Abstract
This research seeks to develop an integrated system
of EECP options, indices and techniques with less resource usage
intensities and higher operational efficiencies for the food
manufacturing industry in Zimbabwe. Specifically the research will
seek to conserve raw materials as there will be reduced waste
accumulation, eliminate contact with toxic raw materials by
substituting or disposing them, reduce the quantities and toxicity of
wastes and emissions, quantify and stratify wastes generated in
Zimbabwean industries, develop an EECP based framework for
measuring the greenness of a company. The concomitant result is that
the working environment will be cleaner and safe thereby reducing
health hazards and will also be more productive and profitable.
