Thisdatabase is structured by processes, waste flows andtype of technology.At present, the technologies database has more than250 entrances with information about the textile,paper, metallurgy, tanning and surface treatmentsectors and every year new sectors are added.The RAC/CP has drawn up a database of Mediterraneanexperts with a list of more than 150 experts andprofessionals in the region who specialise in pollutionprevention, listing their areas of experience andknowledge as well as their contact information.
“Pollution preventionin the UniversityCurricula” ModuleThe universities educate technicians who in the future,as professionals in industries and institutions, will havea definitive influence on company and social behaviour.The universities have, therefore, the responsibility tocreate awareness in their students, providing themwith the necessary knowledge and training them inthe practice of management tools, which after all, canmake sustainable development possible.The RAC/CP has developed a specific product for theuniversity world; the “Pollution Prevention in theUniversity Curricula” module. This module offersstudents the principles and methodology of pollutionprevention and cleaner production.The module can be used for self-information or witha teacher as a tutor to direct the students’ learning.Each chapter contains a theoretical part with thecorresponding table of contents and a practical partwhich includes a series of exercises destined to makestudents stop and think. Most of the chapters arecompleted with a proposal of activities to help thestudent pass on to the action.RAC/CP Annual TechnicalPublicationA magazine that brings together scientific andtechnical contributions related to pollution preventionand ecoefficiency, paying special attention to the“Mediterranean” characteristic of its content. This isperhaps what differentiates it from other magazineson the international circuit.The magazine has been designed as a vehicle fortransmitting knowledge among the Mediterraneanscientific community, technicians and staff in thepublic administrations who work on a daily basis withthe company sectors and the effective reduction ofpollution.It is a work that aims to offer the Mediterranean countriestools and knowledge adapted to the idiosyncrasy, thegeography, the climate, the customs and the needs ofthe technicians in the region, enabling them to advanceon the way to sustainability.
