RECP Demonstration project goal

Accelerating and expanding RECP implementation at both national and regional levels

Target industry for RECP implementation

RECP Project tasks

  • Identify, train and coach national experts in basic and advanced RECP methods and applications, as well as in supportive management/entrepreneurship topics
  • Raise awareness and improve the understanding of RECP opportunities and benefits at the national and regional levels among enterprises, government and civil society
  • Improve resource productivity and environmental performance through demonstrating RECP in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and other national organizations

RECP Centre's role

The Centre became the executor of the demonstration project in Ukraine and undertook all project activities, including running the RECP Clubs and training their facilitators, printing guides, methodologies, and analytical reference material on RECP introduction in Ukraine

Project Outcomes

In Ukraine, the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) Demonstration Component facilitated the resource productivity and environmental performance in Ukraine, focusing primarily on SMEs, whic represent represent 99.8% of total companies employing nearly 80% of the population. Despite the low share in national GDP (15%), SMEs are significant generators of wastes, air emissions and wastewater.

The project launched in total 4 RECP Clubs in Ukraine, namely in Kharkiv and Chernihiv oblasts, 2 Clubs per each oblast.
To support the activities of the RECP Clubs the training of facilitators  was carried out, and a set of educational and informational materials (in particular a video on YouTube) was developed.
In the framework of RECP Clubs activities, trainings on financing RECP measures were held. The representatives of local banks, state administrations, crowdfunding organizations and SMEs considered the possibility of overcoming limited access to financial resources as the main barrier to RECP wide implementation
