Recycling and cleaner production: an integrated environmental responsibility and development

Abstract EN

Caring about environment is no longer avolunteering in society for a specific time or place, but rather a duty and necessity required by the economic activities of institutions and a priority within decisions and legislations as well as daily behaviors of members of society.

Both cleaner production and recycling are based on protecting the environment and reducing or eliminating pollution, so cleaner production is a continuous application of preventive activities that include manufacturing, marketing and service operations.

These activities aim to increase efficiency and reduce risks that threat the environment.

Recycling of various wastes has been used as aspects of adopting environmental responsibility To achieve several benefits like financial returns and reducing pollution for both institution and environment, cleaner production and recycling are a purposeful activity to reach a society with environmental behavior and healthy environment.
