Cleaner Production in the mining

The control politics of the environmental contamination have substantially changed from the 80, toward new preventive tendencies that make the question. That we make with the residuals? What can we make for not generating residuals? On this position, the topic of clean production, it really indicates environmentally a production cleaner, to generate a more respectful final product with the environment, as a result of a process that incorporates in each one of the phases of the life cycle of products the best environmental practices. The national politics of cleaner production was approved in August of 1997 by the environmental national advice, it was formulated like an answer to the solution of the environmental problem of the productive sectors that looks for fundamentally to prevent the contamination in its origin, instead of treating her once generated, with significant results for the construction of the real possibilities of sustainability and competitiveness. Their implementation requires of the government like of the productive sectors, fundamentally, because the environmental problems have become very complex for its control, only through direct regulation, and because to reach the sustainable development of the productive activities implies to face the new challenges of the national and international competitiveness, considering that the environmental administration is a source of opportunities and not an obstacle. In the practice the application of the concept of cleaner production, so much in the current systems of production like in the products and services, it doesn't mean a substitution in strict sense for other different, but improving them continually, under the expert that the new technologies will be cleaner. Of here that production cleans it profiles as the goal that will be reached with the new investments, as long as the systematic search of the continuous improvement, corresponds to the concept of cleaner production that obeys a dynamic and systematic process, which is not applied once, but permanently, in each one of the phases of the cycle of life. In this context, the cleanest technology is only an integral, but partial element, inside the concept of cleaner production, since this includes other elements like the attitudes and practical managerial of continuous improvement of the environmental administration. In other words it is looked for to prevent and to minimize the impacts and risks efficiently to the human beings and the environment, guaranteeing the environmental protection, the economic growth, the social well-being and the managerial competitiveness, starting from introducing the environmental dimension in the productive sectors, as an it challenged of long term. Inside the limits related with mining the politics of cleaner production is contemplated that seeks to give a mark not directed toward the rational and sustainable exploitation of the natural resources renewable with the reinforcement and articulation of the tools and instruments of sectoral character. The cleanest production has been able to be internalized in the new Mines Code, that establishes the objective in its first article it contemplates that its use (of minerals) it is not carried out in form harmonica with the principles and norms of rational exploitation of the natural resources renewable and of the atmosphere, inside an integral concept of sustainable development and of the economic and social invigoration of the country. In the politics' s of cleaner production development it has occurred special impulse to the development of the environmental centers miner as a half appropriate of technological transfer that with investigation, development and diffusion of technical and technologies of clean production, mainly in the auriferous mining that they can enlarge their services to other minerals, they look for to diminish the technical and technological limitations that have made of the exploitation of the mineral resources, a line of low economic productivity and of high intervention of the renewable natural resources. Among other instruments promoted by the applicable politics of cleaner production in mining they are the strategic environmental evaluations, the regulation, the agreements of cleaner production, the miner-environmental guides, the recognition programs to the environmental excellence, the systems of environmental administration, the external auditors, the productive chains, demonstrative projects, the tributary incentives of exclusion of IVA and rent excuse for environmental investments, the technological transfer and the international cooperation as it is it the case of the successful Project Surata River, among others
