Sustainable Industrial Resource Management
(SIRM)
UNIDO’s Interventions

2. A I M S
UNIDO’s NEW FOCUS: SIRM
Reduction in the amount of material and energy used, by increasing the efficiency throughout the entire production process and eliminating and substituting hazardous and toxic substances;
Implementation of circular material and energy flows in the entire production chain.

3. M E A N S
UNIDO’s NEW FOCUS: SIRM
Separation of the material flows in two: technical flow (including non biodegradable materials) and nutrients flow (with organic and biodegradable materials) to facilitate internal recycling and reuse;
Changes in the relation between manufacturer and user, where manufacturers shift from selling products to supplying services;
Substitution of non-renewable energy sources by renewable ones.

4. I N T E R V O
UNIDO’s NEW FOCUS:
Operating at the entire supply chain level including all stakeholders and expanding from the company focus to addressing relevant issues for providers, suppliers and final products receivers;
Including economic, financial, political and social aspects;
Global Forum Activities and Technical Cooperation work of UNIDO.

CHEMICAL LEASING
UNIDO Cooperation with the Austrian Ministry of Environment and the NCPCs in Egypt, Mexico and St.Petersburg to promote the application of Chemical Leasing business models.
Chemical Leasing is a shift from product to service focus, e.g. reprocessing of solvents
Promotes a close cooperation between producer and user of chemicals
