“…Since the early 1950s, the integration of environmental concerns into quality control policies has supported a new perspective for the management of industrial production (Zwetsloot, ). Concepts such as residue or waste reduction (Caldart & Ryan, ; Rueffer, ), pollution prevention (P2) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [US EPA], ), Cleaner Production (CP) (Luken, ), clean production (Kruszewska, ), and ecoefficiency…”

This article presents an analysis of the application of a cleaner production program within a Brazilian printing company and describes its specific characteristics to propose a benchmark for similar efforts at other companies. As a result, a very number of improvement opportunities (136) were identified, indicating that the printing industry needs to make reasonable, collective efforts to ensure that companies' environmental systems reach international marks.

Water recyling in fruit and vegetable processing may contribute to decreasing industrial waste and load. Water was recycled for washing orange peel to prepare a high dietary fibre powder using tap water washing as the standard. Total sugar (12.1–13.1%), total dietary fibre (70–71.5%), soluble dietary fibre (21–22%), yield (59–60%), water holding capacity (7.8–8.1 g water g−1 dry matter), colour and microbiological quality of a dry product were not significantly affected when the liquors from pulping and pressing were recycled for washing peel. Recycling liquors from pulping and pressing gave the highest energy (43%) and water (33.4%) savings, respectively.
