Sustainable Production Programme in Setubal Region (PROSSET) : final results

ABSTRACT: Between 1997 and 1999, a Sustainable Production Programme was developed in the Portuguese Setubal region. In this paper its final results are presented. The programme included cleaner production (CP) demonstration projects developed in 10 companies located in the region and the involvement of local stakeholders, aiming at stimulating the diffusion and application of sustainable development principles in the region. The CP projects allowed the team to generate environmental, economic and social benefits for the companies, and also to achieve improvements in the quality of the regional environment. The role of stakeholders is discussed, in terms of subsequent actions taken by them.
