Abstract
Cleaner Production is a preventative approach to environmental management encompassing eco-efficiency, waste minimisation and pollution prevention, enabling ecologically sustainable manufacture protecting both profits and the environment. Cleaner Production is achieved by employing waste minimisation techniques, which can include improved housekeeping, recycling process material, by-product and waste recovery, and changes in process technology. There are examples of the application of each of these techniques in the dairy industry. This paper outlines the benefits of companies networking to achieve economies of scale to increase profitability with better environmental outcomes. Such opportunities are ready to be exploited using currently available technology, enabling sustainable development for the future dairy industry in Australia.
