Sustainable Production (SP) of the Biomass Industries in Malaysia

Optimising Economic Potential and Moving towards Higher Value Chain

Co-funded by: Supported by: In collaboration with:

What is ?

• To ‘switch’ from unsustainable to sustainable patterns of development in Asian countries

• A development cooperation initiative of the European Union (EU)

• Directly contributes to sustainable development and address global climate change issues.

• A programme focused on sustainable consumption and production (SCP) and SMEs

Principles of SCP

• Sustainable production emphasizes improving environmental performance in the supply sector.

• Sustainable consumption addresses the consumer’s demands of goods and services.

• Involves concerted effort of business, government, communities and household in enhancing environmental quality through:• Efficient production and use of natural resources

• Waste minimization and recycling

• Design of environmentally-friendly products and services

Project Motivation

Objectives

1. To develop Malaysian family-owned SMEs to implement SP models in the biomass industry – economic growth, social well-being and address the issues of industrial pollution

2. To improve biomass supply chain in Malaysia by promoting collaboration between EU-Malaysia biomass industry, research institutions and universities

3. To reduce industrial emissions by improving production process of biomass commercialization projects and contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts

4. To create the enabling environment for improving policy cohesiveness
