IMPLEMENTATION OF RESOURCE EFFICIENT AND CLEANER PRODUCTION OPTIONS AT UKRAINIAN ENTERPRISES

Abstract

Raising resource efficiency is the key task for green transformation of the Ukrainian industry. Resource Efficient
and Cleaner Production Centre assists companies in development of options to enhance resource efficiency
and environmental performance. However, monitoring shows that companies do not use high potential
identified during in-plant assessments. Main barriers at company level are low awareness of the benefits of the
resource efficient and cleaner production approach, limited access to financial resources, inadequate human
capacities, and absence of incentives from the state.
