What are the advantages of Cleaner production?

What is cleaner production?

Cleaner production is defied by UNEP or United Nations of environmental programs, as the continuous application of an integrated environmental strategy to processes, products, and services to increase efficiency, and reduce risks to humans and environment. This definition has been used for all programs related to the promotion of cleaner production and still continues to be a valid definition. 

Aims of cleaner production: 

Cleaner production is intending to minimize wastes and emissions out of industrial processes through source reduction strategies and then maximize production output. Improvements of organization and technology can help to suggest better choices in use of materials and energy and to avoid waste generation of water, gaseous, emissions, and noises.  

Advantages of cleaner production:

1.    Cleaner production is the best practice to integrate strategy that maximizes profits by making more efficient uses of inputs, such as energy, water, and raw materials.

2.    Adopting cleaner production should make it possible to minimize wastes and pollutions at source.

3.    Cleaner production is the most important key instrument for carbon dioxide emission reductions and an effective way to mitigate risks which are causing and accelerating the climate change.

Interdependence economic and environmental systems: 

The confluence of global economic and environmental crisis that has been known in the recent years might consolidate the understanding of the interdependence between economics and the environmental systems and thus provides the driving forces to international efforts to promote the favorable transition for more sustainable industrial system that is the Green industry and the Green economy. 

Production efficiency: 

Can be reached through optimization of productive uses of natural resources such as materials, water, and energy at all stages of the production cycles.

Environmental management: 

Can be realized through minimization of the adverse and unfavorable impacts of industrial production systems on nature and the environment.

Human development: 

Is achieved through minimization of risks to people and communities and support to their development.

Main conceptions of cleaner production:

1.    Substitution of raw and auxiliary materials, particularly renewable materials and energy.

2.    Increase useful life of auxiliary materials and process liquids, by avoiding drag in, drag out, contamination.

3.    Improve control and automatisation.

4.    Reuse of wastes, either internal or external.

5.    Low waste processes and technology.
