1 Sustainable Consumption and Production
Dr. Naeem-uz-Zaman

2 Presentation Sequence
Sustainability and Cleaner Production Cleaner Production Cost Saving Opportunities Cleaner Production Practices Cleaner Production Outcome General Specific

3 Cleaner Production Continuous application of an integrated preventive environmental strategy to processes, products and services to reduce risks to humans and environment. United Nation Environmental Program

4 Sustainability Optimum use of resources so that our future generations can enjoy the same or better quality of life as we do.

5 Environmental Benefits
Triple Bottom Line Environmental Benefits Reduction or Elimination of air, noise, water and land pollution Better and Safe management of hazardous materials Reduction in usage of Natural resources Improved Efficiency, design and productivity Optimal use of water and energy Social Benefits Enhanced commercial competitiveness and improved employee’s morale Improved awareness about business environment issues Improved communication between staff, management and customers Economic Benefits Reduction or elimination of risk through replacement of hazardous or toxic substances with environmental friendly products Reduction in the cost of waste management through avoiding waste ,reuse and recycling of waste Reduction in the unit cost of energy, water, and raw materials through better process efficiency

6 Cleaner Production Program
Decision of management to implement cleaner production program Planning and organization Initial assessments Development of options Feasibility analysis Implementation and monitoring

7 Cleaner Production: the Big Picture
Environmental audits Material Balance at each step Energy audit Water audit Waste audit Cost analysis: Step by Step Review of the Opportunities

8 Cleaner Production Program
Develop a representative chart of costs Qualitative analysis of opportunities and risks Select key investigations Develop strategies via: Gaining commitment from top management Consulting with in house experts Engineering design Long time workers Analyze costs and benefits including payback time

9 Cost Saving Opportunities
Raw Materials Try bulk purchase Refill containers Buy flexible packaging Buy concentrated solutions Shop around and prefer local suppliers Use recycled raw material where possible

10 Cost Saving Opportunities
Consumable Keep record Use both sides of paper Use recycled toner cartridges Decentralize purchasing

11 Cost Saving Opportunities
Energy Paint walls as white Use clean panels in ceilings Increase number and size of windows Keep a gap between start of heavy machinery Minimize heat losses Develop a culture of turning the light and machine off when not in use Check pressure lines on regular basis Replace high power light fixture with low power ones Use of LED Lights

12 Cost Saving Opportunities
Maintenance Cost Switch from break down maintenance to Preventive maintenance Predictive maintenance Keep all machinery well lubricated Keep maintenance record of each equipment Never use sole supplier for equipment and spares Keep in touch with modern developments and budget for replacement of equipment Switch to long life chemicals

13 Cost Saving Opportunities
Water Management Think through operations and minimize raw material consumption Segregate effluent streams with reuse focus Segregate solid waste streams with recycling focus Ask your supplier to take back waste chemicals Shop around for most economical waste collector

14 Cost Saving Opportunities
Water Consumption Conduct an internal water use and quality survey Indentify wastewater streams that can be diverted to reuse Explore storm water harvesting opportunities Use low flow rate water saving showers Apply high temperature, high pressure water to clean large vessels Fix leaky taps

15 Cost Saving Opportunities
Packaging Quarterly review most popular and unpopular packaging Design packing as to maximize reuse and recovery of products Convince suppliers to take their packaging back Shred and reuse waste packaging for shock absorbing materials

16 Cost Saving Opportunities
Improve house keeping Substitute materials Change process or technology Reformulate or redesign products Reuse and recycle materials on site

17 Cleaner Production Practices
Improve Housekeeping Reduce raw material and product loss due to leaks and spills etc. Improve monitoring of operations and maintenance Schedule production to reduce cleaning Train employees in cleaner production ownership Improve management inventory of raw materials and products Waste heat recovery

18 Cleaner Production Practices
Material Substitution Replace toxic solvent based coatings with less toxic water based coatings Eliminate hazardous materials Change process or technology Use mechanical cleaning devices Reduce high pressure in lines to reduce fugitive emissions of air toxins

19 Cleaner Production Practices
Reformulate or Redesign Products Analyze impact created by products over their life cycle LCA: Cradle to Death Formulate Lead free paint Reuse and Recycle Material on Site Utilize wastewater and energy Reuse product rejects Separate waste streams

20 Cleaner Production: General Outcomes
Improved Efficiency Improved Productivity Reduced Operating Costs Improved public image and marketing advantages Reduced environmental risks Regulatory compliance

21 Cleaner Production: Specific Outcomes
Raw Materials More environmental friendly inputs and products Reduced raw material consumption Dangerous goods / hazardous waste reduction Water saving Reduced fresh water use Reduced cost of wastewater management

22 Cleaner Production: Specific Outcomes
Electrical energy Reduced consumption Solid/ Liquid Use Reduced waste Enhanced on site reuse Improved segregation and recycle Improved communication and training Savings forever
