“…In Mexico, the sugar industry has great production potential due to its economic and nutritional contribution, but in recent years there have been serious operational and profitability problems (Anaya-Reza 2017). Being the main problem that the Mexican sugarcane industry has been focusing his profitability only by measuring production yields (Aguilar-Rivera, 2019). On the other hand, postharvest sugarcane deterioration causes sucrose loss mainly by sucrose hydrolysis from endogenous invertase as well as dextran synthesis (Cuervo-Mulet et al, 2010) from Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Leuconostoc species (Bhatia et al, 2009;Naessens et al, 2005;Santos et al, 2020).…”

“…Indicators for evaluating sustainability are selected considering the availability of data and measurement feasibility, framework, reliability and associated uncertainty, and relevance. For sugar industry, there are some sustainability certification schemes and indicator sets that have been developed by various authors (Aguilar-Rivera 2019 ) and companies such as Bonsucro. However, in most sugar countries they are not applied due to numerous complex factors.…”

The worldwide sugar industry presents a productive inertia and a fragile sustainability due to there are marginal advances in the productivity, productive diversification, and reduction of the environmental impact in cane crop fields, sugar factories, distilleries, and non-centrifuged sugar production. The complexity of sustainability evaluation in sugar industry is highlighted by the incorporation of many criteria including both quantitative and qualitative issues, measured by different units or at least the development of standards for benchmarking. The key to successful sustainability will ultimately depend on the progress in sugarcane productivity without increasing the cultivated area and decreases the environmental impacts without the lack of coordination between public policies, stakeholders, and markets which would have benefits and wellness on social, economic, and environmental aspects. The aim of this research was to carry out a review about the sustainability frameworks, indicators, constraints, and barrier to transit the sugar industry to sustainability. The results present opportunities and strengths of sugar industry related to 2030 agenda for sustainable development and circular economy as an useful guidance to formulate strategies to maximizing the potential of the sugar industry to a sustainable biofactory.

“…In terms of Industrial Ecology initiatives within this conservative network, they are based on inter-industrial relationships, such as the use of biomass to produce electricity for self-consumption and the usage of some by-products as inputs in other establishments to produce feed and fertilizers [55]. However, these inter-industrial relationships occur within the same company [13].…”

In the last few lustrums, the literature has searched for more precise methods to assess the socio-economic importance of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE). On that basis, this article offers a new way of assessing the SSE impact, enhancing the understanding of the SSE potential for socio-economic transformation. An evolutionary micro–meso–macro and territorial theoretical framework is developed, utilizing, along with the assistance of a qualitative methodology, studies on the transformation promoted by the SSE on the sugar cane cluster of Veracruz (Mexico). The main results of the article are that the SSE boost beneficiaries, while the protagonists of the transformation cannot be defined a priori, but are rather conformed by transformation vectors promoted by the SSE: their values shared by a wide spectrum of actors, the SSE socio-economic and organizational specificities, and their rooting in the productive system. The fundamental conclusion of the article is the need for a “territorial-driven approach” of the SSE’s impact, compared to the dominant “stakeholder-driven approach”. The main limitations (and suggestions for future studies) are the empirical investigation of a single case, and the need to develop a qualitative and quantitative system of indicators of the transformative drive of SSE.
