ESPS Cleaner Production (CP)/Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) database has been developed to serve as an inspiration to Nepalese industries and OSH professionals in their efforts to identify and generate CP/OHS options. The database consists of case studies and success stories experienced in Nepal and it has links to international Cleaner Production and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) databases. Under the Nepalese CP Database the case studies and success stories are grouped under different heading based on their sector origin. The following headings contain Nepalese CP/OHS experiences: Under links to International CP Databases different databases with a lot of useful CP information are available. Under links to International OHS Databases different databases with a lot of useful OHS information are available. |

GEC Environmental Technology Database (NETT21) is a database of the technology information which Japanese private corporations provided us with for the purpose of supporting the resolution of the environmental pollution problems, at present developing countries face. On sites in developing countries, the concrete technology information applied to the site has been still required because Cleaner Production has been not pervaded sufficiently. In Cleaner Production Technology covering a wide range, particularly there is plenty of accumulation of the concrete technologies in the producing process in Japan. |

The Journal of Cleaner Production serves as an interdisciplinary, international forum for the exchange of information and research results on the technologies, concepts and policies designed to help ensure progress towards sustainable societies. It aims to encourage industrial innovation, new and improved products, and the implementation of new, cleaner processes, products and services. It is also designed to stimulate the development and implementation of prevention oriented governmental policies and education programmes. Cleaner production is a concept that goes beyond simple pollution control. It involves active research and development into new processes, materials and products which are more resource and energy efficient. Prevention is increasingly becoming the primary corporate and government approach for ensuring environmentally friendly and economically sound production and service provision strategies. Technical assistance and training programs are increasingly being established to accelerate the adoption of cleaner production by governments and universities. |
