MEDINA JIMENEZ, Armando    MEDELLIN MILAN, Pedro. The Mexican Smelting Sector's Experience Of Adopting Cleaner Production. []. , 16, 28, pp.173-186. ISSN 0121-5051.

The culture of environmental awareness arising from knowledge cleaner production is a factor favouring innovation and change in small-and-medium-sized foundries. Entrepreneurs represent the leaders who are promoting such environmental management system's action for improving environmental relationships. The present research collected evidence from a demonstrative project organised by the Centro Mexicano para la Producción más Limpia for 7 foundries during 1997 in the city of San Luis Potosí, México. Demonstrative projects represent a channel for broadcasting P+C at the beginning; however, both these and CMP+C performance have been insufficient for promoting general implementation of P+C.
