Cleaner Production

Cleaner production is defined as any action that reduces or eliminates the creation of pollutants or waste at the source, which may occur due to inefficiencies in the manufacturing processes, operational practices, improperly designed or utilized equipment. Pollution prevention can provide a number of significant benefits to industry. Cleaner Production is the continuous application of an integrated preventive environmental strategy to processes, products, and services to increase overall efficiency, and reduce risks to humans and the environment; it describes a preventative approach to environmental management. Cleaner Production focuses on minimizing resource use and avoiding the creation of pollutants, rather than trying to manage pollutants after they have been created.
