  3. Cleaner production and finance requirements Cleaner production options that are best financed internally by organizations - housekeeping, direct reuse/recovery/recycle, process rationalization and optimization, material substitution, upkeep of equipment maintenance etc. Cleaner Production options requiring moderate investment category where a mix of internal and external finance is sought - indirect reuse/recovery/recycle (requiring pre- treatment), process/equipment modification

  4. Cleaner production and finance requirements Cleaner Production options requiring moderate to high investments principally from external finance - equipment/process change, installation of automated systems, product redesign etc To maximize benefits and comply with financial institutional requirements use the ‘right mix’ of all three option categories

  5. Mechanisms for financing cleaner production • Seeking loans - Normal commercial lending: Suitable for low risk and moderate benefit interventions. IRR should be higher than the prime lending rate • Seeking loans - Accessing soft or concessional loans: Appropriate for medium risk, moderate to high benefit interventions. Relevant for projects with objectives in line with that of the special fund

  6. Mechanisms for financing cleaner production • Seeking equity in the form of venture capital: Appropriate for medium to high risk but high benefit interventions. High investment oriented demonstration projects fall in this category. • Seeking equity in the form of a joint venture: Typically entails participation of a technology provider in the form of equity. Perhaps relevant where high capital and moderate risks are involved and there are restrictions on the transfer of technology.
