Abstract

Manufacturing industry is generally reported as one of most the influential sector in contributing to uncontrolled greenhouse gas emission annually. As consequences, global warming, climate change and effects to human health are what must be taken seriously by any appropriate means such as green technology adaptations, cleaner production and strengthening current regulations and acts. Nowadays, as manufacturing industry striving to achieve their profit goal, most of them seems facing various circumstances to control the rising of carbon emissions, energy and raw material consumption and waste generations due to production activities. This research concentrates on evaluation on energy consumptions and waste generations by a coconut milk processing industry by using statistical approach. Aiming to estimate the trend of greenhouse gas emissions mainly Carbon Dioxide (CO2), baseline models of energy consumptions and waste generations are constructed by using single and multiple linear regression methods. The performance of ultimate models of electrical consumption, water consumption, fuel consumption, solid waste generation and wastewater generations are investigated by a statistical analysis which involve coefficient of correlation, coefficient of determination, analysis of variance (ANOVA) etc. Hence, end of analysis reveals that in 2018, 10,474.94 tons CO2 have successfully been reduced and the achievement continues in 2019 where 2,579.67 tons CO2 have been reduced. This study is an aid for the management and engineers of the industry to investigate their accomplishment in reducing environmental impacts by production activities from any implementation made such as cleaner production (CP) and industry green practices
