Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) allows businesses to apply integrated and continuous preventive environmental strategies to processes, products, and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. In short, RECP helps companies minimise the environmental impact of their operations and cut their resource use while raising their productivity.
About 400 enterprises in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova received tailored RECP recommendations to help them improve their environmental performance, lower production costs, and boost productivity. In addition, over 140 national experts were trained on the RECP methodology.
Each national brochure highlights the direct impacts of the RECP methodology on the SMEs in the countries as part of the EaP Green and EU4Environment programmes.
