This article covers the results of a research project concerning the phenomenological model of Cleaner Production (CP). The model presents trends, calculated as a function of time, that describe changes in environmental impacts per unit of production. The elaborated procedure of the model was verified with numeric data collected from Polish companies participating in the
Polish Cleaner Production Programme
. The model was verified for all companies participating in the programme (CP Companies) from the research group (the so called Overall Industry Model) and the Polish energy sector (exemplary Branch Model). The model can be used for benchmarking and formulating co’ measurable environmental goals. Environmental performance of these CP Companies was also compared to analogous results achieved by the Polish industry (based on data published by the
Central Statistical Office of Poland
). The results showed that CP Companies reduced their negative environmental impacts quicker than Polish industry in general. This work was funded as a research project by the
Polish Ministry of Science and Information Society Technologies
in 2003–2005.
