The Eco-efficiency (Cleaner Production) Programme is now Explained in a Documentary…

As one of the most important pillars of dissemination of the work done, a documentary film was shot depicting the pilot projects, whose true masterminds, the industrialists, explain their stories. In the documentary of the programme, which was actualized through the contributions of curator UNIDO, executer TTGV and Consultant METU, the cleaner production applications taken by six different firms who partook in the programme from five different provinces and different sectors is shown and commentary is given by the industrialists themselves.

The goals set for the firm-directed pilot projects were: to firstly serve as an example in their sector, then to provide knowledge and experience for dissemination activities, and to increase awarenes and capacity. In the firm-directed pilot projects, stress was placed on “water” in areas where global climate change will make the soonest impact…

While identifying the primary industrial sectors in the Seyhan River Basin Region (Kayseri, Niğde, Adana), which is a sub-project of the eco-efficiency programme itself, the following were considered: The main goal of the project (The development of the capacity to manage the risks of climate change), the set goal of the industrial sector (The development of the capacity of industry for climate change), the goals of the sub-project of the eco-efficiency programme (The adoptation of eco-efficiency approaches, the preparation and planning for a national eco-efficiency centre)…

When climate change and the policies and measures specified in this context are evaluated, it is seen that from the perpective of an industrialist, one of the most important topics is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which induce climate change. In addition to the fore-running producers of greenhouse gases, or the combustion driven energy intensive sectors, greenhouse gases are emitted from a variety of production processes…

Being the second largest river after the Nile in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Seyhan River Basin, in agricultural terms, is one of the most important regions in Turkey and in Europe. The river basin, in regards to biologic diversity, is also one of the richest regions in the world: dry farming, irriagated farming, animal husbandry and a variety of impending agricultural opportunities for locals are all present…
