Cleaner production concept

These points are common to the Draft Concept and to the cleaner production concept. 

These points are common to the Sustainable Development Concept and to the cleaner production concept. How could all that be funded It would be ridiculous to suggest that comprehensive actions towards a cleaner economy might be supported by the miserable national budget. There is even less reason to believe that any down-to-earth effort to upgrade some specific facility and implement advanced technologies and state-of-the-art equipment might be funded from it. Furthermore, we can hardly rely on the assistance from the West, and nobody here believes in assistance not backed by economic interest. 

Promoting Chemical Leasing based on the preventive Cleaner Production concept provides practical solutions for industry to become more efficient and at the same time reduce unnecessary hazardous chemicals consumption and protect human health and the environment. In this way, environmental and economic policy matters as well as international cooperation objectives can be addressed. In his article, T. Jakl excellently highlights Chemical Leasing and regulatory approaches in Chemical Policy.

The UNIDO project Demonstration of Cleaner Production Techniques 11 demonstrates that the concept of preventing wastes at their source as opposed to end-of-pipe treatment is as applicable and profitable in developing countries as in developed countries. The experience gained as well as the demonstrations produced will be of great value in the promotion and implementation of a Cleaner Production Program. 

The latter concept implies providing local life support systems for unfriendly environments. By now, Ukrainian scientists and engineers have developed a variety of processes for potable water treatment by adsorption, electrochemical oxidation, electrocoagulation, electro-coprecipitation, electrodialysis, electrofloatation, floatation, membrane techniques etc. Each family must get small units for water purification, air cleaning and removal of hazardous substances from the food as soon as possible, for it may take decades to introduce cleaner production on a national scale. Here, we should follow the example of Western business people who bring with them to Ukraine devices enabling a safe existence in this unfriendly environment. 

The concept of Chemical Leasing is based on the preventive idea of Cleaner Production and represents an important aspect of UNIDO s SIRM approach. It is a shift from the traditional business concept that focuses on a... 

Chemical Leasing builds on the concept of the Cleaner Production approach as it is a preventive, environmental, service-oriented business model that aims at improving overall efficiency, enhancing environmental performance and increasing the competitive advantage of industry. 

Inherent safety is similar in concept to pollution prevention or cleaner production. 

Although inherent safety and pollution prevention are similar in concept, there are practical differences between the two that have, so far, made the adoption of inherent safety measures less attractive to industry than pollution prevention/cleaner production.

Industrial ecology is a recent concept in engineering and management, and is an attempt to manage an industrial unit as an ecosystem, with feedback loops and the minimal use of resources and production of waste [7]. Life cycle assessment, which was designed to take into account the environmental impact of waste, can help achieve cleaner production technologies and sustainable waste management practices which are all important aspects of... 

Pyrrolidones fit well into the bio-refinery concept since they may be produced in a scheme beginning with the fermentation of a portion of the bio-refineiy s sugar product into succinate. Pyrrolidones are a class of industrially important chemicals with a variety of uses including polymer intermediates, cleaners, and green solvents which can replace hazardous chlorinated compounds. 

Recently, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis regained much attention mainly due to the (political) desire for cleaner fuels and the potential shortage of crude oil. Therefore, research activity is focusing on the development of improved reactor concepts as well as on novel and promising catalysts for an economic production of clean fuels via FTS.
