Clean Manufacturing

Clean Manufacturing 

Clean manufacturing involves activities related to clean production design, clean materials, research and development of clean production technology, clean production equipment and products, services to clean production, and relevant investment and financing.

Clean manufacturing aims to prevent or reduce the generation of waste at source or during the process. Together with energy-saving and eco-friendly industries that focus on end-of-pipe control, they can avoid generating pollutants from the source to the end-product.

The report to the CPC's 19th National Congress announced the decision to boost the development of energy-saving and eco-friendly industries as well as clean manufacturing and clean energy industries. This was the first time that the concept of "clean manufacturing industries" was introduced, indicating the direction for fostering new growth areas in green industry.

Clean manufacturing is an essential element of an eco-civilization in the new era and supports the upgrading of traditional industries. It will offer an internal driving force for enterprises to minimize pollution discharge throughout the whole process, and ultimately promote effective green, low-carbon and circular development.

清洁生产产业

清洁生产产业，即围绕清洁生产活动形成的产业，包括清洁生产设计、清洁原料、清洁生产技术研发、清洁生产装备和产品、清洁生产服务、投融资等一系列活动的集合。清洁生产产业旨在通过源头削减和过程控制减少和避免污染物的产生，它与侧重末端治理的节能环保产业有机结合，实现了从源头到末端的全过程污染减排。

中共十九大报告指出“壮大节能环保产业、清洁生产产业、清洁能源产业”，首次明确了清洁生产产业的概念和要求，为绿色产业培育新的增长点指明了方向。发展清洁生产产业是新时代中国生态文明建设的迫切需求，是传统产业升级改造的重要着力点，是强化企业全过程污染减排的内部驱动力，是促进绿色低碳循环发展的有效途径。
