Environmental Technology Program for Industry (ETPI) was initiated by the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and the Government of Netherlands. NEC is the lead consulting firm, in consortium with four other consulting firms of HASKONING, KWT, MDF and Hagler Baily to implement this project. A five year project initiated in 1996, ETPI aims to assist Pakistani industries and their associations in identifying the most economical pollution prevention and abatement technologies, and in implementing these solutions.
|
| OBJECTIVES In alignment with the National Conservation Strategy (NCS) ETPI covers all priority industrial sub-sectors of textile, fertilizer, paper and paper board, leather, cement and sugar, etc. to promote use of environmentally safe technologies for environmentally safe production of Pakistan's manufacturing/industrial sector products. This process shall be achieved by promoting and adopting measures for pollution abatement, waste management and recycling, chemical recovery, efficient utilization of natural/economic resources, and production and installation of instrumentation and control systems for utilization of efficient and environmentally safe production technologies.
