National Cleaner Production Centre Of South Africa

The National Cleaner Production Centre of South Africa (NCPC-SA) is a government-backed organisation that promotes resource efficiency and cleaner production practices within South African industry. It operates under the auspices of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition and is hosted by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). Its mandate includes supporting industrial decarbonisation, energy and water efficiency, and the adoption of cleaner technologies across manufacturing sectors. The centre provides technical assistance, training and skills development programmes aimed at helping companies reduce waste and improve competitiveness through sustainable practices. It works in partnership with international bodies such as the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation on green industrialisation initiatives. NCPC-SA engagement extends to areas such as green hydrogen, battery energy storage and renewable energy integration linked to South Africa's broader energy transition goals. The centre contributes to national programmes supporting job creation and industrial policy objectives tied to special economic zones. It was established as part of South Africa's response to global calls for resource-efficient and cleaner industrial production.
