Water reuse in the food industry

Due to the significant growing demand for water, it is urgent to those in the food industry to consider a more rational and sustainable use of such a scarce natural resource. This chapter highlights alternative food processing methods that contemplate recycling and reusing water. Based on a systematic literature review, it highlights the adoption of cleaner production methods. The chapter focus on the meat and fresh produce sectors where evidence shows that water sustainability related methods is the most needed. Suggestions are proposed to minimize water waste through the treatment of effluents and decrease the impact of effluent pollution on the environment. In so doing, clear environmental and economic benefits could be achieved through the reduction of costs and value-adding to the final product. Yet, the implementation of Cleaner Production Methods would require support from the industry, policymakers, and consumers to encourage the recycling and reuse of water.

The impact of Environmental Disclosure on Cleaner Production Techniques/an Exploratory Study

The study deals with the extent of the impact of environmental disclosure on cleaner production techniques, and in order to prove the hypothesis of the study, a link to the questionnaire was published on social networking sites and it was answered by 54 respondents, and then the researcher analyzed the results by relying on the SPSS statistical program, and the study found To a series of results, the most important of which is that environmental disclosure has an impact on the reliability of cleaner production, and at the end of the study a set of recommendations were developed, the most important of which is that companies disclose their environmental performance because they have a role in the reliability of cleaner production and the introduction of the issue of accounting in the curricula of universities and institutes.
