The Role of Legume Crops in Improving the Ecological State of the Soil

In this article is considered the role of legumes in improving the ecological state of the soil and the problem of developing energy-efficient, inexpensive, biologically and environmentally clean production technologies for crop production. The use of valuable chemical fertilizers and pesticides in order to obtain high yields from crops increases the pollution of the environment, ie soil, air and groundwater, the products contain nitrates, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, residues harmful to human health.

POTENSI PENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI BERSIH DAN MINIMASI LIMBAH PADA INDUSTRI KOPI PURNAMA

The application of clean production to the Purnama Coffee industry can reduce the negative impact on the environment. This study aims to analyze the coffee industry and consider the potential for implementing clean production by the industry. This research was conducted using the Field Research method (field research). The data collected is then processed into data used for the application of clean production. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of clean production can minimize the impact on the environment. The benefit of clean production for the environment is a reduction in solid waste in the industry. This step in implementing clean production will reduce the impact on the environment towards a more environmentally friendly coffee industry. Keywords: clean production, coffee waste, industry coffee Abstrak Penerapan produksi bersih pada industri Kopi Purnama dapat mengurangi dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis pada industri kopi serta menganalisis potensi penerapan produksi bersih yang sesuai dengan industri tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode Field Research (penelitian lapangan). Data-data tersebut dikumpulkan kemudian dianalisis untuk dijadikan potensi penerapan produksi bersih. Hal-hal yang bisa dilakukan dalam penerapan produksi bersih pada industri kopi purnama, antara lain : pembuatan pupuk bokashi dari sekam kulit kopi, sehingga diharapkan ada pengurangan timbulan limbah padat di industri tersebut, sehingga menjadi industri kopi yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

Investment Trends for Iraqi Industries in Terms of Clean Production (selected model)

Industrial Investment according to Clean Productive methods is an important element in the process of rational use of Economic Resources, and the Iraqi industrial sector relied on traditional production methods; the productive activities in this sector did not take into consideration the environmental dimension, which leads to achieving the optimal use of economic resources, so it was necessary to have new investment trends heading with Clean Production. Therefore, the research is based on the hypothesis that "Clean Production contributes to improving the environment and rational use of Natural Resources." Based on the descriptive - inductive analysis methodology that study of Iraqi industries with Clean Production, and by seeking to collect the largest number of data and information related to these industries in order to obtain results and test the research hypothesis. The research concluded that despite the orientation of some Industries in Iraq towards Clean Production, they do not seek to achieve Sustainability in economic resources. For this, the researchers concluded that it is necessary to work seriously in harnessing technology, applied and technical sciences to direct Industrial Investment in Iraq towards Clean Products, by finding industrial alternatives that involve Cleaner Production and compensating for the inputs with Environmental damage.

Reviewing Batik with Natural Coloring based on the Clean Production Theory with an Ecofeminist Perspective (Case Study: Putri Kawung Batik Community in Klaten)

Mass and rapid production of batik using synthetic color and printing techniques engenders environmental problems such as waste production, air pollution, water pollution, unhealthy and hazardous work environment, and a threat to the sustainability of hand-drawn batik. Clean production is one solution to this problem. This paper discusses the practice of batik with natural coloring based on the theory of clean production with an ecofeminist perspective. The method employed in this research is a case study with a one-unit production (cluster) approach of Putri Kawung batik community. The findings show that the practice of clean batik production in Putri Kawung batik community still focuses on the input and process of using natural coloring, material selection, and reuse of wax materials. This shows that the role of women through community gradually practices clean production, even though it has not yet extended to its output processing.

Does air pollution affect clean production of sustainable environmental agenda through low carbon energy financing? evidence from ASEAN countries

This study describes different options regarding financing in low carbon energy sectors and air pollution, which further affect clean production and sustainable environment agenda regarding the Association of southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) states. The purpose of this study is to reduce air pollution and improve environmental production through low carbon energy financing. This study further investigates, which particular country among selected ASEAN states has most affected by air pollution and decrease their energy sources as well as clean productivity level. The findings of this study indicate that transformation toward low carbon energy increased energy efficiency encouraged by all sectors of society in the target countries. It is observed that around 20,000 people have died in South East Asia (SEA) every year due to the polluted air environment among these countries.
