Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention for Manufacturing

Rather than treating waste and emissions after they occur, cleaner production tackles pollution at source by improving processes, materials and housekeeping. This programme equips African manufacturers to find and capture these opportunities, cutting resource use and cost at the same time. Delegates learn structured assessment methods that reveal savings hidden in everyday operations.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the cleaner production hierarchy and how it differs from end of pipe control.
  • Conduct a material and energy balance across a production process.
  • Identify cleaner production options in materials, processes and housekeeping.
  • Evaluate options by environmental benefit, cost and feasibility.
  • Build the business case linking resource efficiency to cost savings.
  • Plan implementation and track improvement over time.
