Penerapan Produksi Bersih Industri Tapioka untuk Mengurangi Pencemaran Lingkungan

Abstract

Tapioca industry is one of the agroindustries thatcan be found in many places in Indonesia. The activity of tapioca industry usually creates environmental pollution, due to its solid, liquid and gas wastes. Therefore, it is important to treat the pollution through techniques of cleaner production as an integrated and preventive environmental management strategy to prohibit and reduce wastes in industrial process. In Tapioca Industries located in Bogor, variabels of experience in production, area of production, total labour, job experience of labor and liquid waste volume are statistically significant difference. The largest production of liquid waste was about 96 percent, meanwhile almost 100 percent of it was thrown away to the river. Almost all of the tapioca industries in Bogor are small scale industries and have not implemented the cleaner production practices yet. Results of the survey showed that careless in discharging process of solid and liquid wastes and the absent of waste treatment caused pollution.
