This paper examines how to design the sustainable production line in the factories with minimum environmental impacts and maximum social benefits. For modeling, the literature review is carried out first and according to researches and papers, environmental and social factors are extracted and then with using Sustainable Supply Chain Management structure, Integer Linear programming with using binary variables and Multi Goal Programming, to design an overall sustainable and environmentally friendly production line model with the most positive social effect.

The production of bioethanol and biodiesel and the prospect of its importation into the EU have lead to various initiatives to ensure that only biofuels which are produced in a sustainable way are acceptable. Standards which are set to define the important sustainability issues are in various stages of development. The processes involved are of interest to the sugar industry, as both sugarcane and sugarbeet have enormous potential as feedstocks for bioethanol. The Better Sugarcane Initiative is underway to define standards for the sustainable production of both sugar and bioethanol from sugarcane. This paper attempts to discuss the major issues surrounding sustainable production of sugar and ethanol, outlining the processes involved in setting and maintaining sustainability standards. This is discussed in particular with respect to the development of the Better Sugarcane Initiative and looks forward to the implications for all stakeholders.
