Training Programme on
Resource Efficiency & Cleaner Production – 2023
According to UNIDO Methodology
Background
Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) is a proactive, systematic, and integrated approach used at the corporate level to enhance resource usage, lessen environmental pollution, and support sustainable industrial growth. RECP can be used to improve any industrial process, products, and services offered to society. It highlights the options that can be adopted efficiently avoiding end-of-pipe treatments for material, chemical and water.
RECP practices help industries to achieve profits while reducing the impact to the environment. RECP tool helps to identify gaps in the processes and generate options for the mindful use of resources and minimize waste. In addition, it encourages innovations that can convert waste into profits. Since this tool is well-used for a long period of time, industries have understood the value of practicing the tool to achieve profits while highlighting their commitment to sustainability. A trained RECP technologist can identify more options that can boost sustainability inside the company.
Role of NCPC, Sri Lanka in RECP activities in last decades
Our centre is originally established to promote cleaner production concept, almost two decades ago in 2002 by UNIDO under the Ministry of Industries. It is established as another cleaner production centre of the cluster of centres all around the globe. For almost 20 years, NCPC Sri Lanka was in the operation to promote and apply RECP into the industries and has obtained much more experience. All the RECP applications were turned into success stories due to the commitment of the expert staff of NCPC, Sri Lanka, their knowledge, effective use of the tool, and capability in implementation.
During the whole period of 20 years, NCPC Sri Lanka was competent for the successful completion of over 400 RECP assessments. When considering the resource-saving data since 2017, NCPC Sri Lanka was the proud contributor and consultation partner in saving more than 68680 GJ of energy, 87903 m3 of water and 4027 tCO2eq carbon emission reduction. Moreover NCPC, Sri Lanka has extended its consultation on RECP for Pakistan and Bangladesh organizations and has gained much more reputation and experience.
Considering all the evidences, it is important for all individuals who are interested in RECP to gain knowledge and practical experiences from the one and only matured sector expertise none other than NCPC, Sri Lanka.
