BRIEF REPORT OF GCPC - ENVIS NODE (Cleaner Production & Technology) (Year 2002 03) GUJARAT CLEANER PRODUCTION CENTRE GIDC, BLOCK NO: 4, 3 RD FLOOR, UDHYOG BHAVAN, SECTOR-11,GANDHINAGAR-382011 PH: 079 232 43211, FAX: 079 232 44306 E MAIL: info@gcpcgujarat.org. Website: www.gcpcgujarat.org
ABOUT GCPC Gujarat, for ages together has been known to an entrepreneur s dreamland. A state that brings together all the amenities to make some of the most crucial industrial dreams an absolute reality! In doing, so Gujarat in the country has become a torchbearer of development. From Textiles to Petrochemicals, From Fertilizers to Pharmaceuticals, from Chemicals to Engineering, the state has created success stories one after the other. Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) as organization for industrial development has so for established 300 industrial estates, out of which 12 estates have been developed to accommodate chemical industries. At their estates for treatment of waste, CETPs have been constructed, also secured landfill sites have been executed and being used for solid waste disposal. But, at this juncture that one needs the total realization that harnessing an industry also brings in the responsibility of protecting the environment. CP is based on PROACTIVE and PREVENTIVE approach: it makes much sense since it believes in avoiding creation of a problem rather than in trying to solve it. Realizing then potential of CP in the state of Gujarat, Gujarat Cleaner Production Center(GCPC) was established in August 1998 with the technical support of NCPC and UNIDO and with the financial support of GIDC, The nation has four Cleaner Production Centers of which GCPC is one. We GUJARAT really appreciate CLEANER MoEF, PRODUCTION GOI, for establishing CENTRE ENVIS plays an through important which role environmental in education, permeating and providing knowledge as well as expertise to tackle with various environmental issues information is disseminated to all concern and it is helpful to Decision and Policy Makers, Scientist & that the various sectors of the industry shall need to address in the current scenario or in the near future. Engineers, GCPC believes Research in workers prevention etc. rather in all over that the cure. country. Hence, the germination of the concept of CLEANER PRODUCTION or CP. Since GCPC long through GCPC is its promoting various CP/CT Orientation concept Programmes, in the industries Training of the Programmes state, through Demonstration its various Projects etc has been successfully able to spread the message of Cleaner Environment in various sectors activities. of the industry. We are thankful In the era, to Dr. where Indrani competition Chandrashekharan, is maximum, Director if a spirit EI, MoEF, for adopting GOI for CP giving techniques GCPC is an achieved opportunity, then to work probably as Node half the of ENVIS, battle will under be which won. We the can message then perhaps, of CP-CT with can pride be disseminated give our coming a generation a better world to live. broader way. Apart from its Main Objectives GCPC is also working on some National as well as International Projects i.e EMCBTA project of Moef, GOI and Clean Technology Promotion in India Project of State secretariat For the better for Economic performance Affairs of GCPC-ENVIS (SECO). The State Node, being We one are of grateful the most to progressive the Varioud one, Industrial as far as industrial development is concerned, various sectors have been coming forward to adopt the CP Associations and their members, and also to GIDC officers and staff members, for sparing their valuable techniques. time and continuous support. We are thankful to all ENVIS Node for sharing their information through News-Letters, Website and other sources.

One such study has been completed in the Ankleshwar Industrial Estate, in which information regarding product manufacturer, unit processes and unit operations involved the present practice is included. Following type of industries have been covered i.e. Dyes & Dyes intermediate (22), Chemical (15), Pharmaceutical (7), Inorganic (5), Petrochemical (1). The aim of the study is to identify the Gaps between current practices used in the industries and latest technologies available at national and international level. With the identification of these gaps the road map for implementing Clean Technologies in this industries can be decided.
4) Database Creation and Collection on CP-CT :- GCPC is a nodal agency to work for CP practices in the state. We have started multidimensional activities for further spreading the concept of CP. The center has completed around 20 CP Assessment Project in different sectors like Chemical and Petrochemicals, Dyes & Dye Intermediates, Pharmaceuticals, Textile, Fish Processing etc. Most of these industries have implement major CP tools suggested. Success Stories of the same has been documented and will be disseminated through Web-Site, News- Letter and other sources for the multiplayer effect. The center has also published literature like Leaflets, Booklets etc in regional language. One of the main objectives of GCPC, includes to create the data bank on CP-CT. We have developed a good library comprising Books, Journals, Training Manuals, Reports, Directories of Industrial Estates related to CP-CT and Environment Management. 5) To have Linkages of Information Users and Providers among Governments, Academic, Business and NGOs in the Country and Abroad :- Today there are 22 Cleaner Production Centres located in almost in all continents from Latin America to Africa, East Europe and Asia. There is major role of UNIDO and UNEP in establishing these centers. India also has 4 regional CP centre. GCPC do have linkages with many National as well as International Organization i.e. Internationa Linkages :- UNIDO UNEP IRC SECO USAEP FHBB Baler & Hoffman Consultant Inc. Weyer and Partner Process Safety and Environment Engineering.
