Green Productivity (GP) concept

Green Productivity (GP) concept
GP is a strategy for enhancing productivity and environmental performance for overall socio-economic development. Productivity provides the framework for continues improvement (CI), while environmental protection provides the foundation for sustainable development (Saxena et al., 2003). GP concept is shown in the Figure 1. Productivity is the quantitative relationship between what is produced and the resources used to produce it. The productivity can be improved by doing more with the same resources through effective and efficient transformation of resources into desired outputs (Al-Darrab, 2000).
To enhance productivity:
. Output may be increased by advanced production technology.

. Input may be decreased by the waste minimization.
