CLEANER PRODUCTION OPTIONS FOR PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY


ACTIVITIES FOR FUTURE :


Sincere efforts should be made in future to make cleaner production the production culture not only in the pulp and paper mills but in other industries as well. In India, the other industrial sectors, such as sugar, textile and tannery, are also facing considerable problems related to pollution. It is necessary that the UNEP should take up these industrial sectors on priority for implementation of cleaner production concepts in India and other NIEM participating countries. However, some of the cleaner production measures require huge funds for implementation and, therefore, for implementing such CP options, assistance in the form of grant of soft loan through agencies like the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank among others will further serve the cause of cleaner production in industries and environmental protection.
