Cleaner Production

The goal of cleaner production is to reduce the adverse impact of production and service activities on the environment. It can be achieved through:

• avoiding or reducing the amount of waste produced;
• using energy and resources efficiently;
• producing environmentally sound products and services;
• achieving less waste, lower costs and higher profits.
