Clean Process

For PRODUCTION PROCESSES Cleaner Production includes conserving raw materials and energy; eliminating toxic raw materials; and reducing the quantity and toxicity of all emissions and wastes before they leave a process.

—UNEP Cleaner Production Program

Clean Production can be implemented in the manufacturing of products and the growing of food. Sometimes called ‘clean technology,’ or in the case of food production 'organic agriculture,' it is a way of protecting workers and communities, and avoiding the generation of hazardous releases to the environment.

For manufacturing processes, clean processes use:

• Pollution Prevention
• Toxic Use Reduction Plans
• Cleaner Production Experts

For food processes, clean processes use:

• Organic Agriculture Methods
