———–
The project:
VNCPC is implementing the project “Cleaner Production for Better Products (CP4BP)” within the framework of the EU Asia-Invest Programme. The 20-month CP4BP project aims at increasing the capacity of selected industries in Vietnam, Cambodia and Lao PDR to develop innovative products adapted to the environmental and social requirements of the European market, through the application of sustainable product design techniques.
CP techniques have proved their effectiveness in promoting best practices to reduce costs for industry as well as waste and pollution at source. Their application in the region, however, has mainly focused on low cost good housekeeping or process modifications. The product focus will help increase companies? competitiveness and sustain the countries? growth thanks to its higher economic (better market access, products with higher added value) and environmental potential (throughout product life cycle, from raw material selection to production in Asia, product use and disposal in Asia or Europe). As a collaborative effort between the Vietnam Cleaner Production Centre, the Asian Institute of Technology Centre in Vietnam, the Phnom Penh Small and Medium Industry Association, the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the United Nations Environment Programme and the Technical University of Delft, the project will support the creation of an enabling environment for the development of a market for sustainable product development services.
In Vietnam, the project will combine a train-the-trainer workshop to develop the national capacity in sustainable product development with real-scale application of sustainable product (re-)design in 3 pilot companies, demonstrating the relevance of product-related CP methodologies. The results will then be developed into case studies and disseminated to industrial companies of the relevant sectors through training workshops and to a broader range of stakeholders, including industry associations and authorities, through dissemination workshops, with the aim to initiate a demand for sustainable product development services.
