About the Project
Clean production involves the minimal use of resources, the design of sustainable products, the production of food in a sustainable way, and the generation of waste that is benign and returnable into the production process. It requires thinking of the production of goods and serves as part of a life cycle that includes that extraction and processing of raw materials, product design, consumption, and disposal (in which the product eventually becomes raw material). Strategies and techniques that support clean production include technical innovations in materials (biodegradability, for example), products (such as designing for reuse and disassembly), and facility design (zero discharge facilities) as well as broader policy schemes (such as shifting taxes and extending producer responsibility for products).
