Asia Pacific Roundtable for Cleaner Production

The growing new economies within the Asia Pacific region have raised concern about the environmental impacts generated from the industrialization and urbanization. Pollution has become one of the pressing issues in the region. The introduction of Cleaner Production approach has been seen as a new and innovative strategy to overcome the problem. In the recent years, countries within Asia Pacific region have embraced and implemented Cleaner Production strategies

In 1997 the first Asia Pacific regional conference on CP was held in Bangkok, Thailand. The participants in Bangkok conference agreed that a mechanism to share information and technology, training programs and regional events should be established. As a result a new organization: the Asia Pacific Roundtable for Cleaner Production (ARPCP) was established in 1998.

The mission of APRCP is to provide leadership and support that will enhance information flow and human resource development, and will strengthen public-private partnership to stimulate the promotion and implementation of cleaner production strategies and technologies in the region. The 2nd APRCP regional conference was held in Brisbane, Australia in 1999, then followed by the 3rd APRCP in Manila.

At the closing ceremony of the 3rd APRCP in Manila, Indonesia has been selected as the host for the next 4th APRCP regional conference in the year 2002.
