ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR PROMOTING CLEANER PRODUCTION: QUALITATIVE PROCESS ANALYSIS IN CEMENT PLANTSAULIA ULFAH FARAHDIBA, ANIS ZUSRIN QONITA, ZIZKA LAYLY RAMADHANTI, FENI EKA JULIANI, AUSSIE AMALIA AND ADITYA PRANA ISWARAAbstract The concept of cleaner production is known as a technological preventative process. The process of cleaner production analyzes every process, every information that is relevant, as well as every procedure and decision that are taken based on other processes. This concept has been proposed by the Indonesian government in every strategic industry, including the cement industry. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) applications in Indonesia is believed to be able to enhance promoting a cleaner production. This study analyzes specific qualitative data on the cement industry as an initial illustration in the implementation of EIA to support the achievement of environmentally friendly industries. Regarded as some of the most essential environmental protection processes, EIA and Cleaner Production ought to be optimally strengthened. One of the assessments in EIA can be used with life cycle analysis (LCA). LCA focuses on the environmental facets and possible effects on the environment, such as the utilization of resources and the outcome of releases on the environment. It is carried out in every part of the life cycle of products, starting from the process to acquire the raw material, production, utilization, end-of-life treatment, recycling, to final disposal. |
