Global Environmental Outlook (UNEP 1997)
  • While many may attribute the current
    degradation of the worlds resources to poverty
    and burgeoning population growth, the inefficient
    use of resources, high levels of consumption,
    waste generation, and industrial pollution are
    equally to blame.

Industrial Ecology Framework
5
Some Operational Definitions
  • Sustainable development is development that
    meets the needs of the present without
    compromising the ability of future generations to
    meet their own needs. (Brandland Commission, UN)
  • Industrial ecology is a systems approach to
    efficient resource use and protection of the
    environment, with focus not only on devising
    improved methods of waste treatment and disposal
    but also on the best opportunities to reduce
    waste throughout the total material cycle from
    virgin materials to finished products to end of
    product life. (US environmental Protection
    Agency, 2000)

6
Some Operational Definitions
  • Eco-industrial development -- is industrial
    ecology in practice, based on the pursuit of the
    three Es of sustainable development economy,
    environment, and equity. It seeks to develop
    symbiotic networks among and between businesses,
    community and the public sector. (M. Schlarb,
    Work and Environment Initiative, Cornell U)
  • Eco-industrial parks (EIP) a community of
    business that cooperate with each other and with
    the local community to efficiently share
    resources (information, materials, water, energy,
    infrastructure and natural habitat), leading to
    economic gains, gains in environmental quality,
    and equitable enhancement of human resources for
    the business and local community. (Presidents
    Council on Sustainable Development, USA, 1996)

7
Some Operational Definitions
  • By-product exchange (BPX) a set of companies
    seeking to utilize each others by-products
    (energy, water, and materials) rather than
    disposing them as waste (Lowe, 2000)
  • Eco-industrial network (EIN)- a set of companies
    collaborating to improve their environmental ,
    social, and economic performance in a region.
    (Lowe, 2000)

Eco-Industrial Network

Classification of Eco-Industrial Activities
(Research Triangle Institute)
  • Mixed-use developments involving industrial,
    commercial and
  • residential activity
  • A site with environmentally-friendly
    infrastructure, construction,
  • or design
  • An industrial park designed around a single
    environmental
  • theme, e.g. solar energy
  • A collection of companies involved in green
    manufacturing and
  • production
  • A collection of environmental technology
    companies
  • A recycling business cluster containing firms
    involved in
  • resource recovery and remanufacturing of waste
    materials
  • A single by-product exchange pattern or network
    of exchanges.

10
Classification of Ecosites (Research Triangle
Institute)
  • Sites designed around an environmental theme
    (e.g. green
  • infrastructure/construction)
  • A collection of environmental technology
    companies
  • A Collection of companies involved in green
    manufacturing
  • and production
  • Sites engaged in resource recovery (e.g. waste
    recycling
  • clusters) waste materials
  • Sites engaged in material exchanges
    (Eco-industrial parks).

Academic Initiatives Linkages
Projects of most SUCs are more of the
environmental-themed activities with some limited
connected and collaboration with government and
the community.

MSU-IIT EID Initiatives
  • Bamboocraft Technology Resource
  • Center
  • Nature Farming
  • Solid Waste Management Program

17
MSU-IIT Bamboocraft Center
  • Aims to integrate major concerns on the
    utilization of bamboo from research and
    development, propagation, technology transfer,
    production and commercialization.
  • R D supported by the Iligan City Government
  • Propagation supported by Iligan City DENR
  • Production commercialization with loan from
    DOST Congressional support (CDF)
  • Common service facility
  • Technology Transfer

MSU-IIT Nature Farming Program
Based on the Korean Kyusue Nature Farming
System Encompasses animal husbandry and crop
cultivation Technology already tested by NCCC
Farms in Calinan, Davao City
25
MSU-IITs Nature Farming
  • Role of Dept of Chem.Engg Tech-
  • --Technology Transfer
  • -- Development of formulations
  • -- Demonstration facility
  • -- Continuing research (e.g., use of corn
    bran
  • instead of rice bran)

MSU-IITs Solid Waste Mgt Program New Planned
Features
  • A material recovery facility will be established
    where segregated wastes are put on stock.
  • Tie-up with a religious congregation for the sale
    of recyclables.
  • Incorporation of a paper shredding facility to
    handle the paper wastes of he Institute.
  • Network with the religious congregation who will
    operate a paper recycling facility, with training
    to be provided by the Institute.
  • Linking with the Department of Chemical
    Technology for the operation of a composting
    facility that suits Nature Farming.
  • Link with the farmers for the sale and use of
    natural fertilizer, with assistance from the
    congregation for the continuous monitoring and
    motivation of farmer users.

Lessons Learned Experiences
  • On Capacity Building
  • On Micro-financing Needs
  • On Policy Advocacy
  • On Academes Role

30
Some Recommendations
  • Involve all the stakeholders in any
    multi-sectoral economic activity to ensure a
    common understanding of expected business results
    and environmental gains. Involvement will start
    during the planning process, continue until the
    program implementation and evaluation.
  • Develop project proposals that will interlink
    different agencies in the promotion of
    eco-industrial activities. Some agencies like
    DENR, DA, Haribon Foundation and the LGUs are
    more than willing to help in this effort
    considering that environment is their key
    concern. What they are waiting for are concrete,
    doable projects that they can identify with.
  • The academe should be a constant initiator in
    the preparation of project feasibility studies
    for potential eco-industrial activities, given
    the perceived local and international markets for
    selected products.

31
Some Recommendations
  • Encourage an early development of entrepreneurial
    spirit among the college students while they are
    still in their junior or earlier years. The
    effort of Union Cement Corporation, which is
    focused on introducing these students to a
    week-long business management game (a
    computer-assisted course in basic business
    economics and management) is worth replicating in
    the future. The course, to be conducted by
    volunteer-managers, is free for selected
    students.
  • Involve the business chamber of the locality for
    an effective implementation of a collaborative
    effort along enterprise formation. Availment of
    the Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBE)
    incentives is facilitated by the business
    chambers.
