In August 2013, the Ministry of Trade and Industries (MICI)
of Panama
requested that the country be able to participate in the Closed Looped Cycle
Production in the Americas (CLCPA) program. Along with the country’s
participation in the program the MICI asked that the Organization of American
States (OAS) supports the Industrial Union of Panama (SIP) in order to develop a
Panama Green Label (Sello Panamá Verde).
The Panama Green Label initiative is led primarily by the
SIP, along with the National Counsel for the Private Company (CONEP) with the
objective to incentive those companies that continually show good practices in
terms of energy efficiency, solid waste management and water management.
The SIP, along with MICI, the National Environmental
Authority (ANAM) and CONEP also requested technical assistance from the
Department of Sustainable Development of the OAS (DSD/OAS) to include the
parameters and principles of Closed Looped Cycle Production as an integral part
of the Green Panama Label framework. CLCP will not only focus on improving
energy efficiency, but will also rationalize the effective use of primary
materials and resources, gradually eliminate the concept of waste, reduce and/or
eliminate greenhouse gases, achieve sustainable water management, and
incentivize social responsibility, with a fundamental emphasis on products’
sustainable design.
Project Description
After completing two official missions to the country, the OAS identified the
areas of collaboration and technical assistance that it will provide to the SIP
and other actors involved in the development of the project in Panama. This
proposal involves the following phases:
Phase I:
Preparation and identification of needs
Phase II: Education on CLCP and Cradle to
Cradle® (C2C);
Phase III:
Pilot project
Phase IV: Creation of the framework of the
Panama Green Label
September 16, 2014: The first awareness raising
seminar on CLCP to be held in Panama
