WHAT IS SCP?

• Sustainable Consumption means to consume more
  efficiently and differently
• Life Cycle thinking at the centre of attention
• Sustainable Consumption for improved quality of
  life.
• Sustainable Production is defined as the creation
  of goods and services using processes and systems
  that are non-polluting conserving of energy and
  natural resources economically viable safe and
  healthful for employees, communities,
  and consumers and socially
  and creatively rewarding for
  all working people.(Source

• Sustainable Consumption and Production
• IS an ISSUE
• Options for the future
• 1) We find 4 more planets to support the current
  
• consumption patterns for the whole world OR
• 2) We consume 4 to 10 times more efficiently!
  
• We are free to choose

Shift to SCP in the Asia Pacific Region

• despite significant achievements, it has become
  increasingly evident that the environmental gains
  achieved on the supply side by CP programmes are
  being offset by consumer trends on the demand
  side
• It is therefore necessary to rethink how the
  benefits gained through CP can be enhanced.
  Moreover, it is clear that we need to work on the
  demand side as well, looking at effective
  mechanisms to re-orient consumption, shifting it
  towards Sustainable Consumption. Not only that,
  the "rebound effect' is a clear signal of the
  need to work on the consumption patterns.

• At the World Summit on Sustainable Development
  (WSSD) in Johannesburg 2002 the links between
  consumption and production were highlighted as a
  key issue to address for Sustainable Development
  (SD)

Challenge to undertake SCP

• SCP requires an effort to create a
  strategic-level coordination mechanisms in which
  issues and challenges related to both consumption
  and production can be addressed in a more
  holistic manner
• Moving towards SCP is therefore not a question of
  replacing CP or other related concepts, but
  rather a matter of coordination in the
  application of existing tools and concepts to
  promote improvements in production- and
  consumption efficiency

• They include a range of different methodologies,
  tools, initiatives, training packages and
  programmes such as
• Life Cycle Analysis
• Cleaner Production
• Product-Service Systems
• Eco-design
• Sustainable Procurement
• UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection,
  Advertising for Sustainable Consumption, and
  Education and Awareness Raising activities.

SCP Situation at the Present in the Asia Pacific
Region

• A. Cleaner / Sustainable Production
• - CP must be adopted by SMEs
• SMEs in Asia Pacific constitute more than
  80 of companies
• It represents the backbone of the present
  industrial infrastructure in Asia-Pacific..
• - CP must address New Industrialisation
• It is estimated that by 2020, 70-80 of the
  worlds industrial manufacturing will take place
  within this region putting an additional pressure
  on the environment and existing infrastructure.

SCP Situation at the Present in the Asia Pacific
Region

• B. Sustainable Consumption
• The most significant trend in the region is
  perhaps the rapidly growing middle-income class
  that is striving to adopt the affluent
  consumption patterns of wealthier people

What is Biodiesel?
Biodiesel, an ester made from biofuels or animal
oil, is clean, environmentally friendly, burns
completely and emits less pollutant than
diesel oil when used in diesel engines.
OLIVIA CASTILLO, 2005

What is Biodiesel?

• Biodiesel refers to the fuel that comes in the
  form of esters resulting from the chemical
  reaction between biofuels or animal oil with
  methanol or ethanol. This chemical reaction is
  called transesterification

OLIVIA CASTILLO, 2005

TRANSESTERIFICATION
Production of biodiesel through the reaction of
biofuels/animal oil with methanol or ethanol,
yielding methyl or ethyl ester or biodiesel
with glycerol as the by-product.
