The WA Cleaner Production Statement

PLEASE NOTE
We regret to advise that, due to lack of resources, WASIG has found it necessary to suspend its overseeing activities. We will keep this WA Cleaner Production Statement page as current as possible, but we will not be able to seek new signatories. We will strive to find new resources to continue the excellent work WASIG achieved since 2001. In the meantime, we encourage all Statement signatories to pursue their Action Plans and to report on their performance.

One of the key activities of WA SIG is promotion of the WA Cleaner Production Statement (copy). The main mechanism for this is to encourage members of WA SIG to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (copy) to implement the Statement within their organisation through development of, and reporting against, an appropriate action plan.

The Cleaner Production Statement calls on stakeholders in WA to consider Cleaner Production and Eco-Efficiency seriously and act accordingly. In short it encourages:

• State Government Agencies and Local Governments to adopt and promote Cleaner Production as a preferred approach for implementing policies, programs and activities;
• Manufacturers, service industries and educational institutions to be aware of and assess the Cleaner Production approach, and have the expertise available to apply its principles and practices to its activities;
• Consumers to have the opportunity to support Cleaner Production efforts by demanding products and services that are provided by enterprises that practice Cleaner Production;
• Community to recognise that the prices of goods and services should reflect the full life cycle cost of providing those products and services.

Stakeholders in WA are invited to become signatories to the Cleaner Production Statement. Becoming a signatory (see implementation guidelines) will reflect the organisation's general endorsement for the Cleaner Production Statement and commitment to undertake activities that foster the uptake of Cleaner Production among the organisation's constituency.

The Hon. Dr. Judy Edwardes (MLA), State Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Water Resources, released the WA Cleaner Production Statement at Curtin University of Technology on Thursday 24 May 2001 at the inaugural signing ceremony witnessed by Mr Niclas Svenningsen, Environmental Affairs Officer, United Nations Environment Programme and Professor Rene Van Berkel, Convenor, WA Sustainable Industry Group .
