SMEP INTERVENTION AREAS
SMEP invests in research to further the evidence and understanding of the environmental and human impacts of pollution from manufacturing processes. The programme drives practical research outcomes such as:
- Strategies and action plans to enable the uptake of pollution-control technologies and remove barriers to pollution mitigation.
- Development of models to replicate or advance effective approaches to pollution control, including plastic pollution.
- Identification of technology-based solutions or new technologies that reduce the levels of pollution generated by manufacturing processes.
- Policy and regulatory models that can promote and facilitate the adoption of technology-based solutions, including toolkits for policymakers to inform
- decision-making and planning.
- Testing and piloting practical solutions.
SMEP’s research activities address proof of concept, the business model or the policy and regulatory models that can promote and facilitate the adoption of new technologies or technology-based solutions.
