Implementing an Eco-Efficiency Project 

The document 'Cleaner Production Guidelines' is taken from 'Environmental Capacity Building in APEC.  Policies, Research and Programs in Cleaner Production' published by The Research Institute for Asia and the Pacific (RIAP), 1999. The document discusses steps for implementing a successful Eco-efficiency/Cleaner Production project.
