4 Groundwork: Cleaner Production pilot projects by different donors and implementing agencies, including in India, China, Poland and Tunisia, confirmed applicability of Cleaner Production and identified need for national cleaner production capacities

5 Proof of Concept: Ongoing demonstration activities by newly established NCPCs provided additional evidence for applicability of Cleaner Production facilitated by North South knowledge transfer and collaboration

6 Formalization: Major expansion to new programme countries, standardization of NCPC services, including first inputs to cleaner production policy and technology transfer

7 Market Orientation: Further geographical expansion accompanied by diversification of NCPC services (including CSR, green credit schemes, EST-transfer, EMS..) and greater market orientation

8 Rewiring: Ongoing geographic expansion, formulation of programmatic approach to support NCPCs, extension of cleaner production concept to resource efficient and cleaner production and launch of the global network

9 Reach and Depth: Steady expansion of the global network enabling intensification of southsouth cooperation and parallel dedicated efforts to innovate RECP into (eco-)industrial parks, low carbon industry, safe chemical substitutes and new business models

10 Decoupling at Large: future directions RECP : a cross cutting enabler for SDGs RECPnet: a global partner for implementation of SDGs

11 The Global Network for Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECPnet) A globally recognized and valued network of RECP service providers, contributing to sustained, broad and evolving application of RECP in industry

12 Introduction Global Network for RECP (RECPnet) Brings together RECP service providers on a global and regional level to catalyze the effective and widespread application of RECP in developing and transition economies Offers specialized, high-quality technical and advisory services to industries, creating synergies between members and improving capacities

13 RECPnet Charter RECPnet is construed by its Charter and its by-laws on membership and code of conduct. The Charter defines the objectives and key functions of RECPnet Objectives Enable the development, application, adaptation, scaling and mainstreaming of RECP in developing and transition economies Facilitate effective North-South and South-South collaboration and the transfer of knowledge, experiences and technologies Key Functions Innovation and knowledge management and dissemination Capacity building Advocacy Quality assurance and branding

14 Membership Types Three categories of membership, with different eligibility criteria, entitlements, fee structure and obligations: Regular Members: Not-for-profit organizations or initiatives, based in a developing or transition economy, with a proven track record in RECP service provision in its home country and possibly other developing and/or transition economy (ies); Associate Members: Any organization with a proven track record in RECP service provision in developing and/or transition economy (ies) that is unable to become a Regular Member; and Observer Members: Not-for-profit organizations or initiatives based in a developing or transition economy with an emerging track record in RECP service provision in its home country and possibly other developing and/or transition economy (ies).

24 RECP Practices Good Housekeeping Input Material Change Better Process Control Equipment Modification Resource Efficient & Cleaner Production Technology Change Onsite Reuse & Recycling Production of Useful Byproduct Product Modification

25 RECP Indicators Indicators provide for a means to monitor results and support continuous improvement.

26 RECP Indicators Resource Productivity Productive output per unit of resource consumption Total materials use Total energy use Total water use Pollution Intensity Waste and emission generation per unit of productive output Waste quantity Air emissions Waste water volume

27 Global challenge: Cities and Industry driving Consumption 53% of global population live in cities with 80% of global GDP being generated 3/4 of global energy use by Cities and 1/3 of global energy consumption by Industries 86 Cities emit 2.08 billion tons of CO2 equivalents and Industries 940 million tons Decouple economic growth from an unsustainable use of natural resources and negative environmental impacts

28 Eco-industrial parks: Global assessment El Salvador 2 Morocco 2 Tunisia 2 Egypt 2 China 6 Costa Rica 1 Colombia 2 Viet Nam 2 Peru 3 India 6 Cambodia 2 Need for clearly defined minimum requirements Lack of common understanding of eco Need for innovation in business relations South Africa 3

29 Eco-industrial parks: 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 Social Environment

32 Authorities Industries Eco-industrial parks: Benefits for Beneficiaries Environment Cities cities and industries Reduced use of raw materials, water and energy Minimized GHG emissions, reduced release of POPs and (toxic) chemicals use Reduced waste through resource circularity Shared recycling facilities Improved competitiveness and profitability Creation of good-quality jobs Improved workers health and safety Increased quality of life for communities Better access to new technologies and finances

33 Eco-industrial parks: some ongoing projects Challenges include the informal sector, the social dimension of retrofitting and the scale of industrial parks. Colombia: 1 Park Costa Rica: Pipeline Egypt: Pipeline China: 1 Park Viet Nam: 4 Parks South Africa: 2 Parks India: 2 Parks

34 Challenges and limitations of EIP development Industrial ecosystems are very difficult to intentionally plan, design and manage since they essentially develop on their own Doing business and Good governance are important issues in the start up and continuity of the EIP in developing countries The concept of EIP needs to be sold to industry and the city in order for them to fully engage and be active participants Loop-closing (recycling of materials and energy) can be affected by fluctuations in the price of a given input
