Cleaner production have different names in different stages of development or in different countries, such as waste minimization, non-waste technology, pollution prevention and so on. Cleaner production refers to that the comprehensive prevention strategies for environmental protection are continuously applied to the production process and products in order to reduce the risk to human and the environment. Cleaner production in essence is a mode of production, which takes the overall preventive environmental strategy to processes and products and reduce or eliminate the harm they may bring to human and environment, while fully satisfy human needs to maximize socioeconomic benefits. In 1994, the Chinese government list cleaner production as one of the key projects in the Chinese 21st Century Agenda. In 2002 formulated the Cleaner Production Promotion Law, and revised the law in February 29, 2012. In addition, local governments also formulate local cleaner production promotion ordinance in turn according to the provisions of Cleaner Production Promotion Law. So far, China has formed a relatively complete cleaner production -related legal system, but cleaner production in some areas still need to be further improved and standardized.
