WISIONS is an initiative of the German Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy on behalf of the Swiss Foundation ProEvolution. One of their "action fields" is called PREP, the Promotion of Resource Efficiency Projects. As the name implies, PREP supports good practices in energy and resource efficiency worldwide by uncovering and disseminating information about them. Earlier this year, they issued a call for submissions of good practice examples of 'Corporate Energy and Material Efficiency' Yesterday, however, they announced that they are extending the deadline for submissions from June 28 to July 28th, 2006 due to "the holiday season." This is good news for those who might either have missed the initial call, or were unable to respond due to the er...understandable distractions of the FIFA world cup (so to speak). The fields of interest include:
- Corporate projects that focus on both energy and material efficiency.
- Recycling of materials with corresponding higher energy efficiency rates.
- Development of new products with reduced energy need in the production cycle.
- Eco-industrial parks.
Five projects will be selected and showcased in WISIONS brochures for distribution to a large audience of political decision-makers, scientists and activists.
How to participate:
- Send a brief description of a successfully implemented corporate project on energy and material efficiency to: [email protected].
- WISIONS gives you feedback of the project’s qualification for application.
- In case of positive response, fill in the application form and send it back to WISIONS.
- Your project will be published in a PREP brochure and/or on the WISIONS homepage.
All PREP brochures will be available in hardcopy and online. They will be distributed among networks, politicians, scientists and other relevant multipliers. For more information, visit: http://www.wisions.net/pages/PREP.htm.
