Technology

The technology database that we present was created with the aim to make accessible to the potential users a search tool on pollution prevention technologies for the different industrial sectors. Nowadays, the technology database includes information for the following sectors: textile, pulp and paper, metallurgy, tanning, metal platting and discontinuous chemical sector.

Hence, different universities and consultancy firms have reviewed its content and notified the companies being part of it of the aim of making the database of public access.

The goal of this database is assisting users on available technologies without that implying on the part of the Regional Activity Centre for Cleaner Production or their public companies neither any recommendation on the suitability of the technologies compiled, nor ensuring the results of their application. The viability of applying each technology will have to be assessed case by case.

The database, organised in subsectors, processes, waste flows, pollutants and technology types, allows for performing simple or advanced search including the aforementioned fields and others, as well as by key word.

Accessing the Technology Database is public and free of charge.

Any individual or party who desires to make public either a technology, equipment or material allowing for reduction and/or recycling of pollution at source may request including the former to this database , or that the technologies already made public are either modified or widened (cleanpro@cprac.org)
