Life cycle of ceramic waste materials from the perspective of revenue and environmental management

Abstract

The production of ceramic creates scrap material that is often wasted. The aims of this study are to know the influence of size and material on scrap material and the role of accounting in managing the environment. The results show that product size and material used together have an effect on scrap material. Partial testing shows that only materials used have a positive and significant effect on the emergence of scrap materials. The accounting treatment is done by debiting Cash IDR 5,258,753.99 and crediting Work in Process-Raw Material Cost IDR 5,258,753.99. The cost of goods manufactured of ceramic products after accounting treatment for scrap material is lower than before. The selling price also decreased for the same product. The operating profit will increase IDR 5,013,038.64 (use original selling price) and decrease IDR 1,272,112.67 (use selling price after treatment for scrap material). The emergence of scrap material causes environmental problems. Environmental accounting overcomes this by removing scrap material from its place. The transfer is done by selling at a price of half the standard price. The proceeds from the sale are treated as a deduction from the cost of raw materials in an account in the Work in Process-Raw Materials Cost credit.

Waste Bank management as an alternative community-based waste management strategy in Langsa City, Aceh Province

“…In implementing citizen education with the development of Waste Bank, intensive coordination must continue to be carried out with the administrators for every activity that will be carried out so that citizen empowerment can be maximized. Apart from efforts to maximize residents' abilities and skills, efforts to monitor developments in waste prices on the market must also continue [9]. The smart city concept is a dream come true that must be implemented in various countries and it is hoped that it can be implemented so as to bring change to its citizens [10].…”
