“… 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

6. 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)

7. 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!
