Wetry to reduce CO2 emission and make transition to greenenergy sources and transportation.MANU1381 34Australia in January 2020

Adopting business strategies and activitiesthat meet the needs of the enterprise and allof its stakeholders today,• While protecting, sustaining and enhancingthe human and natural resources that willbe needed in the future.Theodore Roosevelt,Message to Congress, 3rd Dec. 1907“To Waste and Destroy our NaturalResources, instead of increasing theirusefulness, will undermine the veryprosperity which we are obliged tohand down to our children, amplifiedand developed.”Albert Einstein“If man is to survive, we shall requirea substantially new manner ofthinking”… Cleaner Production methods & associatedapproaches provide just such a ‘new manner ofthinking’.POLLUTION CONTROLAPPROACHESPollutants are controlled by filters and waste treatmentmethodsPollution control is evaluated when processes and productshave been developed and when problems arisePollution controls and environmental improvements areconsidered to be always cost factors for the companyEnvironmental challenges are to be addressed byenvironmental expertsEnvironmental improvements are to be accomplished withtechniques and technologyEnvironmental improvement measures should fulfilstandards set by authoritiesQuality is defined as meeting the customers requirements.CLEANER PRODUCTIONAPPROACHESPollutants are prevented at their sources through integratedmeasuresPollution prevention is an integrated part of product andprocess developmentPollutants and wastes are considered as potential resourcesand may be transformed into useful products/by-productsEnvironmental improvement challenges should be theresponsibility of people throughout the companyEnvironmental improvements include non-technical andtechnical approachesEnvironmental improvement measures should be a process ofworking continuously to achieve higher standardsTotal Quality means the production of products that meet orexceed customer expectations and which have minimalimpacts upon human health and the environment.Cleaner Production• A conceptual and procedural approach toproduction and manufacturing that• Demands all phases of the life cycle of aproduct, or process• To be addressed with the objective ofprevention, or minimisation of short and longterm risks to human life and the environment.ScopeThe ‘scope’ of Cleaner Production approaches,methodologies and techniques is limited onlyby the ‘vision’ of its proponents.Ecologically Sustainable DevelopmentPrecautionary Principle:Where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of fullscientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures toprevent environmental degradation.Application of the precautionary principle should involve both careful evaluation toavoid serious damage to the environment and effective risk assessment of thevarious options.Intergenerational Equity:The present generation should ensure that the health, diversity and productivity of theenvironment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations.Conservation of Biological Diversity & Ecological Integrity:Conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity should be a fundamentalconsideration.Phases of Environmental Protection• Dilution (thinning, reduction…) is the solutionto pollution• Pollution control is the solution to pollution• Pollution prevention is the solution to pollution• Not producing is one of the solutions topollution60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s 2000’sTime…DumpControlRecyclePreventionCleaner Production• Offers industry the opportunity to enhanceoperating efficiency while improving itsenvironmental

IntegrityFromShort-term ExploitationtoStewardship (Look After)for SustainabilityFrom No Sky25To Clear Sky26Cleaner Production is moving•away from a focus on ‘compliance’,with its associated ‘regulation and control’ mindset,•to a more ‘performance’ oriented approach toachieving success,that includes a commitment to achievingEcologically Sustainable Industrial Development.Cleaner Production Policy Instrumentsare characterised by a number of inherentprinciples:The need to establish working partnerships betweengovernment, industry and affected communitiesThe need to address the capability to take actions toimprove the quality of lifeThe need to undertake continuing research into improvingindustry practices and processesThe need to provide incentives eg. to small and mediumbusinesses, to improve environmental impact performanceThe need to recognise continuing improvements inindustrial waste management and the introduction ofWaste Minimisation Assessment:Key initial steps• Assessment of the organisations’ involvementand commitment to promoting waste reduction• Introduction of ‘environmentally friendly’practices and procedures• Organisation and implementation of a corporateenvironmental policy with associated goals,objectives and strategies for achievement.Waste Minimisation Assessment Procedures• Selection of an Assessment Team• Determining the Scope of the Assessment• Collection of Preliminary data• Identification and characterisation of input materials,products & waste streams• Comprehensive Plant Analysis:• Evaluation of data:Typical Resource Audit Approach• Identify all source requirements:including: materials, energy, labour, skills,information, technology• Identify and document all processes• Identify and document discrete stages• Produce complete system flow chart• Identify Energy demands• Identify Products streams• Identify Waste-streams.Five Core Quality Management Principles• The Policy Principle• The Planning
