Environmental Management of Industrial
Estates
Industrial zones occupy large areas of land and can contribute significantly
to pollution and industrial risk. UNEP TIE, together with collaborating
organizations have developed guidelines for environmentally sensitive
planning of new industrial estates, and also environmentally enhanced operation
of those estates already in existence. Another area of importance is the
implementation of environmental management tools such as assessments, audits,
environmental reports and environmental management systems (EMS), for industrial
estates.
This page provides links to collaborating organizations in the issues outlined
above. It also contains a link to the Eight
actions to improve environmental performance of your industrial estate....
A number of links to publications on this topic is also given.
EnTA [More
Info]
"Environmental technology assessment
(EnTA) is a process where the environmental aspects of a technology are
systematically examined and described. The program's goal is to encourage
the assessment of use of technologies from an environmental perspective."
Detail description of EnTA is given in the next topic.
Environmental Impact Assessment
(EIA) (http://www.unepie.org/ipman/eia.html)
UNEP has commenced a project to help
senior managers in industry to better understand the principle aspects
of EIA and provide up-to-date advice on how to better manage and use the
EIA process in their companies. This program examines the linkages of EIA
with other environment management tools and the identification of training
needs for EIA. This will lead to a better assimilation of EIA into the
industry.
These issues are examined by an expert workshop to be held in Paris in
early December 1998. The proceedings will be published by UNEP in 1999.
Management of Contaminated Land
(http://www.unepie.org/ipman/land.html)
