and safety plans.

Increase competitiveness by

focussing on your core businessGTZ's organized services will create synergies and attract new

companies to your industrial estate

Challenges

To stay competitive, companies need to cut costs, but at the same time they have toprovide quality products, adhere to delivery dates and match international standards.Although in an industrial estate companies are located close to one another, there israrely cooperation between the firms. Many services required by companies demand

special skills, resources and facilities that are often too expensive and complex to handlefor any single company. In fields like technical services, environmental protection,capacity building and security, where synergies leading to financial savings could easilybe achieved, companies are interacting inadequately.

Impacts and Benefits

Within an industrial estate, a specialized service company that provides tailoredtraditional services like transportation, waste disposal and electricity supply and otherspecifically designed services for industrial parks can create synergies and boostoperational effectiveness of complex tasks. By outsourcing and creating innovativeservices new business opportunities for SMEs will arise. Companies concentrating ontheir core business and their overall processes will run smoother. This will generate notonly benefits for individual companies but result in creating a positive image of being anindustrial park which is well managed, equipped with an up-to-date infrastructure andeconomically excelling service providers.

SMEs as a motor for productivity and

competitivenessGTZ strategies strengthen SMEs and lead to an increase in

productivity and competitiveness of industrial estates

Challenges

Although a significant part of the economy in developing countries is represented bySMEs, their activities are generally located in traditional branches with low levels ofproductivity and poor quality products. Since SMEs often lack internal access to relevantbusiness information and know-how, there is little or no technological dynamics and onlyfew have a chance to sustainable growth.If industrial estates do not establish supplier relations with local SMEs, the localeconomy, as well as the overall performance of the industrial estate will be weakenedand transport costs will increase.Only if park owners or large industries situated in an industrial estate actively support andintegrate SMEs located inside or close by the park into the supply chain can local SMEpotential be used.


GTZ has extensive expertise in promoting and strengthening SMEs. SMEs with well-trained employees and access to financial sources are able to increase their productivityand competitiveness and serve as true job creators as well as important players in thetechnology supply chain. SMEs can handle more complex tasks and are able to discovernew opportunities for cooperation as well as for new business strategies. Large

companies located in the industrial estate are able to outsource parts of their economicactivity in favour of the SMEs and thus concentrate on their core competence. This leadsto a better performance and lower costs of the large companies and therefore to anincrease in productivity and competitiveness of the whole industrial park.

Example:

Philippines: Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development for

Sustainable Employment Program

The private sector is increasingly considered by the Philippinegovernment as the driving force behind economic and socialdevelopment. However, structural and institutional problems arehampering efficient and dynamic management at both national andregional level.The SMEDSEP Program follows an integrated approach for thedevelopment of the private sector in the Philippines with a regional focuson the Visayas. The program, which is working on the development ofthe unfolding entrepreneurial potential and the promotion of competition,comprises the following four components: SME policy, businessdevelopment services for SMEs, access to financial services for SMEsand demand- driven vocational training programs.

Success through compliance with

national and international standardsGTZ helps to create an investor-friendly and attractive environment in

your industrial estate.

Challenges

An industrial park developer or manager needs to stay closely in touch with the changingfield of policy and regulations since it entails both opportunities and constraints to theindustrial estate. On a national level, policy-makers need to be aware of the specificpolicy requirements of eco-industrial developments. Special laws and regulations arenecessary to facilitate the exchange of material flow both inside the industrial estate andwith the surrounding area. On an international level, the non-application of international

standards and conventions leads to a decrease in competitiveness. Negative mediacoverage due to missing social and ecological minimum standards leads to decreasingsupport of the local community as well as to declining orders from international or largecompanies that are concerned about their image.


National policy: The application of national policies for industrial estates leads to a moreinvestor-friendly environment, which strengthens the estate as a whole. Definedprocesses provide quality assurance to the stakeholders of the industrial estate. Theeconomic weight as well as the benefits generated inside the park will lead to increasedtax revenues for the local communities as well as to additional employment and thus, astrengthening of the region.

International policy: The application of international standards and conventions leads toincreased competitiveness. A growing number of international groups will only invest inan industrial estate that is operating according to international rules and standards. Theapplication of international standards provides quality assurance to companies andinvestors, competitiveness will be increased and thus more companies will be attractedto the industrial estate.

Increasing productivity by using

innovative management methodsSustainable development can provide faster growth and higher

productivity through innovative management systems

Challenges

In an ever more globalized world entrepreneurs who want to stay competitive are facingthe challenge to adapt production to constantly changing conditions.Due to fierce competition firms are facing a growing pressure to cut costs and at thesame time boost productivity and environmental performance. The increasing demand inindustrialised countries for sustainably produced products and the need to comply withinternational production standards as well as the growing importance of environmental

issues in the national context of developing countries require a rethinking and thewillingness to introduce innovative management structures and production methods.Since an industrial estate can only operate as successfully as the industries locatedwithin it, it is of great interest for any industrial estate to face these challenges and tohelp its companies to restructure their management and production methods.


By using GTZ services the cost structure of companies can be optimised, more efficientuse of raw materials and energy can be realized and the non-product output can bereduced. The operational and disposal costs will be minimized and productivity willincrease. Due to innovative management systems the information flow between thedifferent companies located inside the park will be enhanced and more companies can

be integrated into the supply chain. This leads to an increase in the overall parkproductivity and competitiveness and consequently more companies and customers willbe attracted to the industrial estate. Additionally sustainable production methods will leadto an enhanced image of the industrial estate and help to qualify products for a broadermarket.

Regional development policy as a

key factor for successLocal communities as important stakeholders for your industrial estate

Challenges

One of the most important factors to guarantee an industrial estates success is itsintegration into regional planning. An industrial estate that is isolated from the regionalinfrastructure and the local communities or that planned its integration insufficiently willnot be able to integrate local suppliers or attract the local workforce to the industrialestate. Additionally, if the planning undertaken was insufficient, instead of benefiting fromeconomic profits and additional employment opportunities, local communities could faceconsequences like noise, environmental pollution and the risk of accidents and thus, canbecome major opponents to industrial parks. To avoid these problems and to guaranteea frictionless integration of the industrial estate into the local community, aspects likeland management and resource protection have to be addressed and evaluated from thebeginning.


The integration of industrial estates into the local infrastructure and the regional planningpolicy will stabilize the position of the industrial estate and increase its influence whennegotiating with local politicians, local administration and citizens.Good relations to the local communities result in a motivated work force and a positive

image of the industrial estate in the region. The systematic management of communityrelations by taking on social responsibility, employing the local workforce, establishingsupply chains with companies in the area and providing services (such as waste watertreatment or waste disposal) to local authorities leads to increased identification of theemployees with their place of work and thus to smoother business operations. Theindustrial estate improves its image and therefore attracts better-qualified workers.

Chinese companies improve their

productivity through environmentalmanagementAchieving pollution reduction through improved environmental

policy measures

Scenario

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute over 90% of all companiesoutside the agricultural sector in developing countries. In China, SMEs provide jobs fortwo-thirds of the national workforce and account for about 60% of the national industrialoutput value and over 50% of GDP. However, despite significant progress made byChinese SMEs in past decades, many of them still use outdated technologies; haveambiguous ownership structures and division of responsibility as well as having a severeenvironmental impact.

While the pressure from national and local environmental authorities is mounting, mostChinese SMEs lack awareness, motivation, long-term vision, information andmanagement skills necessary to address their environmental impacts. Existingenvironmental management systems are too complex and too expensive to beimplemented by many SMEs. Under these conditions, there is a growing demand forSME-oriented management tools that deliver tangible, quantifiable results and helpSMEs develop their own management capacities.

EnvironmentalManagementTianjin,

China

Project

The national (China State Environmental Protection Agency) and localenvironmental authorities (e.g. Tianjin Environmental ProtectionBureau) and small and medium-sized enterprises should be able toinitiate and support sustainable measures for the improvement of eco-

efficiency as a result of this program.

Specific objective of the project is the development of suitableenvironmental management tools for SMEs that can help Chineseenterprises apply eco-efficiency approaches and face current marketchallenges. To reach this objective, the project undertakes a number oftraining programs based on the GTZ-P3U "Profitable EnvironmentalManagement PREMA" programme. PREMA training aims to increasean enterprises efficiency in terms of utilization and conservation ofmaterial and resources, strengthening their organizational capacities toreact to and initiate changes, and improving their environmentalperformance.

Participants are trained to apply a method of matching costs tomaterial flows to identify the most important potentials for improvement

in their respective companies. Following an analysis of existingproblems, participants develop detailed action plans and improvementmeasures, assisted by qualified trainers and international and nationalsector experts.


14/22

GTZ supports the development of suitableenvironmental management tools for SMEs that canhelp Chinese enterprises apply eco-efficiencyapproaches and face current market challenges.

Impacts

Since its inception at the beginning of 2003, the project has achieved positive impacts inthree areas: Long-term application of PREMA as an eco-efficiency tool in about fifteenof twenty-two SMEs trained in total; creation of a local training team capable ofadvancing PREMA trainings; and dissemination of PREMA as eco-efficiency concept inthree provinces.

Within a six-month period, participants of PREMA intensive training in Tiajninimplemented over 30 improvement measures that resulted in average economicsavings of Euro 3 000 per measure and significant environmental benefits, particularlyin the areas of energy consumption and resource utilization. Although exact figures vary

significantly with size of the participating companies and availability of funds forimplementation, measures initiated have clearly demonstrated the link betweenimproved environmental performance and increased profits and motivated most of theparticipating SMEs to integrate PREMA methods in daily operations.

The project was successful not only in encouraging participants to take on responsibilityfor PREMA in their companies themselves, but also in creating a network among SMEs.Network meetings have been highly appreciated by participants as effective instrumentsto facilitate communication among the companies, encourage information, and mobilizeand access resources needed for further PREMA implementation.

Andrha Pradesh Eco-Industrial

EstateDevelopment of a pilot eco-industrial estate in Andrha Pradesh,

India

Scenario

India is the worlds sixth largest and second fastest growing producer of greenhousegases.In some regions pollution and depletion of natural resources have reached suchdimensions that they represent an immense risk to human health.

Nevertheless, it is necessary to attract more investment to India and the promotion ofspecial economic zones is a step taken to improve the living conditions of the Indianpopulation.

In the state of Andrha Pradesh a special economic zone (SEZ) will be developed. Toavoid overloading the carrying capacity of the region and to ensure that the pollutioncaused by a conglomerate of industries is not going to lead to any further harm as well asto stimulate international investment, the Indian Central Pollution Board in cooperationwith GTZ supports the Andrha Pradesh Industry Infrastructure Development Corporationto develop a model eco-industrial estate.

AndrhaPradeshEco-IndustrialEstate,India

Project

The project aims to develop a pilot Eco-Industrial Park. The devisedstrategy will be applied to the site right from the inception stage to ensureproper planning and development of the estate. In addition, one of the

existing industrial estates in Nacharam or Mallapur that are known forcausing pollution problems will be encouraged to apply eco-industrialprinciples.

The projects objective is to improve the planning process of the designof the eco-industrial estate. Possible industries and technologies as wellas site suitability will be evaluated and problems associated with themanufacturing process addressed.An environmental management plan, which includes policies for wasteminimization, air pollution control, hazardous waste collection, thedevelopment of a green belt etc. will be established to lead toimprovements in the overall management.

GTZ supports the Andrha Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure cooperation in

the implementation process with information about state-of-the-arttechnology and training of staff. Clean technologies, waste minimizationand pollution control measures will be demonstrated and strategies tomonitor the progress and impacts of implementation will be established.


16/22

GTZ offers integrated strategies for the development ofEco-Industrial Estates.In India a special economic zone will be developed. TheEco-Industrial Park concept helps to control pollution

and to stimulate international investment.

Impacts

The development of the Special Economic Zone as an Eco-Industrial Estate will lead toa platform for more effective policy and regulations in the area of industrial andenvironmental management. This will be established in dialogue between state andlocal governments and provided for by the cooperation partners (GTZ; Central PollutionControl Board; Andrha Pradesh Pollution Control Board and Andrha Pradesh IndustrialInfrastructure Corp.) Hence, sustainable development in Andhra Pradesh and thespread of the concept of Eco-Industrial Parks in the region will be fostered.

Jababeka Industrial Estate

An Indonesian-German Environmental Cooperation Program (TimePeriod 2003 2007)

Scenario

As is the case in many other Asian countries, Indonesia has readily implemented theindustrial estate concept in order to accommodate the specific needs of foreign investors.Establishing industrial estates is perceived as a promising local economic development

strategy to attract international investment by facilitating the often lengthy process ofobtaining permits and licenses and by providing infrastructure access such as roadsystems, water, waste disposal, electricity, telecommunication lines, etc. However,expected benefits could not be realized as envisaged.

Jababeka Industrial Estate is a modern agglomeration of 987 companies located near thecapital, which has large multinational corporations from all different sectors as their mainclients (about 65% are foreign investors). In comparison with other Indonesian IndustrialEstates, Jababeka is quite active in the field of environmental management. A fewindicators of Jababekas involvement in the environmental sector are theirenvironmentally friendly concept, the ISO 9001-2000 certification of the estatemanagement, and an environmental monitoring system.

JababekaIndustrialEstate,

Indonesia

Project

In February 2003, Jababeka Industrial Estate (JAB) voiced its interestto incorporate the concept of Eco-Industrial Development within theirindustrial estate and appealed to the Indonesian Ministry of Environment

(MoE) for support and cooperation. A Memorandum of Understandingformalized this private initiative to develop and implement Eco-IndustrialDevelopment (EID) concepts. Thus, the Ministry of Environment andJababeka Industrial Estate, with GTZ/ProLH acting as a facilitator,agreed to cooperate in the implementation of the first Eco-IndustrialEstate in Indonesia.

In a first screening several problems and hazards have been detected bythe Jababeka working group and GTZ, which are in need ofimprovement: Need for better telecommunication and roads to regulate the

traffic congestion into and out of the estate Improvement of the insufficient transportation service Organization of a structure to actively involve the community

Organization and control of an appropriate hazardous wastemanagement system (collection, disposal, transport, recycling) Improved cooperation with the informal waste sector in order to

prevent illegal dumping Improvement of environmental data required by government


18/22

The ministry of Environment, Jababeka Industrial Estateand GTZ cooperate in the implementation of the firstEco-Industrial Estate in Indonesia.

Impacts

The Eco-Industrial development in Jababeka Industrial Estate is an ongoing processand will continue at least until 2007, which marks the end of Phase II of the project. UntilJune 2003 a Good Housekeeping Workshop (GTZ tool) and a Chemical Workshophave been conducted with 14 companies. Seven companies are identified as EIDchampions and have been asked to documenttheir environmental and social activities,so that they can share their success storieswith other factories, and, thus, motivate andpromote interest in EID. In an effort to enable the identification of development issues,synergies and hot spots/risks, a situational analysis of Jababeka is currently inpreparation.Presently the Jababeka facilitation team is developing criteria and a database for Eco-

Industrial Development. The database will be linked to the EID-Centre and anInformation Centre (Eco-Centre) will promote positive EID experiences at Jababeka.

Philippine Economic Zone Authority in cooperation withGTZ develops an eco- industrial strategy that should bedisseminated to all economic zones in the Philippinesfor adaptation.

Impacts

Since the beginning of project activities in January 2003, PEZA has established a high-level dialogue with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources at thenational and regional levels to reorganize implementation procedures. Key issue is thesimplification and time reduction of licensing procedures for companies, thus reducingtheir overhead cost.PEZA is conducting an industrial zone survey to gain a detailed picture of issues andneeds. The findings will be discussed with companies and stakeholders and areintended as a baseline for a participatory planning process that will identify solutions.At the pilot site in Mactan, an Eco-Forum has been established as a regular event toimprove communication between the zones management and company

representatives. In longer intervals, stakeholder roundtables are organized to discusscurrent zone management issues with local government units, industry representativesand the community. Through the communication with stakeholders and companies, fivekey issues of concern have been identified for Mactan. Waste management, safe wasterecycling and disposal are critical issues due to a lack of facilities and qualifiedmanagement. Infrastructure and zone management are also of concern. A number ofcompanies feel the need for guidance to be able to comply with international standardsand market requirements.

Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate

Establishment of Eco-Industrial Networks in the Map Ta PhutIndustrial Estate

Scenario

During the last four decades Thailand was able to achieve extraordinary growth rates.While increasing overall wealth, the uncontrolled growth also led to dramatic increases inenvironmental pollution like contaminated soils, a decline in drinking water quality orincreasing concentration of mercury in coastal areas.

Although Thai companies are starting to realize that compliance with internationalstandards is of high importance, the introduction of sustainable production methods isstill considered primarily a cost factor that they are reluctant to bear.

To stimulate controlled industrialisation outside Bangkok, the Industrial Estate Authorityof Thailand (IEAT) was founded some 30 years ago. It is responsible for the control andsupervision of 29 industrial estates, where more than 400,000 employees are working inapproximately 2,000 factories. Eight estates operate under the responsibility andmanagement of IEAT, whereas the remaining estates operate as joint ventures withprivate investors and developers.

Industrial estates with their high number of industries in a designated area can produce aconcentration of pollution, waste and by-products, which are increasingly the subject ofconcern. Rising complaints by people affected forced governmental agencies includingIEAT to act urgently and encourage industries to become more sustainable andenvironmentally friendly in their production lines.

MapTaPhutIndustrialEstate,

Thailand

Project

The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and GTZ implemented theDEE+ Net Project (Development of Eco-Industrial Estates andNetworks) to introduce eco-industrial principles into Thai industrial and

environmental policies and regulations to upgrade industrial production.The project objective was to enable industrial estate developers, estateoperators and enterprises in selected industrial estates to apply theEco-Industrial Development approach to develop their businesses.

In order to stimulate eco-industrial development, GTZ assisted IEAT inintroducing a sustainable eco-industrial service structure for theoperation of its industrial estates. Activities focused on four areas:

1. Developing an Eco-Industrial Park concept2. Establishment of Eco-Industrial Networks3. Institutional capacity development for Eco-Industrial Estates

Management4. Promoting political support for Eco-Industrial Development

One of the pilot parks introducing eco-efficiency was the industrialestate Map Ta Phut. The majority of companies in this industrial estateare petrochemical manufacturers with various production facilitiesranging from refineries to plastic, fertilizer and other chemicalindustries.


22/22

GTZ and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailandsuccessfully developed an Eco-Industrial Park conceptand established an Eco-Industrial Network in Map TaPhut Industrial Estate.

Impacts

GTZ advised IEAT in developing an adequate service structure for the introduction ofeco-efficient production processes and the improvement of the overall environmentaland economic performance to boost the attractiveness of the industrial estate.In Map Ta Phut, about 60 companies participated in the project. IEAT improved thecollaboration of these firms in different areas like the use and re-use of raw materials,by-products and energy, common transport services, joint marketing and humanresources management and one-stop community relations. Environmentally sound

technologies were introduced and pollution as well as safety risks for factory employeesand the public, especially in the vicinity of Map Ta Phut, were minimized. Thedevelopment of a so-called Eco Forum increased the exchange of ideas between firmsand led to the spread of eco-efficient technologies and management practicesthroughout the estate.
