Access to Technology and Know-how on Cleaner Production in Central Europe

A CENTRAL EUROPE project (2008 - 2011)

www.act-clean.eu

Ausgangspunkt für das Projekte

Hauptakteure im Mittelpunkt von Umweltinnovationen sind Unternehmen

Sie sollen bei einem nicht eigendynamischen Markt innovative Techniken entwickeln und umsetzen !!

Treiber: Staat: Muss Politik entwickeln um Innovationen in diesen Markt zu bringen

• Wie kann der Staat es managen, dass sich in diesem Sektor Produktlinien (supply chains) entwickeln?

• Wie macht es die EU, wie machen wir es und wie machen es die Partnerländer des Projekts?

• Mit welchen Konzepten, Regelungen und Instrumenten sind die besten Erfolge erzielt worden? In unserem Fall dokumentiert mit Beispielen aus den Partnerländern? UBA | Horst Pohle | Welcome and Introduction to Act Clean

• Welche Bedürfnisse haben die Unternehmen?

• Wie werden diese von den beteiligten Akteuren aufgegriffen?

• Was läuft gut (Treiber/Anreize)? Was läuft schlecht? Wie kann man diese beheben? Barrieren/Hemmnisse)

• Wie kann man grenzüberschreitend (in Regionen) (Transnational) eine Stärkung der Entwicklung (Innovation) und Anwendung von Umweltschutz in den Betrieben erreichen?

• Welche Vorschläge lassen sich für die Projektregionen ableiten?


The Act Clean network supporting tools:

• Country reports on SME needs, barriers, incentives

• Direct support from an Act Clean National Contact Point, which can directly connect you with over 200 outstanding institutions in the field of Cleaner Production throughout Central Europe.

• Matchmaking events focusing on your specific needs and giving you access to best solutions from Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Slovakia.

Connecting Demand and Supply

Driving forces and Barriers

Not only one solution! Different Options and Innovation Paths


Resource Efficiency:Cleaner Production vs. End-of-Pipe

- increases the Resource Efficiency in the production- reduces the input of resources, the need for end-of-pipe-technology and the mass of waste

process optimisation + use of innovative and future-oriented technologies

Albert Einstein

Case History: „Surface Cleaning“: Innovation paths/driving force/barriers Problem: Emission of Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (CHC)/CHC-Waste

1990 CHC-Ordinance- Driver (Regulation): 95% emission reduction/technical regulation/reduce CHC-concentration befor opening the cleaning machine/a sensor did not open befor (Driving force to develop new sensors): - Driver (Public Support) UBA support a Zero-Emission-Machine (Condensation/Charcoal-Filter) to demonstrate the technique.- But the realization is expensive (Driver for Innovation)

3 Solutions available: (regulate targets not techniques)

Solution 1: CHC-TechnologySolution2: Water TechnologySolution3: Hydrocarbon Technology

• Solution1: CHC-Technology•

- Driver: Deadline 1994 Barrier: bad execution: 50% •

- Recycling rate only 50% (Barrier: Angry about the recycling quality; Driver: Public support concerning information and practical examples))

•- Driver: Combining and reduction of machines (Example: 40% was not necety): personal reduction; combining different cleaning steps (rationalization)



Solution 2: Water Technology

- Driver: possible a future CHC-ban (sustainability)

- Driver: new CHC facility very expensive: looking for new solutions

- Driver: Increasing product quality/anti corrosion chemicals

- Barrier: CHC-Cleaning is everywhere possible. Now work for specific solutions/tests/construction of new machines/complex material flows/technical problems with drying (energy/time)

- Barrier: Water treatment (limit values)/to pay for polluted water

- Barrier: approval procedere/Länder /Driver: Federal approval procedere

• Solution 3: HC-Technology•

- Barrier: expensive/Explosion Protection/ new vacuum drying techniques

Not only one solution!!!!!!•

Why we need to clean the tools? Production Chain Innovation

- Reduction of cooling lubricants or no more cooling lubricants/dry technologies

- New Cleaning Technologies (Sonic-Systems, Plasma …)

Result: Highly Ressource Effecient


Painting-Facilities (car-painting)

• Problem: Lacqer-Waste (overspray)• Problem: Emission of VOC• Main Driver: 20 mg/m³ VOC emission limit value• Innovation 1: Catalytic Afterburner• Driver : very expensiv catalytic afterburner/big air volumes• Innovation 2: Water based lacqer• Driver : water and waste problems, product quality after

recycling• Innovation 3: Powder lacqer• Near Zero Emission Techniques - Driver: 100% Ressource
