DANAREEN D. CORNEJO & HARRY D. EDNACOT JR. Cleaner Production Assessment at Carm Foods Enterprises, Inc. An undergraduate thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Mr. Gerry M. Castillo. The assessment conducted particularly at Carm Foods Enterprises which produces smoked and dried fishes. Its purpose was to assess the current fish processing, find cleaner opportunities and to provide recommendations that will benefit the system. Through the use of preliminary cleaner production assessment report and series of observation, problems were identified. Problems such as firms do not focus in programs for identifying smelly places and determining the noise level that produces the firm, the absence of face masks and rubber hand gloves for employees, firm had not been re-using the consumed energy, generation of hazardous waste are present due to smoking and cooking process, and using the low end technology. Through these problems, researchers come up with cleaner production recommendations that may benefit the firm. Recommendations such as utilization of solar drum dryers, fish oil extraction machine, biomass briquette, and solar-powered ice maker may lead for a better output having a high quality and to be able to improve the existing system. Exercising the approach of cleaner production assessment on fish process industry will aid for further refinement of the product and to gain economic and environmental benefits.
