Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention for Manufacturing

Rather than treating waste and emissions after they occur, cleaner production tackles pollution at source by improving processes, materials and housekeeping. This programme equips African manufacturers to find and capture these opportunities, cutting resource use and cost at the same time. Delegates learn structured assessment methods that reveal savings hidden in everyday operations.
