dc.description.abstractSustainable development, waste minimization, resource utilization are the major concepts discussing today. This research project approaches the concept of Cleaner Production in an industry of rubber dipped products. Cleaner production is defined as, the continuous application of an integrated, preventive, environmental strategy applied to processes, products and services to increase overall efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. The assessment was started and formed cleaner production team, understood the process flow diagram, identified the waste streams, quantified the wastes and the possible options were given to the identified waste causes. Significant latex wastages were identified from the process as latex sample leftovers, latex retention sample keeping. And also the coagulated rubber in the tanks and pump wash overs were considerable. The water wastages from the process tanks were significantly noticed as they are totally used for a single 9, . Resource consumption can be reduced by optimizing the processes like watel reusing and recycling. Large amount of water can be recycle for the same process activities or can reuse for any other purpose without searching for completely pure water. Waste generation can be minimized largely by adopting new technologies and by improving operating efficiencies. The minimization of wastes at the point of generation is the most valuable option under cleaner production.
