THE INDICATOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF RECYCLING AT THE SUGAR PLANTS

Abstract

With the development of economy and its balance with the needs of society, it becomes necessary to find objective common ground. Most of the tools of the social partnership include influencing the companies in order to reduce environmental impact. However, in practice many companies experience some financial pressure on their non-core activities dedicated to the improvement of the environmental situation in the territories where the industrial facilities are situated. In the "millennium of innovation" new advanced solutions for alternative energy are becoming available. The development of this area of investment is the only true vector of development and search for the points of contact between the economy and the environment. An index that can provide a comprehensive assessment of this comparison is an indicator of environmental and economic efficiency. This figure embodies the idea of the effectiveness of the new projects aimed at increasing both the energy and environmental efficiency and at improving the financial state of the company. For example, the implementation of facilities for recycling in order to obtain biofuel at a sugar plant makes it possible to reduce the consumption of the natural gas, decrease waste storage areas and improve the environmental situation in the area. This example shows a positive motion vector of a sugar plant in order to improve environmental and economic component of the plant's economic activities.
