Abstrakt: |
Service-based business models in chemicals management of course existed in various areas before the term "Chemical Leasing" was coined. The merit of our — UNIDO and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW) — initiative is that we were able to document that this idea and approach can be successfully implemented within an astonishingly broad range of applications of chemical products and that there are several best practice examples showing how Chemical Leasing is really becoming a "win-win" story. In particular, we have observed the outstanding potential for economic and environmental improvements that can be achieved by the application of Chemical Leasing and Cleaner Production. Demonstration projects implemented in a number of different sectors in close cooperation with UNIDO's National Cleaner Production Centres have shown that this potential might even be higher in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. "To base chemical business transactions on units describing the performance of products is a promising option — also for small and medium-sized enterprises all over the globe" is another possible key message based on our findings.
