Groundwork: 1991 - 1994
Cleaner Production pilot projects by different donors and implementing
agencies, including in India, China, Poland and Tunisia, confirmed
applicability of Cleaner Production and identified need for national
cleaner production capacities
Proof of Concept: 1995 - 1997
Ongoing demonstration activities by newly established NCPCs
provided additional evidence for applicability of Cleaner Production
facilitated by North South knowledge transfer and collaboration
Formalization: 1998 - 2002
Major expansion to new programme countries, standardization of
NCPC services, including first inputs to cleaner production policy and
technology transfer
Market Orientation: 2003 - 2007
Further geographical expansion accompanied by diversification of
NCPC services (including CSR, green credit schemes, EST-transfer,
EMS..) and greater market orientation
Rewiring: 2008 - 2011
Ongoing geographic expansion, formulation of programmatic approach to
support NCPCs, extension of cleaner production concept to resource
efficient and cleaner production and launch of the global network
Reach and Depth: 2012 - 2015
Steady expansion of the global network enabling intensification of south-
south cooperation and parallel dedicated efforts to innovate RECP into
(eco-)industrial parks, low carbon industry, safe chemical substitutes and
new business models
Decoupling at Large: future directions
RECP : a cross cutting enabler for SDGs
RECPnet: a global partner for implementation of SDGs
A globally recognized and valued network of RECP service providers, contributing to sustained, broad and evolving application of RECP in
industry
The Global Network for Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECPnet)
Introduction
• Global Network for RECP (RECPnet) – Brings together RECP service providers on a global and regional
level to catalyze the effective and widespread application of RECP in developing and transition economies
– Offers specialized, high-quality technical and advisory services to industries, creating synergies between members and improving capacities
RECPnet Charter
RECPnet is construed by its Charter and its by-laws on membership and code of conduct. The Charter defines the objectives and key functions of RECPnet
• Objectives – Enable the development, application, adaptation, scaling and mainstreaming of
RECP in developing and transition economies – Facilitate effective North-South and South-South collaboration and the transfer

Membership Types
Three categories of membership, with different eligibility criteria, entitlements, fee structure and obligations:
• Regular Members: Not-for-profit organizations or initiatives, based in a developing or transition economy, with a proven track record in RECP service provision in its home country and possibly other developing and/or transition economy (ies);
• Associate Members: Any organization with a proven track record in RECP service provision in developing and/or transition economy (ies) that is unable to become a Regular Member; and
• Observer Members: Not-for-profit organizations or initiatives based in a developing or transition economy with an emerging track record in RECP service provision in its home country and possibly other developing and/or transition economy (ies).
RECPnet has 74 members: • 39 Regular Members
• 29 Observer Members
• 6 Associate Members

Governance
RECPnet consists of an Executive Committee, Regional Chapters, a Members’ Assembly and is supported by a Secretariat.
• Members’ Assembly
– Highest decision-making body of RECPnet - determines organizational aspects and strategic direction
• Regional Chapters
– Represent each of the five regions to facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing
• Executive Committee
– Five regional executives to guide and administer the network under the authority of the Members’ Assembly
– Cleophas Migiro, Executive Director, CPC Tanzania is the Regional Executive for Africa
• Secretariat
– Supports the day-to-day activities of the network and facilitates the work of the Members’ Assembly and the Executive Committee.

RECPnet Operational Strategy 2015-2020
• Vision: “The RECPnet is a globally recognized and valued network of RECP service providers that contributes to sustained, broad and evolving application of RECP in industry and other organizations”
• Mission: “Enable members to provide effective and efficient RECP services across the globe; achieve measurable impacts; and advocate RECP benefits to its key stakeholders and society”
• Operational objectives :
1. Foster professional and institutional excellence of member organizations to provide effective and efficient RECP services with measurable impacts
2. Create business opportunities for the members
3. Strengthen and promote the RECPnet brand and advocate RECP to the wider stakeholder community
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
• Resource efficiency and cleaner production in industry highly relevant to 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• RECPnet is a valuable partner for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, due to:
– Global presence and proximity to industry, especially SMEs
– 20 years collective expertise at national and regional levels
– Implementation of proven solutions and delivering innovation

Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production
• Continuous application of preventive environmental strategies to processes, products and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment
• RECP addresses three sustainability dimensions individually and synergistically:
• Production efficiency – Through improved productive use of natural
resources by enterprises
• Environmental management – Through minimization of the impact on nature
by enterprises
• Human development – Through reduction of risks to people and
communities from enterprises and supporting their development

RECP Indicators
RECP Indicators
Resource Productivity • Productive output per unit
of resource consumption • Total materials use
• Total energy use
• Total water use
Pollution Intensity • Waste and emission
generation per unit of productive output
• Waste quantity
• Air emissions
• Waste water volume
53% of global population live in cities with 80% of global GDP being generated
3/4 of global energy use by Cities and 1/3 of global energy consumption by
Industries
86 Cities emit 2.08 billion tons of CO2 equivalents and Industries 940 million tons

Challenges and limitations of EIP development
• Industrial ecosystems are very difficult to intentionally plan, design and manage since they essentially develop on their own
• “Doing business” and “Good governance” are important issues in the start up and continuity of the EIP in developing countries
• The concept of EIP needs to be sold to industry and the city in order for them to fully engage and be active participants
• ‘Loop-closing’ (recycling of materials and energy) can be affected by fluctuations in the price of a given input
Thank you for your attention
