Green Growth and Economy


Green Economy

Green Growth

An approach for achieving sustainable developmentby (1) reducing emissions and pollution andincreasing resource efficiency and (2) improvingaccess to energy, food, water, sanitation and otherservices (UN-EMG)

Fostering economic growth and development while ensuringthat natural assets continue to provide the resources andenvironmental services on which our well-being relies(OECD)

Green Growth and Economy require investment and

innovation, which are driven by business

Green Industry for Green Growth


Green Economy

Green Growth

Sustainable Consumptionand Production

Green Industry is the sector-

strategy for realization of

Green Growth & Green Economy

in manufacturing and related

sectorsEco-Innovation

Any form of innovation resulting in or

aiming at significant and demonstrable

progress towards the goad of sustainable

development, through reducing impacts

on the environment, enhancing resilience

to environmental pressures, or achievingmore efficient and responsible use of

natural resources

GI Flagship

Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production Continuous application of preventive environmental strategies to

processes, products and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks tohumans and the environment

RECP addresses three sustainability dimensions individually and synergistically: Production efficiency

Through improved productive use of natural resources by enterprises

Environmental management

Through minimization of the impact on nature by enterprises

Human development

Through reduction of risks to people and communities from enterprises andsupporting their development

Symbiosis

Urban

Symbiosis

Use of byproducts from cities in industrial operationsExploitation of synergistic opportunities arising from the geographic proximity

of urban waste sources and potential industrial users through the transfer of

physical resources (wastes) for environmental and economic benefit

Replication Initiatives Goal directed planning of eco-industrial parks

USA: 1997 - 2007

Presidential Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD) setout to support 15 EIPs

UK: 2002- ongoingNational Industrial Symbiosis Programme initially supported

networking pilots in three regions and was in 2005 extendedto national programme

Rep of Korea: 2005 ongoingSuccessful pilots in brownfield industrial park set foundation

for National Industrial Symbiosis Programme



14/24

USA Planned Eco-Industrial Park Model

Directed effort to identify companies from

different industries with intend to locate themtogether so that they can share resources across

and among themselves

15 EIPs initiated in 1996, after 10 years only two were

realized, each with limited resource exchanges

Overemphasis on matching of flows narrows possible

company recruitments creates rigidity whilst market

demands flexibility

15/24

United Kingdom Eco-Industrial Networking

Bringing on a regional basis companies together

from different industry sectors to identify wastereduction (3R) solutions

West Midlands Region (2002-2009)

330 companies participating, approximately half of them

involved in 189 resource exchanges, > 1.1 million tonwaste diverted from landfill

Focused on companies and active support for

identification and realization of 3R opportunities

Republic of Korea Retrofit Industrial Park Model

Improve environmental performance and increase

business competitiveness by resource circulation

in aging industrial complexUlsan Pilot Project (2005-2010)

50M USD invested in first 9 resource exchanges,

generating annual savings exceeding 34M USD, reduced

GHG emissions by 140,000 ton CO2eqBeing replicated at national level since 2009

Lessons Learned EIPs simultaneously require innovations in:

Business relations (between companies)

Resource flows (betweenfacilities)

Driven by business case with spill-over benefits: Adoption of new (environmental) technologies

New products, services and businesses

Provision of environmental services, including to cities

Identification and realization of such innovations involves Networking , serendipitous and goal-directed

Assessment of processes and resources

This benefits from facilitation

And results in embedded-ness, culturally and institutionally
