Public-private partnerships: efficiency

In a similar vein, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established WaterSense, a voluntary public-private partnership program to promote water-efficient products and services and EnergyStar, a program that promotes energy efficiency. 

Biorefineries addressed the development and application of industrial biotechnologies for the conversion of renewable raw materials into sustainable and cost-efficient bulk bioproducts (e.g., chemicals such as lactic acid, biopolymers), and/or bioenergy. As we have seen, setting up biorefinery demonstration projects via public-private partnerships (PPP) had been one of the measures undertaken in the LMI for biobased products. 

Going forward, partnerships between the public and private sectors should strengthen the existing infrastructure and make governments and industrial operations more efficient.
