CLEANER PRODUCTION OVERVIEW

“Traditional environmental thinking focuses on what to do with wastes and

emissions after they have been created. Cleaner production avoids or

minimizes waste and pollution even before it is generated! Therefore it is

called “pollution reduction at source”.

The key difference between pollution control and cleaner production is one of

timing. Cleaner Production can be seen as recognition of the need to consider

the complexity of sustainable production. While the earlier focus on pollution

control was an after-the-event, „react and treat‟ approach, cleaner production

is a proactive, „anticipate and prevent philosophy‟. Prevention is, as is well

known, always better than cure.

Cleaner production does not only go together with environmental

performance. When minimizing waste and pollution through cleaner

production, a reduction in consumption of raw materials, water and energy is

also achieved. Cleaner production thus also goes together with productivity

increase. Cleaner production strives to get as close to 100% resource efficiency

as possible – within the barriers of what is economically profitable. It is

important to stress that cleaner production is not simply a question of

changing equipment, cleaner production is a matter of changing attitudes,

applying know-how, and improving production processes as well as the

product.

DEFINITION OF CLEANER PRODUCTION

Cleaner production is defined as “continuous application of an integrated

preventive environmental strategy to processes, products and services to

increase the overall efficiency and to reduce risks to humans and

environment” In production processes, cleaner production includes the saving

of raw materials and energy, the elimination of toxic raw materials and the


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

reduction in the quantities and toxicity of wastes and emissions. In product

development and design, cleaner production aims at the reduction of negative

impacts throughout the life cycle of the product from raw material extraction

to ultimate disposal. In services, cleaner production advocates the

incorporation of environmental considerations into the design and delivery of

services as mentioned before cleaner production is the continuous application

of a preventive strategy and methodology.

Cleaner production is:

A problem-solving strategy that uses a collection of analytic tools to

improve the efficiency of production processes and improve

profitability.

A business-focused, profit-driven approach that can be transparently

integrated into a business planning process.

Relevant to all sizes of enterprise, from home-based to multi-national.

Other concepts similar to cleaner production are:

• Waste minimization.

• Pollution prevention.

• Green productivity.


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

BASIC CONCEPT OF CLEANER PRODUCTION

These are fundamentally the same as cleaner production; with the basic idea

to make companies more efficient and less polluting. The goal of cleaner

production is to avoid pollution by using resources and raw materials to the

utmost possible. This means that a higher percentage of the raw materials are

turned into valuable products instead of being wasted. Many cleaner

production improvements require little or no initial investment or have rapid

payback.

CLEANER PRODUCTION VERSUS ‘END OF PIPE’

Up to now, conventional environmental technologies have mostly worked on

the treatment of existing waste and emissions (examples: air filter technology,

waste water treatment, treatment of sludge, waste incineration etc). As this

approach takes up things at the end of the production process, it is also

referred to as end-of-pipe technology. It is essentially characterized by

additional expenses for the company and a shifting of problems (examples:

production of sewage sludge through waste water treatment, production of

gypsum from flue gas, etc.) End-of-pipe treatment focuses on reducing the

pollution load, but you do not recover the lost raw materials. Therefore, end-

of-pipe treatment is always expenditure, whereas cleaner production brings


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

economic benefit in addition to the reduced pollution load. Cleaner

production is the same as waste minimization and pollution prevention.

Cleaner production is also a useful step towards Environmental management,

e.g. ISO 14001. Cleaner production aims to systematically integrate

environmental objectives into the production process to reduce waste and

emissions in terms of quantity and toxicity and thus to reduce costs.

Compared to the disposal by external services or to end-of-pipe technologies,

it presents several advantages:

Cleaner production in the sense of reducing the quantity of materials,

water and energy used essentially presents a potential for economic

solutions.

Due to an intensive exploration of the production process, the

minimization of waste and emissions generally induces an innovation

process within the company.

Responsibility can be assumed for the production process as a whole;

risks in the field of environmental liabilities and of waste disposal can

be minimized.

Waste and emission minimization is a step towards a more sustained

economic development.

While conventional waste management asks „what can we do with existing

waste and emissions?‟

Cleaner production asks:

• Where do our waste and emissions come from?

• Why have they turned into waste at all?

• How can we minimize waste and emissions?

Therefore, the essential difference lies in the fact that cleaner production does

not simply treat the symptom but that it tries to get down to the source of the

problem.

A further characteristic of cleaner production is the idea of regarding the

company as an entity. This means that cleaner production recognizes that raw


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

materials, energy, products, solid waste as well as emissions into the water

and the air are closely intertwined with the production process -

notwithstanding the fact that the areas of water, air and soil are legally

independent.

BENEFITS OF CLEANER PRODUCTION

• Improved production efficiency.

• More efficient use of raw materials, water and energy.

• Recovery of valuable by-products.

• Less pollution.

• Lower costs for waste disposal and wastewater treatment.

• Improved image.

• Improved occupational heath and safety.


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

• Reduced environmental liability.

Cleaning up afterwards and treating the waste is not enough. Cleaner

production helps to protect the environment by reducing pollution and waste

at source. This minimizes the environmental impact, improves efficiency and

reduces costs. Cleaner production is relevant to all industries, whether they

are small or big, or whether they have a low or high consumption of raw

materials, energy, and water. The most convincing benefit of cleaner

production is its ability to reduce the consumption of resource and

materials. Savings in water, energy and materials bring direct reductions

increasing cost of raw materials, energy and water, no company can afford to

lose these resources in the form of waste.

What is Cleaner/Clean Technology?

Cleaner / Clean technology is a manufacturing process which is by nature or

intrinsically:

Reduces effluent and other waste production;

Maximizes Product quality;

Maximizes raw materials and energy and any other input use.

Thus one technology may be thought of a subset of cleaner production

activities with a focus on the actual manufacturing process itself and

considers the integration of better production systems to minimize

production efficiency from many or all inputs.

Clean technology may be an impossible or difficult goal as it can be

considered as the ultimate of the search for an inherently clean technology

with no unwanted by products, total use of inputs and full efficiency. On

the other hand it may be used as a comparative term, and just be better

than another technology.

ABOUT GUJARAT CLEANER PRODUCTION CENTRE

Realizing the potential of C.P., for the

industries located in Gujarat State,

Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre

(GCPC) was established in August 1998

with the technical support of NCPC

and UNIDO and with the financial

support of GIDC. There are about 43 CP

centers established in all over the world

with the support of UNIDO/UNEP. From

August, 2008 Gujarat Cleaner Production

Centre is Registered as a Separate Entity

under Society and Trust Act. GCPC is one of the 4 regional Cleaner Production

Centre of India.

Though GCPC is a Regional Cleaner Production Centre, UNIDO has recognized

the Centre at par with National Cleaner Production Centre by putting this on

their website.


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

Gujarat, known as one of the industrialized state of the country, has so far

actively worked towards environment preservation. As the India‟s major

industrialization sectors viz. Chemicals and petrochemicals have grown more

widely in the state, other sectors like textiles, pharmaceutical fertilizers and

engineering etc are also playing a great role in developing the state economy.

Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), an organization for

industrial development has so far established 175 industrial estates, out of

which 13 estates have been developed to accommodate chemical industries.

Due to rapid industrialization, pollution problems are being critical. Hence

End-of-Pipe (EoP) concept was implemented. As a part of EoP solutions,

effluent collection systems, common effluent treatment plants, secured

landfill sites have been created and commissioned in various industrial estates

of the state.

These End of Pipe (EoP) approach demands high operational and maintenance

cost. Expenditure of about Rs.1000 crores has been made in this EoP

Treatment. The concept of End-of-Pipe treatment considered the industrial

process as a "black box" and looked at waste alone after it is generated. The

experiences from industrialized countries have shown that the EoP control is

not a solution to the problem but only a short-term strategy for environmental

management. This notion often leads to poor implementation of

environmental regulations due to lack of conviction amongst the

implementing authorities.

Cleaner Production (CP) offers an alternative to the conventional EOP

strategies practiced by the industries. CP aims to prevent waste and emission

to be generated in the first place. This reduces the need to install and operate

often expensive end-of-pipe control facilities like wastewater treatment plants,

gaseous emission treatment and disposal of solid & hazardous wastes and


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

saves input resources (water, raw materials, chemicals & energy) from being

lost in the form of waste and emissions.

GCPC plays an important role in education, permeating and providing

knowledge as well as expertise to tackle with various environmental issues

that the various sectors of the industry shall need to address in the current

scenario or in the near future. GCPC believes in prevention rather that cure.

GCPC is actively engaged in the promotion of Cleaner Production (CP)/Clean

Technology (CT) through its various activities like Orientation Programmes, CP

Assessment Projects, and C.T. Assessment Projects etc. It has taken up

demonstration projects in many industries of various sectors i.e. Dyes & Dye

Intermediates, Pharmaceuticals, Textile, Fish Processing, Petrochemicals,

electroplating, pulp & paper industry, and also service sectors like hotels and

hospitals etc. Results of these projects are very encouraging and industries are

getting Economical as well as Environmental Benefits.

In an era, where competition is very high, if attitude for adopting CP

techniques is achieved, then probably half the battle will be won. We can then

perhaps, with pride give our coming generation a better world to live.

GCPC is one of the service provider for the Dyes and Dye Intermediate and

textile sector of Gujarat for “Clean Technology (CT) Promotion in India”

Project of UNIDO and State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO),

Switzerland. CT is an extension of CP & the main focus of CT projects would

be to identify environmentally sound technologies suitable to SMEs of India.

GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT INITIATIVES

1. Industrial Policy 2003

Under the Gujarat Industrial Policy – 2003, Industries and Mines Department

had declared a Scheme for Assistance to Environment Protection Measures

vide GR No. – APN/102003/1161(9)-I, dated 10th June, 2004 such as Waste

Minimization Techniques, Waste Exchange Networking Centres,

Demonstration Projects, Environmental Management System, Environment

Related Studies, Water Audit, Energy Conservation. MS, GCPC is the Member of

the State Level Appraisal Committee for this scheme. Industrial Policy 2003 is

attached as Annexure- I.

2. Establishment of Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre

With the implementation of Cleaner Production practices in the various

sectors of industries, there is a significant environment improvement and

increase in the productivity. In this regard in the State, Gujarat Cleaner

Production Centre (GCPC) has been established in the year 1998 with the


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

technical support from UNIDO & National Cleaner Production Centre (NCPC),

New Delhi and financial support from GIDC. For sometime past a need was

felt to have an active separate organization called Gujarat Cleaner Production

Centre (GCPC). GCPC is now a separate society under Society Act-1860 & Trust

Act-1950 since August, 2008. Refer Annexure-II.

3. Cleaner Production Promotion and Propagation in Gujarat –Financial

Assistance for CP projects

It is a matter of fact that the rapid growth of the industries in the last two

decades has resulted into the improved industrial production leading to the

economic prosperity and improved standard of living in the State.

Simultaneously, the rapid industrialization coupled with urbanization has also

resulted into numerous environmental issues. Considering this, the Forests

and Environment Department in a proactive approach took various initiatives

to tackle the industrial pollution through Promotion and Propagation of

Cleaner Production, a tool to achieve Sustainable Development. The benefits of

Cleaner Production (CP) are not only in terms of economic advantages to the

industries, but CP has also helped in reducing the wastes and improving the

environmental performance of various industries. Cleaner Production has

been successful in replacing the end-of-the-pipe treatment besides improving

the productivity in many cases. The Forests and Environment Department,

therefore, decided to promote and undertake various activities including the

CP clinic cum awareness programme for different industrial and service

sectors, intensive training programme, CP database creation, practical

demonstration projects, CP dissemination workshops, etc. was under

consideration to decide a policy for promotion and propagation of the CP

through the State‟s budget.

4. Gujarat Cleaner Production Award

Under the World Bank assisted Environmental Management Capacity Building -

Technical Assistance project, the State Government in the Forests and

Environment Department took initiatives in a proactive way to tackle the

industrial pollution issues through promotion and propagation of Cleaner

Production (CP). The Forests and Environment Department built the capacity

of the industrial entrepreneurs, environmental consultants, academic

institutions and the NGOs in the State in addition to implementation of

various practical CP demonstration projects in selected industrial sectors. The

results of the CP approaches adopted by the industrial sectors are quite

encouraging. The Government is keen to sustain the CP initiatives and achieve

the multiplier effect of CP in the State. The State Government therefore

decided to institute "Gujarat Cleaner Production Award" since 2004 to

appreciate an industry, which implements the CP practically and achieves

significant / exemplary environmental benefits and improvement and

increasing the productivity at the same time.

A certificate of appreciation and a trophy is awarded every year to one

industry in small or medium scale sector and one in large scale sector from

the State. The committee considers the applications received from the

industrial entrepreneurs of Gujarat, who have successfully implemented the

CP in their unit / industry and would decide the winner for the award. The

committee also prepares detailed guidelines including application format,

eligibility criteria, selection procedure, etc. For downloading this Government

Resolution for both large and small & medium scale sector visit website:

2) DATA BASE

Database Creation and Collection on CP-CT: -

GCPC is a nodal agency to work for CP practices in the state. We have started

multidimensional activities for further spreading the concept of CP.

The Centre has completed around 25 CP Assessment Projects in different

sectors like Chemical & Petrochemicals, Dyes & Dye Intermediates,

Pharmaceuticals, Fish Processing, and Textiles etc. GCPC has also completed 8

CP Demonstration Projects in 4 Sectors i.e. Pulp & Paper, Electroplating, Hotels

and Hospitals. Most of these industries have implemented major CP tools

suggested in the report. Success Stories of the same have been documented

and will be disseminated through Web Site, News-Letter, Guidelines and other

sources for the multiplier effect.

The Centre has also published literature like Leaflets, Booklets etc in regional

language. One of the main objectives of GCPC includes creating the data bank


GCPC-ENVIS Centre

on CP-CT. We have developed a good library comprising of Books, Journals,

Training Manuals, Reports related to CP-CT and Environment. Since the

CP/CT concept is new one, the data available is not enough hence generation

of data is also important GCPC has identified Key Resource Persons (KRPs),

who are experts in Cleaner Production. They have been requested to share

their success stories, case studies, and databases with us.

Identification of Data Gaps and Action Taken: -

The Centre has decided to study major unit process/unit operations, CP-CT

practices used in SSIs of Chemical Sector in the state. One such study has been

completed in the Ankleshwar Industrial Estate (one of the big estates). At

Present the Project of Cleaner Production is being implemented in Dairy Sector

at Anand, Ahmedabad, Mehsana, Himatnagar and Gandhinagar in which

information regarding major unit processes and unit operations involved in

the present practice is being collected. The Centre has covered following type

of industries:

Fish Processing
