Abstract

This research work was done to study an existing industrial area in South Africa with the view to initiate work to develop it into an eco-industrial park. The scope of this work was to establish the current resource efficiency practices, challenges and opportunities as well as support and interest by operators in eco-industrial park development. The survey sought to also identify the need for capacity building in form of training interventions and government/municipal infrastructure facilitation. The resource efficiency and cleaner production (RECP) assessment of Alrode Industrial area was carried out in conjunction with National Cleaner Production Center (NCPC) in South Africa, hence prospects of implementing eco-parks across the country were explored.
