Component C TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES cleaner production ET (CPET) vs end-of-pipe ET
End-of-pipe ET vs clenaer production ET • End-of-pipe ET: correction of pollution: sewage treatment, air, noise and waste. • Cleanerproduction ET (CPET): pollution prevention at source, to minimize resource consumption (cleaner production, recycling / substitution of materials) • Major economic and environmental advantages of TPL • The EMS (EMAS, ISO 14001) encourage the use of TPL (+ info) • Obstacles to the TPL: • Legislation that promotes the use of TA end of line • Difficulty of implementation • Difficulty in assessing the environmental improvement • Lack of initiative from the company • Changing trend: • 20th century: end-of-pipe dominance • 21st century: CPET predominance (≈ eco-innovation)
