The use of Cleaner Production in the food sector will advance the environmental performance of the food industry and at the same time can result in significant economic savings to the sector. A concise explanation of the theory of Cleaner Production/eco-efficiency and the integration of a life cycle approach is presented which is then followed by some examples of where Cleaner Production uptake has resulted in such synergistic benefits. A brief overview of a novel project that seeks to implement the lessons learned from previous Cleaner Production work is given.
