Life Cycle Management Case Study Savings achieved through Life Cycle Thinking Metal Finishing Waste Minimisation Club • • Established 1998 in the Zwa. Zulu-Natal area, South Africa 29 members: more than 50% with less than 50 employees Mainly initiated as a result of stringent new legislation Funding from the Water Research Commission, facilitation from University of Natal, consultants funded by EC’s THERMIE programme Objective: Working together to exchange ideas and information on waste minimisation so as to improve process efficiency, save money and reduce environmental impacts Source: UNEP, First Africa Roundtable on CP and sustainable consumption Life Cycle Management Navigator: 3_PR_LCM 11 CSCP, UNEP, WBCSD, WI, In.

Life Cycle Management Savings achieved in an SME through Life Cycle Thinking Case Study Metal Finishing Waste Minimisation Club Benefits: Combined savings of 1. 9 million Rand/year (Information obtained from 15 of the 29 club members) Most savings resulted from no- or low-cost measures: • fixing leaks and closing off unnecessary taps • controlling chemical addition (1 278 000 Rand /year) • monitoring water use and flows • reusing of rinse water and other baths • training staff • Increased awareness of the process requirements • Improved monitoring of all utilities • Greater management presence on the shop-floor Source: UNEP, First Africa Roundtable on CP and sustainable consumption Life Cycle Management Navigator: 3_PR_LCM 12 CSCP, UNEP, WBCSD, WI, In.

Life Cycle Management Benefits for SMEs located within supply chains Example Inversiones Mineras del Sur S. A. (INMINSUR), Peru • Extracts gold from mine • Together with 10 suppliers: 1, 200 Employees What has INMINSUR done? INMINSUR got ISO 14001 certified. What have SMEs done? All 10 suppliers implemented own environmental management system. What has been achieved together with the SMEs? • Less use of explosives, water, fuel • Less construction waste • No toxics in exploration stage • Controlled disposal of sludge • Fewer accidents in mine site Source: UNEP, 2007, Life Cycle Management Navigator: 3_PR_LCM 13 CSCP, UNEP, WBCSD, WI, In.
