Description
The Journal of Cleaner Production serves as an interdisciplinary, international forum for the exchange
of information and research results on the technologies, concepts and policies designed to help ensure progress towards sustainable societies.
It aims to encourage industrial innovation, new and improved products, and the implementation of new, cleaner processes, products and
services. It is also designed to stimulate the development and implementation of prevention oriented governmental policies and educational
programmes.
Cleaner production is a concept that goes beyond simple pollution control. It involves active research and development
into new, prevention-oriented processes, materials and products which are less toxic and more resource and energy efficient. Such proactive
approaches are increasingly becoming the primary corporate and government pathway for ensuring environmentally friendly and economically
sound production and service provision. Technical assistance and in-depth educational and training programs are increasingly being used
to accelerate the adoption of Cleaner Production of Cleaner Products and Services by industries, service organizations, governments,
universities and private citizens.
