Cleaner Technology Projects in Denmark 1997
Renere teknologiprojekter 1995
Arbejdsrapport nr. 8, 1997, Miljøstyrelsen
This report includes summaries of all environmental projects and work reports
concerning cleaner technology, published in 1995, a total of 41 reports.
The reports have been carried out due to the action plan for cleaner technology 1993-97
made by the National Agency of Environmental Protection in Denmark (Miljøstyrelsens
Handlingsplan for Renere Teknologi 1993-97), which main goals are: To secure the
implementation of the results from the former action plans, to continue the research- and
development activities, e.g. substitution of environmentally damaging substances and
materials, and to move the focus from production processes to products.
In 1995 the focus has mainly been set on projects which make an effort in the area of
cleaner technology either from selected industries, within particular product areas or for
extremely damaging substances. A number of projects constitute part of a larger and total
evaluation of the spreading of cleaner technology. The evaluation is concentrated on six
main areas, which were granted subsidies earmarked cleaner technology, in the period from
1987 to 1992.
A common theme of the evaluation projects is that the efforts for cleaner technology
will become beneficial, and that intensified initiatives will take place in some areas. A
lot of the projects suggest that in the light of new knowledge and through new
experiences, it will be possible to bring the rest of the industries up to the same level.
Another theme developed through the projects is the co-operation between industries and
authorities e.g. when it comes to environmental management. The final report of four
Environmental Management Projects (Miljøstyringsprojekter), initiated in 1993, has been
epoch marking when it comes to implementation and certification of environmental
management systems. This work will also continue.
Finally, methods and tools are developed in the projects, which can be used broadly to
value the environmental impact and find the target area where a reduction is needed the
most, and where it will have the most beneficial effects on the environment. In this
process models to calculate and evaluate environmental impacts, as well as national- and
operating economical consequences are used to an ever-increasing extent. Environmental
economy is a new area, which must be developed, and in which there is need for further
research.
Cross-references are given for the projects, which are part of important examinations
or if a preceding or following project exists.
This collection of reports will also be made in English.
