This sector specific project showed that the concept of cleaner production is applicable in China. The participating companies could demonstrate that they generated profits while reducing their environmental impacts. The project was designed to alert businesses to the potential for reducing costs and boosting productivity by integrating environmentally sustainable practices and processes into the everyday running of their businesses.

The success of this sector specific program encourages us to widespread our approach within China and also other countries. The project replication guide shall contribute to this intention as throughout this tool every committed institution or individual is able to initiate a Cleaner Production project. The guideline focuses on a general project approach and therefore the cleaner Production project becomes easy applicable in any industrial sector.

The replication guideline is a vital part of the project, as it contributes to the sustainability of the project. It outlines, in easy-to-understand terms, the minimum requirements for a CP project implementation. The guideline is published within our network and will be assessable to every interested party. We hope that we can contribute to a sustainable global development by presenting this guideline and to help enterprises to improve their environmental performance.

Coming from the conviction that consumers, suppliers, governments and the market at large are increasingly demanding environmental responsibility by the business community and the knowledge, that businesses ignoring this trend and rejecting the opportunity to improve their environmental performance and that they may find themselves left behind in the highly competitive global marketplace, we are happy to present this easy self learning tool.
