The availability of cleaner production processes A case study in the new Badoush Cement Factory

Abstract

Industrial companies face challenges in taking care of environmental issues. They must confront these challenges by applying modern concepts and technologies, including cleaner production processes. From this standpoint, the current research aims to identify the extent of the availability of cleaner production processes in the new Badoush Cement Factory, which is one of the cement factories. The Iraqi mission is an attempt to find solutions to overcome the environmental challenges that industrial companies face today, including wasting resources, generating waste, and harmful emissions to the environment and society. Hence, the research problem focused on many questions, most notably: Are cleaner production processes available in the researched laboratory? For the purpose of answering these questions, a hypothetical research plan was formulated and tested statistically, relying on the questionnaire form as the main tool for collecting data from the research field, and it was analyzed using the ready-made software (SPSS Ver 18). As for the research sample, which numbered (30) researched individuals, it was represented by the officials of the main departments and divisions. In the laboratory, the research reached a set of results, the most important of which is that there is a weakness in the availability of cleaner production processes from the point of view of the managers of the researched laboratory.
