Cleaner Production & Eco-Industrial Development Cleaner Production is an essential approach tackling the economic and ecological challenges that enterprises are facing. Changes, such as world competitiveness through WTO and increasing costs for environmental protection, force management of an enterprise to adopt new, modern approaches.

INTEGRATION consults enterprises to increase the economic efficiency of their production and to decrease environmental pollution. Starting an in-depth investigation into raw and input materials, existing technology, execution of the process, associated waste streams and emissions and the product itself, our suggestions for improvement usually aim at good housekeeping, including maintenance and improved operation and production management as well as training or incentives for personnel, (slight) technological changes, material substitution, chances for on-site reuse and recycling of waste or product modification.

Our approach consists of modular designed steps to guide a company through a successful change towards increased economic efficiency and pollution abatement. In a successful cooperation, our clients gain several advantages such as:

• Implementation of ISO 14001 ff, Environmental Due Diligence Auditing a.o.;
• Savings in production costs through the implementation of Cleaner Production Technologies (e.g. reduced consumption of raw materials, resources, energy etc.);
• Optimisation of the production process by our special technical advisory service;
• Improvement of product quality is an essential focus of Cleaner Production;
• Enhancement of the environment and improvement of working conditions due to effective pollution abatement;
• Training and education in Cleaner Production, Good Housekeeping, Eco-cost management;
• Financial assistance (Elaboration of CP revolving funds) and legal information.
