Development of Sustainable Industrial Estates

Development of Sustainable Industrial Estates Increase your business opportunities by using GTZ services Introduction The fast and all too often uncontrolled spread of industrial estates in developing and transition countries has resulted in serious environmental damage. There is a lack of economic incentives to promote initial moves towards improved conditions as well as a lack of social standards to ensure that basic rights of employees are respected. Increasing demand from these countries shows that there exists a need for advisory services in this area. GTZ can offer all encompassing expert guidance since it has competence in all areas of sustainability as well as extensive experience in the areas of technical cooperation and international policy advice. The concept ‘Eco-Industrial Park’ combines the three elements of sustainability and is therefore consistent with the decisions taken by the UN Conference for Environment and Development.

Example: Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Thailand The Eco Forum of the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand developed into an ‘idea exchange’ for eco-industrial projects between individual firms. Within two years over 450 projects with a total of 60 companies were presented with projects ranging from material savings over training, transportation to joint energy projects and safety plans.

Sustainable Industrial Estates - Impact: Services

Increase competitiveness by focussing on your core business GTZ's organized services will create synergies and attract new companies to your industrial estate Challenges To stay competitive, companies need to cut costs, but at the same time they have to provide quality products, adhere to delivery dates and match international standards. Although in an industrial estate companies are located close to one another, there is rarely cooperation between the firms. Many services required by companies demand special skills, resources and facilities that are often too expensive and complex to handle for any single company. In fields like technical services, environmental protection, capacity building and security, where synergies leading to financial savings could easily be achieved, companies are interacting inadequately.

Impacts and Benefits Within an industrial estate, a specialized service company that provides tailored traditional services like transportation, waste disposal and electricity supply and other specifically designed services for industrial parks can create synergies and boost operational effectiveness of complex tasks. By outsourcing and creating innovative services new business opportunities for SMEs will arise. Companies concentrating on their core business and their overall processes will run smoother. This will generate not only benefits for individual companies but result in creating a positive image of being an industrial park which is well managed, equipped with an up-to-date infrastructure and economically excelling service providers.

Example: Thailand: Establishment of Eco-Industrial Networks in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and GTZ implemented the “DEE+ Net Project” (Development of Eco Industrial Estates and Networks) to introduce eco-industrial principles into the Map Ta Phut Industrial Park on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand. The project objective was to enable industrial estate developers, estate operators and enterprises in selected industrial estates to apply the Eco-Industrial Development approach to develop their businesses. An Eco- Forum was developed and has become an ideas clearinghouse for eco-industrial projects between individual firms. Within two years, more than 450 projects involving some 60 companies have been presented. The range includes material conservation, training, transportation, joint energy projects and safety plans.

The effective management of an industrial estate requires a well-organized service structure. Only a specialized service company can handle complex service tasks, create synergies and boost operational effectiveness of complex tasks.

Sustainable Industrial Estates - Impact: SME

SMEs as a motor for productivity and competitiveness GTZ strategies strengthen SMEs and lead to an increase in productivity and competitiveness of industrial estates Challenges Although a significant part of the economy in developing countries is represented by SMEs, their activities are generally located in traditional branches with low levels of productivity and poor quality products. Since SMEs often lack internal access to relevant business information and know-how, there is little or no technological dynamics and only few have a chance to sustainable growth. If industrial estates do not establish supplier relations with local SMEs, the local economy, as well as the overall performance of the industrial estate will be weakened and transport costs will increase. Only if park owners or large industries situated in an industrial estate actively support and integrate SMEs located inside or close by the park into the supply chain can local SME potential be used.

Impacts and Benefits GTZ has extensive expertise in promoting and strengthening SMEs. SMEs with welltrained employees and access to financial sources are able to increase their productivity and competitiveness and serve as true job creators as well as important players in the technology supply chain. SMEs can handle more complex tasks and are able to discover new opportunities for cooperation as well as for new business strategies. Large companies located in the industrial estate are able to outsource parts of their economic activity in favour of the SMEs and thus concentrate on their core competence. This leads to a better performance and lower costs of the large companies and therefore to an increase in productivity and competitiveness of the whole industrial park.

Example: Philippines: Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development for Sustainable Employment Program The private sector is increasingly considered by the Philippine government as the driving force behind economic and social development. However, structural and institutional problems are hampering efficient and dynamic management at both national and regional level. The SMEDSEP Program follows an integrated approach for the development of the private sector in the Philippines with a regional focus on the Visayas. The program, which is working on the development of the unfolding entrepreneurial potential and the promotion of competition, comprises the following four components: SME policy, business development services for SMEs, access to financial services for SMEs and demand- driven vocational training programs.

SMEs are the backbone and driving force for an industrial estate. GTZ services emphasize the key role of SMEs and help improve their economic strength and productivity. Only if SMEs are integrated into the supply chain, large companies can concentrate on their core competence and thus increase their productivity.

Services „ PREMA (Profitable Environmental Management): Promotion of environmental management that leads to reduced production costs, improved environmental performance and the promotion of organisational change.

„ SME Finance Institution Building and training advisory services for SME financing.

„ CEFE (Competence based Economies Formation of Enterprise): Improves the entrepreneurial performance of economic actors through guided selfanalysis, stimulating entrepreneurial behaviour, and the development of business competencies.

Sustainable Industrial Estates- Impact: Policy

Success through compliance with national and international standards GTZ helps to create an investor-friendly and attractive environment in your industrial estate. Challenges An industrial park developer or manager needs to stay closely in touch with the changing field of policy and regulations since it entails both opportunities and constraints to the industrial estate. On a national level, policy-makers need to be aware of the specific policy requirements of eco-industrial developments. Special laws and regulations are necessary to facilitate the exchange of material flow both inside the industrial estate and with the surrounding area. On an international level, the non-application of international standards and conventions leads to a decrease in competitiveness. Negative media coverage due to missing social and ecological minimum standards leads to decreasing support of the local community as well as to declining orders from international or large companies that are concerned about their image.

Impacts and Benefits National policy: The application of national policies for industrial estates leads to a more investor-friendly environment, which strengthens the estate as a whole. Defined processes provide quality assurance to the stakeholders of the industrial estate. The economic weight as well as the benefits generated inside the park will lead to increased tax revenues for the local communities as well as to additional employment and thus, a strengthening of the region. International policy: The application of international standards and conventions leads to increased competitiveness. A growing number of international groups will only invest in an industrial estate that is operating according to international rules and standards. The application of international standards provides quality assurance to companies and investors, competitiveness will be increased and thus more companies will be attracted to the industrial estate.

Example: Tunisia: Successful advisory services for the Ministry of the Environment Environmental protection has a high political priority in Tunisia and the country is regarded – in comparison to other Maghreb countries – as an advanced example for the implementation of environmental policy. Nevertheless, the country is still facing major challenges with regard to the environment. Therefore, GTZ is providing strategic advice on environmental policy at the national, regional and local levels and is implementing projects in the area of decentralisation, involvement of the private sector, prevention of environmental damage and pollution.

Compliance with national and international standards is a key factor for successful business operations in an industrial estate. GTZ offers many years of expertise in advising national and local authorities on developing policies for industrial estates.

Sustainable Industrial Estates - Module: Production

Increasing productivity by using innovative management methods Sustainable development can provide faster growth and higher productivity through innovative management systems Challenges In an ever more globalized world entrepreneurs who want to stay competitive are facing the challenge to adapt production to constantly changing conditions. Due to fierce competition firms are facing a growing pressure to cut costs and at the same time boost productivity and environmental performance. The increasing demand in industrialised countries for sustainably produced products and the need to comply with international production standards as well as the growing importance of environmental issues in the national context of developing countries require a rethinking and the willingness to introduce innovative management structures and production methods. Since an industrial estate can only operate as successfully as the industries located within it, it is of great interest for any industrial estate to face these challenges and to help its companies to restructure their management and production methods.

Impacts and Benefits By using GTZ services the cost structure of companies can be optimised, more efficient use of raw materials and energy can be realized and the non-product output can be reduced. The operational and disposal costs will be minimized and productivity will increase. Due to innovative management systems the information flow between the different companies located inside the park will be enhanced and more companies can be integrated into the supply chain. This leads to an increase in the overall park productivity and competitiveness and consequently more companies and customers will be attracted to the industrial estate. Additionally sustainable production methods will lead to an enhanced image of the industrial estate and help to qualify products for a broader market.

Examples: Paraguay: A round table for Clean Industrial Production The Paraguayan Ministry of Industry and Trade – in cooperation with GTZ – is pursuing a strategy to introduce companies to the profitable aspects of environmental protection such as process savings, cost management and enhanced competitiveness. The project’s objective is that the Paraguayan industry makes greater use of clean technologies and resource efficient methods. The emphasis lies on disseminating best- practice experience with production that uses resources and energy more efficiently while reducing environmental impacts.

GTZ helps industrial estates to meet international production standards and thus, to stay competitive on an international level. The use of innovative management and production methods enhances product quality and increases the efficiency of the production process.

Sustainable Industrial Estates - Impact: Communities

Regional development policy as a key factor for success Local communities as important stakeholders for your industrial estate

Challenges One of the most important factors to guarantee an industrial estate’s success is its integration into regional planning. An industrial estate that is isolated from the regional infrastructure and the local communities or that planned its integration insufficiently will not be able to integrate local suppliers or attract the local workforce to the industrial estate. Additionally, if the planning undertaken was insufficient, instead of benefiting from economic profits and additional employment opportunities, local communities could face consequences like noise, environmental pollution and the risk of accidents and thus, can become major opponents to industrial parks. To avoid these problems and to guarantee a frictionless integration of the industrial estate into the local community, aspects like land management and resource protection have to be addressed and evaluated from the beginning.

Impacts and Benefits The integration of industrial estates into the local infrastructure and the regional planning policy will stabilize the position of the industrial estate and increase its influence when negotiating with local politicians, local administration and citizens. Good relations to the local communities result in a motivated work force and a positive image of the industrial estate in the region. The systematic management of community relations by taking on social responsibility, employing the local workforce, establishing supply chains with companies in the area and providing services (such as waste water treatment or waste disposal) to local authorities leads to increased identification of the employees with their place of work and thus to smoother business operations. The industrial estate improves its image and therefore attracts better-qualified workers.

Example: Brazil: PRORENDA – Support of sustainable local development in Pernambuco In the metropolitan area of Recife almost half of the population is considered to be poor. In spite of industry’s recent growth rates, the formal labour market has not been able to offer a substantial number of jobs to the growing group of people seeking employment. The GTZ- PRORENDA concept in Brazil combined support to the informal sector with activities promoting urban and rural development at the same time. Urban and regional development planning, participation processes, community development and decentralization efforts of the state government and municipal governments were assisted. Moreover, participatory planning and implementation was introduced to increase the involvement of the population in local and regional decisionmaking.

Good relations to local communities are an important asset for successful industrial estate management. Following an integrated approach, GTZ offers many years experience in regional development, citizen participation and conflict mediation.

Environmental Management Tianjin, China

Chinese companies improve their productivity through environmental management Achieving pollution reduction through improved environmental policy measures Scenario

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute over 90% of all companies outside the agricultural sector in developing countries. In China, SMEs provide jobs for two-thirds of the national workforce and account for about 60% of the national industrial output value and over 50% of GDP. However, despite significant progress made by Chinese SMEs in past decades, many of them still use outdated technologies; have ambiguous ownership structures and division of responsibility as well as having a severe environmental impact. While the pressure from national and local environmental authorities is mounting, most Chinese SMEs lack awareness, motivation, long-term vision, information and management skills necessary to address their environmental impacts. Existing environmental management systems are too complex and too expensive to be implemented by many SMEs. Under these conditions, there is a growing demand for SME-oriented management tools that deliver tangible, quantifiable results and help SMEs develop their own management capacities.

Project The national (China State Environmental Protection Agency) and local environmental authorities (e.g. Tianjin Environmental Protection Bureau) and small and medium-sized enterprises should be able to initiate and support sustainable measures for the improvement of ecoefficiency as a result of this program. Specific objective of the project is the development of suitable environmental management tools for SMEs that can help Chinese enterprises apply eco-efficiency approaches and face current market challenges. To reach this objective, the project undertakes a number of training programs based on the GTZ-P3U "Profitable Environmental Management PREMA®" programme. PREMA training aims to increase an enterprise’s efficiency in terms of utilization and conservation of material and resources, strengthening their organizational capacities to react to and initiate changes, and improving their environmental performance. Participants are trained to apply a method of matching costs to material flows to identify the most important potentials for improvement in their respective companies. Following an analysis of existing problems, participants develop detailed action plans and improvement measures, assisted by qualified trainers and international and national sector experts.

GTZ supports the development of suitable environmental management tools for SMEs that can help Chinese enterprises apply eco-efficiency approaches and face current market challenges.

Impacts Since its inception at the beginning of 2003, the project has achieved positive impacts in three areas: Long-term application of PREMA as an eco-efficiency tool in about fifteen of twenty-two SMEs trained in total; creation of a local training team capable of advancing PREMA trainings; and dissemination of PREMA as eco-efficiency concept in three provinces. Within a six-month period, participants of PREMA intensive training in Tiajnin implemented over 30 improvement measures that resulted in average economic savings of Euro 3 000 per measure and significant environmental benefits, particularly in the areas of energy consumption and resource utilization. Although exact figures vary significantly with size of the participating companies and availability of funds for implementation, measures initiated have clearly demonstrated the link between improved environmental performance and increased profits and motivated most of the participating SMEs to integrate PREMA methods in daily operations. The project was successful not only in encouraging participants to take on responsibility for PREMA in their companies themselves, but also in creating a network among SMEs. Network meetings have been highly appreciated by participants as effective instruments to facilitate communication among the companies, encourage information, and mobilize and access resources needed for further PREMA implementation.

Andrha Pradesh Eco-Industrial Estate, India

Andrha Pradesh Eco-Industrial Estate Development of a pilot eco-industrial estate in Andrha Pradesh, India Scenario

India is the world’s sixth largest and second fastest growing producer of greenhouse gases. In some regions pollution and depletion of natural resources have reached such dimensions that they represent an immense risk to human health. Nevertheless, it is necessary to attract more investment to India and the promotion of special economic zones is a step taken to improve the living conditions of the Indian population. In the state of Andrha Pradesh a special economic zone (SEZ) will be developed. To avoid overloading the carrying capacity of the region and to ensure that the pollution caused by a conglomerate of industries is not going to lead to any further harm as well as to stimulate international investment, the Indian Central Pollution Board in cooperation with GTZ supports the Andrha Pradesh Industry Infrastructure Development Corporation to develop a model eco-industrial estate.

Project The project aims to develop a pilot Eco-Industrial Park. The devised strategy will be applied to the site right from the inception stage to ensure proper planning and development of the estate. In addition, one of the existing industrial estates in Nacharam or Mallapur that are known for causing pollution problems will be encouraged to apply eco-industrial principles. The project’s objective is to improve the planning process of the design of the eco-industrial estate. Possible industries and technologies as well as site suitability will be evaluated and problems associated with the manufacturing process addressed. An environmental management plan, which includes policies for waste minimization, air pollution control, hazardous waste collection, the development of a green belt etc. will be established to lead to improvements in the overall management. GTZ supports the Andrha Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure cooperation in the implementation process with information about state-of-the-art technology and training of staff. Clean technologies, waste minimization and pollution control measures will be demonstrated and strategies to monitor the progress and impacts of implementation will be established.

GTZ offers integrated strategies for the development of Eco-Industrial Estates. In India a special economic zone will be developed. The Eco-Industrial Park concept helps to control pollution and to stimulate international investment.

Impacts The development of the Special Economic Zone as an Eco-Industrial Estate will lead to a platform for more effective policy and regulations in the area of industrial and environmental management. This will be established in dialogue between state and local governments and provided for by the cooperation partners (GTZ; Central Pollution Control Board; Andrha Pradesh Pollution Control Board and Andrha Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corp.) Hence, sustainable development in Andhra Pradesh and the spread of the concept of Eco-Industrial Parks in the region will be fostered.

Jababeka Industrial Estate, Indonesia

Jababeka Industrial Estate An Indonesian-German Environmental Cooperation Program (Time Period 2003 – 2007)

Scenario As is the case in many other Asian countries, Indonesia has readily implemented the industrial estate concept in order to accommodate the specific needs of foreign investors. Establishing industrial estates is perceived as a promising local economic development strategy to attract international investment by facilitating the often lengthy process of obtaining permits and licenses and by providing infrastructure access such as road systems, water, waste disposal, electricity, telecommunication lines, etc. However, expected benefits could not be realized as envisaged. Jababeka Industrial Estate is a modern agglomeration of 987 companies located near the capital, which has large multinational corporations from all different sectors as their main clients (about 65% are foreign investors). In comparison with other Indonesian Industrial Estates, Jababeka is quite active in the field of environmental management. A few indicators of Jababeka’s involvement in the environmental sector are their environmentally friendly concept, the ISO 9001-2000 certification of the estate management, and an environmental monitoring system.

Project In February 2003, Jababeka Industrial Estate (JAB) voiced its interest to incorporate the concept of Eco-Industrial Development within their industrial estate and appealed to the Indonesian Ministry of Environment (MoE) for support and cooperation. A Memorandum of Understanding formalized this private initiative to develop and implement Eco-Industrial Development (EID) concepts. Thus, the Ministry of Environment and Jababeka Industrial Estate, with GTZ/ProLH acting as a facilitator, agreed to cooperate in the implementation of the first Eco-Industrial Estate in Indonesia. In a first screening several problems and hazards have been detected by the Jababeka working group and GTZ, which are in need of improvement: „ Need for better telecommunication and roads to regulate the traffic congestion into and out of the estate „ Improvement of the insufficient transportation service „ Organization of a structure to actively involve the community „ Organization and control of an appropriate hazardous waste management system (collection, disposal, transport, recycling) „ Improved cooperation with the informal waste sector in order to prevent illegal dumping „ Improvement of environmental data required by government

The ministry of Environment, Jababeka Industrial Estate and GTZ cooperate in the implementation of the first Eco-Industrial Estate in Indonesia.

Impacts The Eco-Industrial development in Jababeka Industrial Estate is an ongoing process and will continue at least until 2007, which marks the end of Phase II of the project. Until June 2003 a “Good Housekeeping Workshop” (GTZ tool) and a Chemical Workshop have been conducted with 14 companies. Seven companies are identified as EID champions and have been asked to document their environmental and social activities, so that they can share their success stories with other factories, and, thus, motivate and promote interest in EID. In an effort to enable the identification of development issues, synergies and hot spots/risks, a situational analysis of Jababeka is currently in preparation. Presently the Jababeka facilitation team is developing criteria and a database for EcoIndustrial Development. The database will be linked to the EID-Centre and an Information Centre (“Eco-Centre”) will promote positive EID experiences at Jababeka.

Mactan Economic Zone, Philippines

Mactan Economic Zone Developing a Management Approach for Eco-Industrial Development in Filipino Economic Zones

Scenario

In the Philippines economic zones have been established to attract foreign direct investment in order to create local jobs for the growing population. After the Asian financial crisis foreign investors have returned to the Philippines, but at a much slower pace. The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), the government agency responsible for the development of public and private economic zones, has realized that it also needs to promote economic zones to local businesses, especially small and medium- sized enterprises and develop respective strategies. In order to ensure future economic growth and social benefits without compromising environmental conditions, PEZA has decided to restructure its management approach by adopting eco-industrial development principles to create a favourable framework for sustainable development of Philippine economic zones. In managing and regulating economic zones, PEZA is faced with a number of critical issues, especially inadequate waste management and a lack of coordination with national and local government agencies.

Project In cooperation with GTZ PEZA has taken the initiative to introduce ecoindustrial development into the management of the four publicly operated economic zones and promote it to private developers. In cooperation with PEZA, GTZ provides: „ „ „

„ „

Institutional capacity development at PEZA headquarters and for the field staff, Improvement of inter-agency cooperation in industrial and environmental development issues, Promotion of cooperation between enterprises through ecoindustrial networks within the economic zones and at the regional level, with government agencies, financial institutions and research institutions, Services for technical solutions, improved environmental management tools and regulations, Information management, promotion strategies and industrial policy oriented towards eco-industrial development.

Based on experiences with activities at the pilot site of Mactan Island, the project will develop an eco-industrial development strategy for PEZA that should be disseminated to all economic zones in the Philippines for adaptation.

Philippine Economic Zone Authority in cooperation with GTZ develops an eco- industrial strategy that should be disseminated to all economic zones in the Philippines for adaptation.

Impacts Since the beginning of project activities in January 2003, PEZA has established a highlevel dialogue with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources at the national and regional levels to reorganize implementation procedures. Key issue is the simplification and time reduction of licensing procedures for companies, thus reducing their overhead cost. PEZA is conducting an industrial zone survey to gain a detailed picture of issues and needs. The findings will be discussed with companies and stakeholders and are intended as a baseline for a participatory planning process that will identify solutions. At the pilot site in Mactan, an Eco-Forum has been established as a regular event to improve communication between the zone’s management and company representatives. In longer intervals, stakeholder roundtables are organized to discuss current zone management issues with local government units, industry representatives and the community. Through the communication with stakeholders and companies, five key issues of concern have been identified for Mactan. Waste management, safe waste recycling and disposal are critical issues due to a lack of facilities and qualified management. Infrastructure and zone management are also of concern. A number of companies feel the need for guidance to be able to comply with international standards and market requirements.

Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate, Thailand

Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate Establishment of Eco-Industrial Networks in the Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate

Scenario During the last four decades Thailand was able to achieve extraordinary growth rates. While increasing overall wealth, the uncontrolled growth also led to dramatic increases in environmental pollution like contaminated soils, a decline in drinking water quality or increasing concentration of mercury in coastal areas. Although Thai companies are starting to realize that compliance with international standards is of high importance, the introduction of sustainable production methods is still considered primarily a cost factor that they are reluctant to bear. To stimulate controlled industrialisation outside Bangkok, the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) was founded some 30 years ago. It is responsible for the control and supervision of 29 industrial estates, where more than 400,000 employees are working in approximately 2,000 factories. Eight estates operate under the responsibility and management of IEAT, whereas the remaining estates operate as joint ventures with private investors and developers. Industrial estates with their high number of industries in a designated area can produce a concentration of pollution, waste and by-products, which are increasingly the subject of concern. Rising complaints by people affected forced governmental agencies including IEAT to act urgently and encourage industries to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly in their production lines.

Project The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and GTZ implemented the “DEE+ Net Project” (Development of Eco-Industrial Estates and Networks) to introduce eco-industrial principles into Thai industrial and environmental policies and regulations to upgrade industrial production. The project objective was to enable industrial estate developers, estate operators and enterprises in selected industrial estates to apply the Eco-Industrial Development approach to develop their businesses. In order to stimulate eco-industrial development, GTZ assisted IEAT in introducing a sustainable eco-industrial service structure for the operation of its industrial estates. Activities focused on four areas: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Developing an Eco-Industrial Park concept Establishment of Eco-Industrial Networks Institutional capacity development for Eco-Industrial Estates Management Promoting political support for Eco-Industrial Development

One of the pilot parks introducing eco-efficiency was the industrial estate Map Ta Phut. The majority of companies in this industrial estate are petrochemical manufacturers with various production facilities ranging from refineries to plastic, fertilizer and other chemical industries.

GTZ and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand successfully developed an Eco-Industrial Park concept and established an Eco-Industrial Network in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate.

Impacts GTZ advised IEAT in developing an adequate service structure for the introduction of eco-efficient production processes and the improvement of the overall environmental and economic performance to boost the attractiveness of the industrial estate. In Map Ta Phut, about 60 companies participated in the project. IEAT improved the collaboration of these firms in different areas like the use and re-use of raw materials, by-products and energy, common transport services, joint marketing and human resources management and one-stop community relations. Environmentally sound technologies were introduced and pollution as well as safety risks for factory employees and the public, especially in the vicinity of Map Ta Phut, were minimized. The development of a so-called Eco Forum increased the exchange of ideas between firms and led to the spread of eco-efficient technologies and management practices throughout the estate.
