The UNEP IE/PAC Cleaner Production Programme was launched in response 

to a decision from the UNEP Governing Council, on the need to reduce global 

industrial pollution and waste.



The objectives of the programme are to: Increase worldwide awareness of the 

cleaner production concept;  Help governments and industry develop cleaner 

production programmes;  Foster the adoption of cleaner production; and 

Facilitate the transfer of cleaner production technologies.



To meet these objectives, the programme focuses on the collection and 

dissemination of information on cleaner production that:  Explains the 

concept;  Illustrates technical applications; Helps people develop cleaner 

production programmes. These efforts, initiated through a number of different activities, 

have 

cultivated an ever expanding informal network of cleaner production experts, 

both in the public and private sectors.



The programme contains four major elements:  Publications; Training and 

Technical Assistance;  ICPIC>International Cleaner Production Information 

Clearinghouse; and Working Groups.
