Projects

The Government of PR China and the Global Environmental Facility [GEF] have approved the project “Pops and Chemical Pollution Solutions through Area Based Eco effective Management”. UNIDO is the international Implementing Agency while the Foreign Economic Cooperation Office [FECO] at the Ministry for Environmental Protection is the National Executing Agency for this project. This project is concerned with eco-effective principles and building blocks in the area of industry and specifically the application of an eco-effective strategy to remove chemicals known to be harmful from a product or production life cycle. The project, being carried out by the Southern University of Science and Technology (Beijing), will demonstrate eco-effective value chain management through the development and application of eco-effective knowledge to design out persistent organic pollutants [POPs] and toxic chemicals in the products, by-products and production systems in a specified industrial value chain. R3’s role develops the eco-efficiency assessment approach and execution for the project.
