China National Cleaner Production Centre (CNCPC)

[ Description | Case Studies | Updates | Contact | Links ]

Description
China National Cleaner Production Centre (CNCPC) was created by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) within the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences (CRAES) located in Beijing with assistance from the UNEP/UNIDO National Cleaner Production Centre program. CNCPC created its Sub-centre for Education and Training within Qinhua University located in Beijing. CNCPC’s role is a technical supporting institution on cleaner production for SEPA and is guiding local environmental protection bureaus (EPBs) to develop their cleaner production programs. CNCPC offers cleaner production training courses domestically and internationally.

National Cleaner Production Network

A national cleaner production network with more than 60 members was established in Dec 1996. The members include cleaner production centres, local EPB’s cleaner production promotion offices and companies with cleaner production activities. The Secretariat for coordinating the Network is placed in CNCPC.

Cleaner Production Newsletters

The Secretariat of the Cleaner Production Network publishes its own cleaner production newsletter in Chinese periodically and organizes annual meeting for its participants to exchange cleaner production information and successes and lessons learned.

In addition, the Newsletter of the UNEP Industry and Environment Cleaner Production Programme is translated into Chinese and distributed in China.

Cleaner Production Manual and Guidelines

The following cleaner production manuals have been published in Chinese:

Cleaner Production Audit Manual for Enterprises

• Guide for Cleaner production in Pulp and Paper Industry

• Guide for Cleaner production in Brewery Industry

• Guide for Cleaner production in Organic Chemical Raw Materials Industry

• Guide for Cleaner production in Electroplating Industry

• Guide for Cleaner production in Silk Dyeing and Printing Industry

Training

It is estimated that about 250 cleaner production auditors have been intensively trained. Dozens of cleaner production training workshops or promotion meeting have been organized.

Case Studies

In the first 2 years of the CNCPC's operation, 27 CP demonstrations were carried out. The following 10 case studies were selected  by the CNCPC for publication in April 1995. Some of these refer to case studies stored in the ICPIC Database of Technical Case Studies, so they are linked rather than reproduced on this site.
