Evaluation of clean production in the fragrance industry: Case study On PT. mane Indonesia

In this era of globalization, an industry that survives and is competitive is an industry that is able to compete internationally. Indonesia is also famous for the potential of fragrance commodities from plants. Unfortunately, there has been no special and maximum attention, especially from the community. In the business world, many foreign products such as beauty and body care products use original Indonesian fragrances. However, due to the lack of understanding of the potential, the appreciation of fragrances by the public is lacking. In fact, it is very unique when it raises an element or art that is not always visual. Since the industry generates quite a lot of waste that can potentially harm the environment, implementing Cleaner Production in the fragrance industry can reduce negative environmental impacts and increase operational cost efficiency. This study aims to identify factors that cause inefficiencies in the use of water, electricity, and chemicals, then evaluate opportunities to improve efficiency and the magnitude of value in relation to the implementation of cleaner production and the effectiveness of company policies towards the environment. This research is analytical descriptive research. After conducting a SWOT analysis, a gap analysis between current and ideal conditions was conducted to identify inefficiencies. Evaluation of efficiency improvement opportunities with strategic and economic evaluation. The opportunity value of clean water use efficiency is 4,752,000 L/year, equivalent to IDR 58,687,200.00 per year. Savings in electricity use amounted to 55440 kWh per year or equivalent to IDR 86,153,760.00 per year. Savings in chemical usage amounted to Rp 76,032,000.00 per year. Water inefficiency is reduced by improving consumption patterns and implementing water reuse. Electricity inefficiency is reduced by adjusting the unit's processing capacity to the incoming waste load, while chemical inefficiency is reduced by system improvements and optimization of operating processes that make company policies quite effective. Management commitment in the process of implementing environmentally friendly business policies is the main key to the effectiveness of company policies.
