Cleaner production for cleaner future.

The term Cleaner Production was coined by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) when it launched the Cleaner Production Program in 1989. Cleaner Production is 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. (UNEP, 1989).

• For production processes - the strategy includes conserving raw materials and energy, eliminating toxic raw materials, and reducing the quantity and toxicity of all emissions and wastes.
• For products - the strategy focuses on reducing negative impacts along the life cycle of a product, from raw materials extraction to its ultimate disposal.
• For services - the strategy involves incorporating environmental concerns into designing and delivering services.
  
  Cleaner production requires changing attitudes, responsible environmental management and evaluating technology options.
  
  Benefits of cleaner production:
   
• Economic benefits include increased profits; improved marketability; lower expenditure on materials and resources; additional sources of income; increased quality and greater productivity; better customer service; and increased goodwill from being seen as a responsible member of the community.

Environmental benefits include less pollution; reduced production of waste; more efficient use of resources; less waste going to landfill; and less effluent to sewage or discharges to water bodies.
