The Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change reported in its 6 October 2026 announcement that the GP3I initiative was introduced at the International “Producing Without Pollution Is Possible” Conference, hosted by Istanbul Technical University. The initiative is being developed under the Green Industrialisation theme of the COP31 Action Agenda.

Goal: measurable and comparable performance

GP3I aims to assess data on energy consumption, emissions, water and resource use, and waste generation through a common methodology. The conference also addressed Best Available Techniques, cleaner production, digitalisation and green finance.

An industry note for plant operators

Production capacity alone is not enough when optimising a process. Tracking water and energy consumption, material losses and waste streams helps identify opportunities for improvement. Considering equipment and automation decisions alongside measured data also makes it easier to compare investment options.
