One solution is cleaner production.
Companies using a cleaner production approach can boost their environmental performance.
The EPG encourages industry to adopt cleaner production processes and technologies. The Cleaner Production Case Studies Directory has been developed by the EPG to give companies easy access to case study information on a wide variety of cleaner production techniques. This information will assist small to medium sized businesses to examine and improve their own methods of production. Companies that implement cleaner production can reduce production costs, save resources and reduce waste, thereby maintaining a competitive edge. The database will also provide a useful source of information for industry associations, local councils and research centres.
