6. Chemical Leasing
The RECP Programme is contributing to the SAICM objective of sound
management of chemicals by the year 2020. One of the services which facilitate the
g y y
achievement of this objective is: Chemical Leasing
•I
Innovative service-oriented business model
ti i i t db i d l
for the sound & efficient use of chemicals
→ value-added functional approach
• In 2004, UNIDO – with the support
of the Austrian Government – launched its
Global Chemical Leasing Programme
• Pilot projects in 7 countries
- Colombia, Egypt, Mexico, Morocco,
Russia, Serbia and Sri Lanka

UNIDO, Chemical Leasing
NCPCs suggests new forms of payments for chemicals
that direct the economic interests of all partners
towards process optimization and reduction of chemicals consumption
8. Chemical Leasing: Payment
Chemical producer User
Leasing
Provides mainly chemical
services
i
Payment not for the chemical itself, but for the benefits of the chemical
(e.g.
(e g not for tons of solvents used but for number of pieces cleaned!)
used,
... amount of produced chemicals will decline as chemicals volume turns from a factor for
earnings (“the more you sell the more you earn“) to a cost driver (“less is more“)
9. Chemical Leasing: Motivations

Contradictory motivations

12. International ChL Working Group (IWG)
Further develop and promote the ChL concept taking into account the needs of the
different stakeholders
diff k h ld
• International Chemical Associations
• EU-DG Environment
EU DG E i t
• Austrian, German and Swiss Government
• NCPCs/UNIDO
• Certification Bodies
• Large scale industry
• Academia
• Consultants
13. Challenges
g
Supplier and User Limitation
Trust and Credibility Issue
Liability issues
Implementation of model (design to monitoring) is complex
Ensure sustainability
Documentation of benefits and benefit shares
Limited expertise at global level
Lack of credible information especially economical information
Not sufficient data on the industrial processes qualified for
Chemical Leasing processes
Chemicals are a small percentage of overall operating costs
