The document discusses the concept of cleaner production. It defines cleaner production as a preventative, company-specific environmental protection initiative intended to minimize waste and emissions and maximize product output through analyzing material and energy flows to identify options for reducing waste at the source. The document outlines the basic principles of cleaner production as being precautionary, preventative, integrated across the production cycle, comprehensive through stakeholder involvement, and continuous through ongoing efforts.

CLEAN PRODUCTION
Cleaner Production. What does it mean?
A preventive, company-specific environmental protection initiative. It is intended to minimize waste and emissions and maximize product output. By analyzing the flow of materials and energy in a company, one tries to identify options to minimize waste and emissions out of industrial processes through source reduction strategies. Improvements of organization and technology help to reduce or suggest better choices in use of materials and energy, and to avoid waste, waste water generation, and gaseous emissions, and also waste heat and noise. "Cleaner Production is the continuous application of an integrated preventative environmental strategy applied to processes, products, and services to increase overall efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment.“
UNEP 2016 • Production processes: conserving raw materials and energy, eliminating toxic raw materials, and reducing the quantity and toxicity of all emissions and wastes.
• Products: reducing negative impacts along the life cycle of a
product from raw materials extraction to ultimate disposal.
• Services: incorporating environmental concerns into
designing and delivering services. What are pollutants? • material which passed into the process and has consumed: – Inputs (water, energy, etc); – Raw material; – Equipments use; – Workforce; – Management costs increased by waste; Basic Principles of Cleaner Production Four basic guiding principles are implied in the conception of cleaner production. • The precaution and preventative principle. Precaution is not simply a matter of avoiding breaking the law, it is also about ensuring that workers are protected from irreversible ill-health and that the plant is protected from irreversible damage. The preventative nature of cleaner production calls for the new approach to reconsider product design, consumer demand, patterns of material consumption and indeed the entire material basis of economic activity. • The integration principle Integration involves adopting a holistic view of the production cycle by reducing the need for emission into the environmental of such substances, these measures thereby provide for an integrated protection of all environmental media.
• The comprehensive or democratic principle
Involves people, workers and local residents, in the way where production and consumption are organized.
• The continuity principle
Cleaner production is a no-end process. Its implementation calls for the ever-lasting efforts of governments, industries and consumers.
