Title:	Implementation of cleaner production (CP) methods and BAT into Polish metal finishing enterprises
Involved countries:	Poland
Short project description:	Total number of Polish plating shops, industrial painting enterprises and similar industrial plants of different size is estimated to about 1000. They discharge into natural surface waters many tons of heavy metals like toxic chromium, nickel, zinc and copper, some cyanides, harmful mineral acides and theirs salts, oils and other organic substances with high emission to the atmosphere of volatile toxic compounds. The main Polish rivers, which flow into Baltic Sea, collect a great part of pollutants generated by industry. Wide implementation of CP methods and BATinto Polish metal finishing enterprises can substantially reduce or even minimize the load of high toxic substances discharged into Baltic Sea and save water, material and energy. The project is addressed to the industry, in particular to SME’s which work in anticorrosion protection sector by protective coatings application (electroplating, painting, hot-dip galvanizing, thermal spraying, PVD/CVD and related coatings). Lack of practical CP methods and good understanding of CP principles is observed in many Polish enterprises. The project aim is to improve the existing situation and promote introduction of more sustainable technology (replacement of hazardous chemicals, trough application of alternative technological processes free of toxic compounds) in Poland. The activities: -identify nearly all enterprises which needs improvement (CP, BAT) and recognise their resources and waste management - prove of convenience of Ecopartners project data base and network for transfer of knowledge - identify cooperation ideas - education and preparing the SME’s for transfer of technology - implementation of CP methods at selected industrial SME’s - dissemination of results via technical conferences, seminars, workshops and consulting
Request for partners:	All of the companies in the Business group would like to improve and to expand theirs technology are welcome to take part in the project. Any help from a Swedish industrial institute would be very appreciated.
