PREFACE

Cleaner production and pollution prevention means the continuous application of an


integrated preventive environmental strategy to processes and products to reduce risks to
humans and the environment. For production processes, cleaner production includes
conserving raw materials and energy, eliminating toxic raw materials, and reducing the
quantity and toxicity of all emissions and wastes before they leave a process. For
Products, the strategy focuses on reducing impacts along the entire life cycle of the
product, from raw material extraction to the ultimate disposal of the product.

Cleaner production and pollution prevention can be achieved by applying know-how, by


improving technology, and by changing attitudes. Much of the current thinking on
environmental protection focuses on what to do with wastes and emissions after they
have been created. The goal of cleaner production and pollution prevention is to avoid
generating hazardous waste in the first place, and to minimize the use of raw materials
and energy.

Keeping in view the importance of clean production and pollution prevention methods in
production a two day workshop was jointly organized by SMEDA, MoIP&SI and The
World Bank. The objective of this workshop was to highlight the need for the adoption of
clean production methods by SMEs as well as large industries, suggesting that the
government and donors should encourage only those projects and programs that are
environment friendly.

WORKSHOP REPORT

Inaugural Session

The workshop was inaugurated by Mr. Shahab Khawaja, Secretary Ministry of Industries,
Production and Special Initiatives at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 at Pearl
Continental Hotel, Lahore, Pakistan.

Welcome address was delivered by Mr. Shahid Rashid, CEO SMEDA. He emphasized
the importance of clean production and pollution prevention technologies for SMEs. He
said that there was an urgent need to introduce environment friendly techniques of
production and technology in SME sector of Pakistan. Improvements in productivity and
environmental performance achieved through CP were extremely important, if Pakistan
was to compete effectively in a globalized market economy. However, awareness and
financial assistance were major constraints in adoption of a corporate social responsibility
culture. He said that large scale sector should lead the way to solve this issue by utilizing
their influence to ensure that their suppliers, which could be any where in the world, meet
certain environmental requirements. There was thus need to encourage large scale
organizations to assist their suppliers and vendors, which are largely SMEs, to adopt
environment - friendly production systems.

Then Mr. Paul Martin, Sr. Operations Advisor, The World Bank delivered his opening
remarks. He said that urban air pollution across Pakistan caused around 22,000 premature
deaths among adults and 700 deaths among children every year. The lack of potable
water and poor sanitation facilities were responsible for the spread of diseases like
diarrhea, typhoid and hepatitis. Over 40 million people lack access to clean drinking
water, and 60 million to basic sanitation facilities . Clean production and pollution
prevention measures should be encouraged at the industrial level to prevent such
problems. He emphasized the need of public private partnership to promote
environmental protective measures. He expressed confidence that this workshop would
help point the way towards more environmentally sustainable production in the SME
sector in Pakistan and assured the readiness of The World Bank to support the
recommendations of the workshop.
7
Then the Chief Guest, Mr. Shahab Khawaja, Secretary Ministry of Industries Production
and Special Initiatives delivered his speech. He mentioned that the Government of
Pakistan was in the process of implementing a comprehensive strategy to control
pollution through a set of environment related policies that cover diverse areas ranging
from industrial sector to forests, energy conservation and drinking water. However, the
industrial sector should fulfill all latest international trends, standards and codes of
conduct of international buyers for attracting business opportunities. Public sector and
private sector stakeholders should jointly make efforts for ensuring proper infrastructure
in industrial estates for clean and environmentally friendly energy resources, water,
sanitation etc. Dumping of solid waste and especially chemical waste had to be
eliminated. The donors and government functionaries should sponsor and encourage only
those projects and programs that are environmentally friendly.

Welcome Address by CEO SMEDA in the Inaugural Session of Clean
Production and Pollution Prevention Workshop, September 04, 2007,
Lahore Pakistan

• Mr. Shahab Khawaja, Secretary MoIP&SI


• Mr. Mr. Said Al Habsy, Senior Operations Advisor, The World Bank
• International and National Presenters, Speakers
• Distinguished Guests
• Ladies and Gentlemen

On behalf of the Government of Pakistan as well as SMEDA I welcome you all to


this workshop on Clean Production and Pollution Prevention.

I would like to express my gratitude to The World Bank for giving us an opportunity
to co-host this workshop and interact with the stakeholders from relevant sectors of
Industry, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises.

Ladies and Gentlemen


Pakistan’s economy has done remarkably well over the last 4-5 years and the GDP
growth has crossed the coveted 8% mark in FY 2004-05. The growth has been led
principally by the industry which was spurred by acceleration in aggregate domestic
demand, as well as steady increase in exports. In-fact, Pakistan has been one of the fastest
growing economies in Asia during this period. The economy has expanded from $60
billion to over $140 billion in the last seven years. We are seeing a steady growth in all
sectors of economy, including Small and Medium sector of Pakistan’s industry.

Apart from all of its virtues, industrial revolution has been a major source of pollution
and destruction of earth’s protective ozone layer, over the years. Pollution caused by
world industry is now disturbing the delicate balance of nature on earth. Moreover,
pollution is a serious threat for human health, animals and many types of eco-systems.

During the past few decades, the awareness of environmental problems has considerably
increased world over and during recent years “the environment” has become an important
issue in the industrial trade. Consequently, the need for ISO 14000 certification with the
objectives of enhancement in productivity and protection of the environment, is
increasing all around the globe.

Ladies and Gentlemen

As developing countries become more industrialized, they face challenge of mounting


environmental pollution. Pakistan, is not an exception, industrial growth is also causing
environmental pollution in the country. Most of the local industries of Pakistan were
established without giving much consideration to environmental issues. Consequently,
environmental degradation due to the uncontrolled and inefficient use of natural
resources, excessive generation of hazardous waste and the uncontrolled release of solid

13
wastes, air pollutants and untreated wastewater into the natural environment has become
a major challenge to Pakistan industry.

Despite the various measures taken by Government of Pakistan, industries of the country
generate huge amount of air emission, liquid and solid waste per day; which is not
managed properly, causing serious air, water and land pollution and health hazards. One
of the key reasons is lack of required financial and technical know how and support to the
industry. However government has chalked out a comprehensive policy framework and
undertaken various initiatives to cope with the problem. Enactment of Pakistan
Environmental Protection Act 1997, establishment of Pakistan Environment Protection
Council, and setting up Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency with its provincial
chapters remain some of the most noteworthy steps taken by the government to meet up
its commitment on environment.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pakistan is an economy comprising mainly of SMEs. The significance of their role is


clearly indicated by various statistics. There are approximately 3.2 million economic
establishments in the country out of which the number of entities comprising less than 99
employees is 2.96 million, reflecting that 93% of the entities fall in the category of SMEs.
SMEs have a pervasive presence across the economy with varying density. Whilst
Government of Pakistan is very concerned to uplift this vital sector of economy and
various steps are under the way, there are concerns that additional efforts should be
undertaken to introduce environment friendly techniques of production and technology in
SME sector of Pakistan. However one of the challenges, we are facing is the financial
constraints of SMEs to adopt this corporate social responsibility culture.

Many multinational companies world-over have launched comprehensive and innovative


environmental programs on their own, not just for themselves but for their suppliers as
well, most of whom are small and medium–sized enterprises (SMEs). It means that the
large corporations are using their purchasing power to ensure that their suppliers, which
could be any where in the world, meet certain environmental requirements. Assistance
may be extended where necessary because many SMEs lack the technical expertise and
resource to meet the new requirements.

Majority of the multinational and large companies and few SMEs in Pakistan are also
going for environmental certification due to their corporate policy. They are endeavoring
for better controls in order to slash the online process waste, conserve water, reuse the by
products and minimize the effects of downstream emissions by implementing cleaner
technologies. There is need to encourage large scale organization to assist their suppliers
and vendors, which again are SMEs to adopt environment friendly production systems.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


Cleaner production (CP) is a strategy for enhancing productivity and environmental
performance for overall socio-economic development. It is the application of the
appropriate techniques, technologies and management systems to produce
environmentally compatible goods and services. This combination of production is
extremely important, if Pakistan is to compete effectively in a globalize market
economy. Improvements in productivity and environmental performance achieved
14
through CP bring many bottom line savings; and at the same time increase profit and
efficiency.

Realizing the importance, SMEDA has joined hands with The World Bank to
increase awareness of the role of Clean production and for enhancing the
competitiveness of SMEs as well as large scale industry. This workshop will
hopefully be an enriching source for us to learn the best practices concerning use of
Clean Production.

I expect that the workshop will pave a way for identification of a unified plan of
action in this regard.

Once again thank you for being with us.

Speech by Chief Guest, Mr. Shahab Khawaja Secretary, Ministry of
Industries, Production & Special Initiatives, Government of Pakistan in the
Inaugural Session of Clean Production & Pollution Prevention Workshop,
September 04, 2007 - Lahore, Pakistan

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

It is a great honor and pleasure for me to address in the opening session of the workshop
on “Clean Production and Pollution Prevention” being held in the historical city of
Lahore – cultural hub of Pakistan.

In the process of development, the issues confronting today are achieving desired
development for economic or social reasons on one hand and safeguarding the
environment and maintaining good quality living conditions on the other. This workshop
is part of the mutual efforts of Government of Pakistan and The World Bank to ensure
consideration of the assimilative capacities of the environmental components i.e., air,
water and land by taking effective measures for clean production and pollution
prevention by all the stakeholders.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Thirteen million deaths are recorded annually due to preventable environmental causes in
the world. Preventing environmental risk could save as many as four million lives a year,
in children alone, mostly in developing countries. Proper environmental management is
the key to avoid most of the preventable illnesses which are directly caused by
environmental factors. The environment influences our health in many ways – through
exposures to physical, chemical and biological risk factors, and through related changes
in our behaviors in response to those factors. In organizational context, Cleaner
Production (CP) should be an essential part of any comprehensive pollution management
system, at the enterprise or the national level. Significant reductions in pollution loads
can often be obtained at little cost, and efficient use of resources and reduction in wastage
in industrial production. Despite the increasing and often much focused promotional
efforts, there is anecdotal evidence that the practical implementation of clean production
and environment prevention recommendations fell short of the desired level, although it
is believed that the situation is improving.

Ladies and Gentlemen:


Pakistan is a land of diverse landscapes in the South Asian region with varied terrain and
elevation extremes between lowest being the Indian Ocean and highest being the world’s
2nd highest mountain — K2.

Wide-ranging structural reforms, prudent macroeconomic policies, financial discipline


and consistency in policies have translated into significant economic growth in the past
five years. However, Pakistan’s performance on its social indicators does not compare
well with the average performance of middle-income countries. The cost of

16
environmental related health services remains relatively high due to water borne disease
incidence as well as close proximity of human habitats to the sources of emissions
coupled with skewed distribution of sewage, sanitation and piped water access.

During the past 15 years, several policies, plans, programs and projects have been
initiated for environmental protection and conservation in the sectoral areas of water and
air pollution control, land use, forest management, energy efficiency, biodiversity
conservation, and waste management, etc. In addition, Pakistan’s role in the international
community vis-à-vis its responsibilities for sustainable development has also become
known through the Government’s show of commitment for instance on biodiversity,
drought and desertification, and climate change, etc.
Despite an overall increase in environmentally aware stakeholders, Pakistan is faced with
numerous challenges that have gained recognition in the past 2 decades. There are
nonetheless sectoral gaps — capacity and knowledge — that limit the rate of success of
initiatives for pollution control, clean production and environmental protection and
management.

The effective Clean Management and Pollution Preservation require a two tier strategy.
At one end, an appropriate government policy and regulatory framework must be in place
to provide effective incentives for firms to adopt cleaner production and pollution
preservation measures. Accordingly, Govt. of Pakistan has implemented and is in the
process of implementation of comprehensive strategy framework which includes;

• National Environment Policy


• National Forest Policy
• National Conservation Strategy
• National Drinking Water Policy
• National Energy Conservation Policy

On the other hand, Industry, in many cases, is slow or incapable of responding to the
incentives, and requires appropriate assistance to adjust. The approaches adopted in this
regard may vary, depending on the characteristics of the sector and of the firms involved.
The World Bank may have a particular role in this area through assistance in the
increased productivity and environmental performance of the small scale and informal
sectors, where adoption of improved methods is often very uneven.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pakistan is also playing an active role in effectively coordinating the international


environment issues with various countries unilaterally and multilaterally and with
international agencies working in the UN system and outside it. Pakistan is therefore
serious in fulfilling its global commitments for environment protection. Pakistan has
actively participated in the Stockholm Conference on Human Environment (1972),
signed Agenda-21 at Rio de Janeiro, a global commitment to protect environment, and
promote sustainable development. Pakistan has already ratified the Rio Conventions i.e.
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and prepared the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP)
17
and ratified the Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD) in 1997. Moreover,
Pakistan has ratified a few other Multi-lateral Environment Agreements, which are being
implemented. Pakistan presented its National Conservation Strategy (NCS) at Rio in
1992 and pioneered among the developing countries in developing NCS.

Pakistan has successfully steered the One UN initiative and has therefore been selected as
a model country for the implementation of the One UN programme on pilot basis. The
experience will then be replicated in other countries. Pakistan has been elected as the
chair of the G-7 and China; a group comprising most of the developing countries and has
got a very popular voice at almost all the international forums

I think that the message that needs to be owned by industry is that latest international
trends, standards and codes of conduct of international buyers have to be fulfilled for
attracting business opportunities. Public sector and private sector stakeholders should
jointly make efforts for ensuring proper infrastructure in industrial estates for clean and
environmentally friendly energy resources, water, sanitation etc. Dumping of solid waste
and especially chemical waste has to be eliminated. The donors and government
functionaries should sponsor and encourage only those projects and programs that are
environmentally friendly.

I hope that through this workshop, the participants will have better understanding of the
common issues on agenda points, assess key success factors attributed to developing
sustainable initiatives, and develop effective strategic plans.
From this perspective, I sincerely wish that the workshop on Clean Production and
Pollution Prevention will contribute towards collective as well as subjective efforts by all
the quarters regarding the issue. I urge all the participants to contribute with their full
efforts to reach a concrete outcome at the end of this workshop.

Thank you for your kind attention.
