UNIDO eco industrial park approach Company Resource Efficiency & Cleaner Production Low Carbon Technology Green Chemistry Renewable Energy Industrial Park Sustainable Cities Collective resource efficiency solutions Resources Infrastructure Supply Services Urban Symbiosis shared Waste Management Recycle Corporate Social Responsibility

UNIDO eco industrial park projects “… need for retrofitting selected industrial parks and developing eco-industrial parks” China: 1 Park Morocco: 1 Park Colombia: 1 Park Viet Nam: 4 Parks India: 5 Parks South Africa: 2 Parks Peru: 2 Park

UNIDO eco industrial park approach “… retrofitting on a company level” Resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP) assessment: Good Housekeeping Input Material Change Better Process Control Equipment Modification Technology Change Onsite Reuse & Recycling Production of by-products Product Modification/Innovation Benefits of RECP Reduce raw materials consumption Reduce energy consumption Reduce CO2 emissions Reduce waste and disposal costs Increased profitability New revenues from residuals

UNIDO eco industrial park approach “… retrofitting on a park level” Industrial Synergies: Exchange: service, material, energy, residual, by-product and knowledge on resource efficiency Park Management: Introducing regulations (park charter, CSR charter) Service and infrastructure provision system: Supply of goods, renewable energy, and water Common wastewater treatment Waste collection, treatment, recycling (waste to energy)

UNIDO eco industrial park approach “… retrofitting beyond park level” Social infrastructure for employees and communities: Household waste to energy infrastructure Connection to wastewater treatment facilities Educational and training centers Medical services Sufficient accommodation for employees Child care facilities … to improve working and living conditions!

EIP: Beyond definitions and towards standards “… need for process standards for all industrial parks and performance standards for eco-industrial parks” Joint cooperation Towards a Common Framework Economic Environment Social

“… retrofitting towards a global framework” EIP: Beyond definitions and towards standards “… retrofitting towards a global framework” Minimum Requirement Self Assessment Tool Scoring System Joint Publication Standard?
