Basic Information
Slovak Cleaner Production Centre
is a professional non-profit non-governmental organisation.
Starting from the Slovak-Norwegian project in 1994, the Centre
was established within the framework of UNIDO-UNEP Cleaner
Production Programme in January 1995. Cleaner production
(CP) means proactive integral approach to the problems of
industrial pollution. As a tool for sustainable development, it
uses systematic methodology to avoid production of gas emissions,
liquid and solid wastes. This often means for company not only
solution of problems related to environment, but important
economic savings with minimum or low investment, as well.

metal, glass, sugar industries
-
The regional projects are running in Trencin, Ruzomberok
-
The identified immediate (in finished projects) total
economic savings are
29,3 millions Sk with important decrease of emissions, waste
water and solid wastes of all categories
-
163 CP experts were trained in long term in-plant
interactive training in the country,
mainly from industry, approximately 20% of them from government
and universities.
-
In co-operation with Faculty of Chemical Technology of
STU
the Information Centre of Cleaner Production was established to
promote CP, support CP project
and training activities in the country and to share and use
resources in the most effective way.
-
On the base of the previous CP project,
the EMS approved by international body according ISO 14001 and
BS7750 was introduced in Matador Puchov during only 6 months
time period. The factory was approved as the THIRD in the world
in June 1996.
Quotes from beneficiaries
"The main positive thing is that by the methodology obtained, we
were able to solve the problems to general satisfaction. This
confirms the practical importance of the CP realisation .". Anton
Ulehla, Ulehla Electrical Equipment, Humenne
"Since the problems identified are of broad range and in the
present financial situation we can solve only part of them, the
work of CP teams in the factory will continue". Jozef Bagin,
Project Manager in Slovak Power Stations, Bratislava
