Clean and Green Applications Towards Sustainable Development

Abstract

This chapter discusses three different industries having a variety of technologies to decrease pollution in sugar, distillery, and cement. It is essential to understand the problem faced by the industrial unit on treatment technologies. This chapter can be a platform to address the conventional and cleaner technology, initiating the cost analysis methods like return on investment and cost benefits compared using ANOVA, T-test, and the correlation to verify hypotheses. The result shows a significant variation between industries concerning the cost-benefit ratio at the end of pipe technology, which turns on the significance level at ten percent. In correlation, it shows a positive relationship between cleaner technology and conventional technology concerning ROI and the cost-benefit ratio at the 1 percent significance level. Compared with the descriptive statistics of CBR of end Pipe technology, the sugar industry's mean value shows a high CBR 6.820 compared to other sectors. Further, it is also found that the environmental benefits and profit are higher in both technologies.
