Project Description

The program works with individual companies, groups of companies, and lead organizations to increase uptake of cleaner production (CP) practices and technologies to improve their financial performance through savings in energy, water, raw materials, and waste disposal. Objectives include: 1) at least 10 of 15 companies implementing CP recommendations, resulting in at least 50 percent of potential energy, water, and materials savings, annual avoidance of 50,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, reduction of 70,000 megawatt hours of energy consumption, annual cost savings equivalent to $5 million, and accessing $5 million financing to implement recommendations; and 2) at least one group of companies and one lead organization establishing a systemic approach to extend or replicate CP practices and technologies within the group or client portfolio. Expected aggregate impacts after project completion include: 20 individual companies implementing CP practices and technologies, realizing annual avoidance of 100,000 metric tons of GHG emissions, reduction of 140,000 megawatt hours of energy consumption, and annual cost savings equivalent to $10 million.
