The meeting took place on 19 March 2024 to discuss RECP and innovation as a key for sustainable industrial development in Armenia.
The goal of this event was to present the results of the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) activities and outline innovative solutions recommended and implemented within EU4 Environment Action in Armenia.
Real-world business cases from Armenia were showcased, demonstrating how RECP principles are actively enhancing sustainability and fostering innovation in industries such as food/agriculture, construction materials, and chemical production (including metal and plastic production), energy and water solutions, and technical approaches tested within pilot projects funded by EU, Energy Saving Foundation, International Center for Agriculture Research and Education and other companies.
Specific case studies from Armenian enterprises implemented within the RECP activities under the EU4Environment Action reveal the tangible benefits. These include significant reductions in energy and water consumption, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions, coupled with cost savings and improved production efficiencies. Such examples illustrate the potential of RECP to drive both environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness in Armenia.
The event gathered 30 participants from government, SMEs, civil society, research, and academia.
