Cleaner Technology Projects in Denmark 1997 PrefaceThis Working Report contains summaries of all Project Reports (Miljøprojekter) and Working Reports (Arbejdsrapporter) on cleaner technology published by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1997. The projects were carried out under the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s Action Plan for Cleaner Technology 1993-97, the main objective of which is to ensure the implementation of results from previous Action Plans, to continue research and development activities, e.g. substitution of environmentally harmful substances and materials, and to shift focus from production processes to products. Conscious efforts to minimise environmental impacts are becoming competitive parameters for the industry. The implementation of cleaner technology has proven to entail savings in operation costs and lower costs of production, and these results are communicated through the project reports. Cross-references are given to projects that form part of major programmes, or where previous or subsequent projects deal with the same topic. Since the Working Reports are only published in limited edition, some reports may not be available. However, the reports can be found at the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s homepage www.mst.dk in PDF format. Moreover, the Working Reports can be borrowed from EPA’s library. The Environmental Projects are sold through EPA or Miljøbutikken, or they can be borrowed from public libraries. In each summary is given the name of the author(s) and the project institution(s) for further reference. It should be noted, though, that the authors might have changed position since then. This summary report is also available in Danish.
