Sustainable Industrial Zones in Israel - SwitchMed in Israel [Factsheet]

In Israel, the industrial areas, which include industrial plants, commercial centers and offices, by nature have many environmental impacts, such as air pollution, harm to open spaces, generation of waste and wastewater, energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gas. Monitoring and minimizing the environmental damage of these activities is currently achieved through regulatory tools, licenses and permits. These environmental damages can be further reduced, and efficiency and profitability can be increased by applying sustainable development and environmental management features across the entire industrial zone.
