1 RECP a Tool for Greening MSMEs-Ghana s Case Letitia Nyaaba/GNCPC

2 GNCPC GNCPC was established as a company limited by guarantee in 2012 by the Environmental Protection Agency

3 Policy SDAP supported by UNEP for 14 sectors proposing 33 projects of which RECP was topmost Implementation the industrial sector projects called for the establishment of the GNCPC by the GoG to carry out greening of industry.

4 Areas RECP Implementation Industries RECP (Pre-SME toolkit) support from UNEP RP CSM at Ports (UNEP) E-waste: SRI (SECO) GEMOD (SAG/EU) Promotion of biogas (SAG/EU) Industrial Symbiosis (SAG/EU) GE-Biomass to energy/clean stoves/pelleting machines (UNEP/GIZ) Sustainable Buildings (EDGE)

5 RESOURCE EFFICIENCY Resource Efficiency means: The careful selection of raw materials and energy resources Minimization of waste, emissions, hazards and risks Responsible management of material and energy flows during the production process Attention to the use, recycling and disposal phases of the product life cycle

6 What are we saying about RECP?

7 Product life-cycle thinking (2) The life cycle of a product and closing the loop

8 Targets Production efficiency through improved productive use of natural resources by enterprises Environmental conservation through minimization of the impact on nature by enterprises Low carbon Human development through reduction of risks to people and communities from enterprises and supporting their development

9 The industrial (micro) imperative Resource scarcity Growing resource scarcity (energy, water, etc.) and increasing cost of resources; Market Consumers and market preference to products produced in environmentally sound/efficient processes; Regulation Increasing awareness and regulation resulting in growing environmental management cost/liability.

10 Techniques for Implementing CP Improved housekeeping practices Process Optimization Raw material substitution New technology New product design

11 PRE-SME toolkit

12 The PDCA cycle as basis Plan Do Check plan and organise, preassessment detailed assessment, generate options, evaluate feasibility, implement pilot measures check results Act create basis for continuous improvement

13 Thematic module What: What are the problems? Why: Why are SMEs affected? How: How can SMEs be more Resource Efficient? Quick Win Map for first overview

14 Virtual assessment Sector specific hotspots: Assessment questions Benchmarks RE option list

15 Example: Virtual Assessment for Utility section with energy focus

16 Data sources Accounting stock measurements process data waste concept verbal information receipts materials energy office process A process B process... energy maintencance products waste, emissions

17 Higher output per unit input Reduced cost of production per unit product Improved competiveness in the market Reduced volume of waste resulting in lower treatment and disposal cost Effective worker motivation due to improved work environment Improved image for company and products

18 Case Studies Pioneer Food Cannery Fish processing company

19 RECP Options Implementation PFC implemented 31% implemented not implemented not implemented 69%

20 IMPROVEMENT OPTION SUGGESTED SOLUTION CAPITAL INVESTMENT USD COST SAVINGS USD Extraction of oil from tuna head Cut the heads of the fish prior to cooking Establish an in-plant facility to extract the fish oil 85, ,000 per annum Fish meal processing Reduction in electricity consumption Install fish meal processing plant Process fish waste into fish meal Reduce fish waste sold to third parties for processing Install energy saving bulbs and motion sensors at the offices 2.4M 1.7M for the first year 20,000 9,000 per year Reduction in water consumption Recycle cooling water Install meters at the various section Install high pressure nozzles on hoses 650,000 10, ,000 per year Not quantified Housekeeping Increase the number of screens Total 3,165, ,929,000.00

21 Savings Investment: USD 3, 165, Cost savings in 1 year: USD 1,929, Pay back time: 20 months

22 RECP at GGBL-Kaasi 13 options identified 4 options implemented 31% implemented not implemented 69%

23 Options Implemented Options implemented were water saving options: The return of packaging condensate as boiler make-up (top-up) water, the extension of washer recuperated water at packaging for floor washing at the brew house, fixing float valves on water reservoirs during filling return of excess hot water from brew house to reservoir hl to hl.

24 Water use hl/hl Savings Water use in Kaasi HL/HL 4.00 TARGET JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Month

25 Within 4 months water use reduced from 8.71 hl/hl to 6.71hl/hl Saving of USD34,
