 Cleaner production is an integrated preventive
environmental strategy applied during production
process and service cycle.

 Cleaner production applies to PRODUCTION
PROCESS by conserving:

• raw material and energy;

• eliminating toxic materials;
• reducing the quantity, toxicity, hazard of emissions and wastes
at the point of their generation.
Application of „Cleaner production“ assessment
follows three logical steps:

• Source inventory: Where are wastes and emissions

generated?
• Evaluation of causes: Why are wastes and emissions
generated?
• Generation of options: How is possible to eliminate these
causes?
 Cleaner production assessment consists in the
following stages:

START Stage 1 – Preparation

ANALYSIS Stage 2 – Analysis of process stages

Stage 3 – Generation of CP opportunities

IMPROVEMENT Stage 4 – Selection of CP opportunities

Stage 5 – Implementing CP solutions

INTEGRATION Stage 6 – Supporting CP solutions

 1. Preparation
In CP analysis, decision makers are involved in setting up the CP
focus. In order to perform CP assessment, the support and
participation of top management is crucial.
The CP assessment team must be implemented in production
departments, and the application of technology must be systematic.

 2. Analysis of process stages

Technological flow scheme. The phases of production process are

described, by specifying inputs and outputs.

• For cleaning VOC I suggest thermal oxidation air cleaning
method. Also can be used biological air cleaning (biofilter
with zeolite charge), but this method have more defects,
than thermal oxidation air cleaning. Thermal oxidation air
cleaning effective – 98 procent and more.
• In the first technological process are generated large amounts of
used thinner.
• Thinner is used for lacquer dilution and for cleaning.
• Used thinner can be recovered with solvent recovery system.
• This system can save more money, because thinner purchases
are decreasing.

• Also in the first technological process are generated large

amounts of tinplate wastes.
• This tinplate wastes can be recycled.
 Second technological process:
PRINTING ON TINPLATE

RAW MATERIALS POLLUTION / WASTES

UV paint 20 t/year VOC / O3 5 t/year / 0,03 t/year
Tinplate 15 t/year Tinplate wastes 200 t/year
Thinner 1 t/year Used thinner 0,7 t/year
Electricity energy 800 MWh/year Heat -
• Main pollutants in the second technological process is VOC and O3.
• Amounts of these pollutants is not large, because used UV paints is
without harmful raw materials.

• Also in the second technological process are generated not

large amounts of used thinner.
• This thinner wastes can be recovered.
• Also in the second technological process are generated large
amounts of tinplate wastes.
• This tinplate wastes can be recycled.
 Third Technological process:
STAMPING TWIST-OFF TYPE CLOSURES

RAW MATERIALS POLLUTION / WASTES

Plastisol 350 t/year HCl 0,003 t/year
Tinplate 30 t/year Tinplate wastes 200 t/year
Electricity energy 1500 MWh/year Heat -
• Main pollutant in the third technological process is HCl
(Hydrogen chloride).
• At room temperature, it is a colorless gas, which forms
white fumes of hydrochloric acid upon contact with
atmospheric humidity.

• Also in the third technological process are generated

large amounts of tinplate wastes.
• This tinplate wastes can be recycled.
 3. Generation of CP opportunities
Once the causes and sources of pollution are known, a brainstorming within
the team is performed:
• Ideas are developed in and out of the team, the participation of all employers
in the stage of generation of opportunities for CP is welcomed;
• Options can be generated based on the data base, manuals, reports etc.;
• All the preventive practices are verified, for example: good housekeeping,
changing raw materials, changing technologies, modifying the equipment,
improving process control, modifying products, local reconditioning and
reusing, generation of useful by-products.
Stage 3
 Generated options will be selected based on the
following criteria:

• implementing of evidently feasible options;

• unfeasible options will be excluded;
• options to be analyzed based on opportunity / feasibility.
 4. Selection of CP opportunities

Following the selection of opportunities, a list of technical checking

is made, in which the following criteria are important:
• Availability and insurance of equipment;
• Requirements for utilities, monitoring and control of process and
space;
• Maintenance requirements;
• Technical necessary capacities (operators, technicians, etc.).
Stage 4
 5. Implementing CP solutions

Preparing for CP implementing measures consists in:

• Selection of the best offer received in the previous stage;
• Preparing plans for construction (if necessary);
• Assuring a rigorous plan for reducing stoppage time.
Stage 5
 6. Supporting CP solutions

Supporting CP solutions involves:

1. Establishing an organizational structure for CP;
2. Involving employers for instruction and benefits;
3. CP politics and strategies on long term;
4. Integrating CP in technical development.
