In support of effective eco-industrial
estate development, IEAT and GTZ, under the Development
of Eco-Industrial Estate and Networks Project, have
established five working groups with responsibility
for policy and strategic partnership, capacity building,
pilot projects, new eco-industrial estates. A benchmark
system, an Eco-Industrial Development (EID) Resource
Center and web site are also provided.
Pilot projects/estates
Integration is the major approach used in eco-industrial
estate development. Tripartite participation by the
private and public sectors and the local community is
encouraged. Using this approach, five of the 29 existing
industrial estates have been selected as pilot project
sites. Each demonstrates a different aspect of eco-industrial
estate development and is implementing at least one
important Eco-Industrial Support System (EISS).

Rubber City
The Rubber City Eco-Industrial Estate (also known as Rubber
City) is to be developed during 2003-2005, occupying 1,115
rati in Phase II of the Southern Region Industrial Estate,
Chalung Sub-district, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province.
The Robber City, Thailand's first eco-industrial estate,
will adhere to the principles of zero waste, waste to
resource, energy and resource conservation, and participation
of local communities nearby, as early as during the feasibility
study and design phases. This industrial estate is expected
to be the prototype for other eco-industrial estates in
Thailand. It will use infrastructure the supports water
conservation, water and wastewater reuse, and closed-loop
wastewater treatment. In addition it will promote the
conservation of existing wetlands within the estate and
will use locally available natural materials as fuel.
Eco-Industrial Development (EID) Resource Center
The EID Resource Center is situated on the 6th Floor of
the Office of the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand,
Makkasan Road, Bangkok. The Center collects information
on eco-industrial development and the project, Development
of Eco-Industrial Estate and Networks (DEE+Net). The information
is disseminated in various forms, including books, articles,
brochures, CD-ROMs, diskettes, manuals, reports and periodicals.
A computerized program is available as a search tool.
www.ecobizthai.net
This web site is designed to support all components and
activities of the project. The menu on the main page includes
eco-industry projects, activities, progress to-date, services,
trading networks, questions and answers and a web board.
The Eco-efficiency for Industry Programme is supported
by GTZ. An important part is the Development of Eco-Industrial
Estates + networks (DEE+Net) Project. DEE+Net will have
its own INTRANET for all stakeholders and project participants,
enabling them to communicate effectively and collaborate
in the project's implementation. It will be a tool for
all parties who would like to support the project.
Even with a facilitation made by
IEAT and GTZ, the support and cooperation of stakeholders,
the principle owners of the strategy for eco-industrial
estate development, are crucial to improving the quality
of life of communities in addition to enhancing environmental
quality and business success. |
