2) No cure, no pay - a new tool for promotion of energy management & cleaner production
This talk discussed a new tool that is thought to enable enterprises to test the introduction of cleaner production projects with no technical or financial risks or for the need of financing.
-> Presentation from Vladimir Dobeš, Enviros, Czech Republic
3) TESPI - Tool for Environmentally Sound Product Innovation
This presentation introduced TESPI, an on-line tool supporting environmentally conscious product design (eco-design), taking into account the product life cycle, the customers’ needs and the competitors’ products. During the presentation, eco-design will be briefly introduced and an overview of the main features of the tool will be presented.
-> Presentation from Sara Cortesi, ENEA, Italy
4) CPI2 tool
The Carbon Performance Improvement Initiative (CPI2) has created an online tool to reduce carbon emissions in factories. The tool focuses primarily on energy-efficiency measures as a contribution to climate protection in global supply chains.
-> Presentation from Christian Dietrich, Systain, Germany
5) Presentation of tools to support SMEs in improving their resource efficiency through Profitable Resource Efficient Management (PREMA).
The presentation consisted of an overview on tools, best practices and lessons learnt with regards to PREMA.

6) Hands-on experience: Effective tracks to SMEs for more efficiency
UPW is a team of engineers that consult SMEs to identify potentials for resource efficiency and innovation management among others in the frame of the “go efficient” support scheme of the German Agency for Material Efficiency (demea). Experiences from daily practice and channels to reach SMEs are presented and discussed.
