About the product
A central factor in achieving sustainability in business and industry is the improvement of production processes through the introduction of technologies that use resources more efficiently and minimize environmental impacts. This publication explores the motivations of companies involved in nine cases of successful transfer of cleaner production technologies to enterprises in developing countries. The cases analyzed are the: artisanal gold mining, greenhouse gas substitutes, chrome recovery and reuse, solid waste treatment, wind energy, biomass cogeneration, substitutes for CFCs and VOCs, cleaner steel production and fish processing. Business and the UN also includes a description of the 'Internet Cafe', the partnership between UN agencies and the private sector in providing information on cleaner production opportunities to potential investors and governments.
