| CLEANER
PRODUCTION OPTIONS FOR PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY |
WORKSHOPS UNDER THE PROGRAMME :
Two
workshops were organized jointly by UNEP and CPCB on 'Cleaner Production in Pulp
& Paper Mills' in Delhi and Hyderabad as a part of the NIEM Phase III Programme
during April 25-26, 1997 and April 29-30, 1997. It is hopped that all the participating
mills will be benefited by sharing the experiences of the core participating mills,
under NIEM Phase III activities, and feel motivated for promoting cleaner production
in their own mills too. The major topics of discussions as summarized below were
very relevant:
-
Cleaner production with special reference to the conceptual approach;
- Financing
of cleaner projects and various Government policies existing to motivate the concept
of C.P. in pulp and paper mills;
- Cleaner
technologies available in terms of better processes which have an impact on waste
generation reduction and are considered as better technological options in place
of existing technologies; and
- Waste
minimization through the cleaner production. This session covered possibilities
of cleaner production in the pulp and paper mills with better operation and house
keeping in the existing process technology.
