Abstract : Cleaner Production (CP) strategies are basically concerned with environmental sustainability, maximization of waste reduction, recycling, and reuse. This research has the purpose to identify the use of resources and sources of pollution in a cleaning equipments manufacturing and testing factory. The principles of clean technology are applied at the same factory for reducing air pollution and waste water standardization. The research focuses on the effect of Clean Technology (CT) implementation on different causes of air pollution and wastewater. The main application of clean technology is to minimize air pollution in the welding area (production area), and to develop a better system for wastewater treatment. Installation of local exhaust ventilation with a proper design can prevent the emission of welding fumes to the atmosphere and implementation of a treatment plant will help for the reuse of water. Both can give the company a better environment friendly and working atmosphere. A case study is carried out in a cleaning equipment manufacturing company. © Research India Publications.
