About CLEMANCE
Industry and the public sector are under increasing legislative and public pressure to improve environmental performance. The Clean Environment Management Centre – CLEMANCE - challenges the idea that environmental protection is a financial burden on industry by providing clean technology solutions to environmental problems.
Business support
The Clean Technology approach avoids pollution before it occurs. Many companies have discovered it can provide significant competitive advantage through reduced costs, product differentiation and improved public relations. We aim to support the development of Clean Technology to improve the competitiveness of industry and benefit people and their environment.
Research
CLEMANCE is the environmental research centre for Teesside University. Research projects have included Mapping Industrial Symbiosis in North East England. We have a dedicated molecular biology research laboratory equipped for bioremediation trials, isolation, identification and cultivation of microorganisms and bioreactor facilities. And a range of environmental geochemistry facilities for the study of soils, waters and plant waste materials.
