Exhaust gases from boiler stack and dust also can be part landfill for decomposing fruit bunch products can introduce to other such as dust and sludge.

Introduction of Zero Waste Zero Discharge Initiatives at palm oil mill can achieve such zero emission target. With this initiatives, implementation of various units or plants to control the emission can applied. Units or plants such as biogas plant, polishing/tertiary plant, evaporation plant and composing plant can ensure the target of zero emission are met.

Zero Waste Zero Discharge Initiatives at Palm Oil Mill
This initiatives not only enable zero emission but at the same time can reduce the operating cost of the mill with biogas plant that generate its own power supply that can be use back by the mill and also introduce the power into national power

    A few examples include emission created by industrial farming processes, land use change, emission produced by livestock (Lappé 854). One of the biggest factors in land use change is the emergence of palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia. The problem is the plantations are not sustainable and harm the environment. Palm oil is used in a wide range of foods to make them creamier and has become a staple of the industrial food system. The enormous demand for palm oil exacerbates the land depletion problem. Too often, the land used for palm oil trees comes at the expense of tropical forests. Palm oil is not the culprit, but the huge amount of land required for palm oil plantations is. Certified sustainable palm oil produced on plantations that comply with the environmental standards of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is the solution. This is not a perfect solution yet, as loopholes exist in this protocol, but it is a step in the right…

    Most people do not make a connection between what they consume and their carbon footprint. Unfortunately, as previously stated, palm oil can be found in the majority of food we consume, and products we buy. The deforestation due to palm oil demand has had helped the increased rate of global warming. “Tropical deforestation contributes approximately 15% to total global anthropogenic carbon emissions” (Ivancic). We need rainforests because they are the lungs of our planet, helping it absorb the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Tropical rainforests also produce the oxygen we breath. “Forests act as sponges to absorb greenhouse gases; destroying forests releases those gases into the atmosphere” (Palm Oil's Deceptive Lure). It is hard for people to change their lifestyle in order to decrease the rate of global warming. However, if rainforests continue to be destroyed, our quality of life will substantially decrease because of the effects global warming is going to have on the habitants of this planet. It is sad to know that given all the scientific evidence about global warming there are politicians that still deny the existence of this common threat. Fortunately, there are organization that are fighting to protect the rainforests from irresponsible palm oil growers, these organizations are coming up with solutions to the use of unsustainable palm…

    For Asian Agri and other Indonesian producers of palm oil, the promised future increase in demand of rapidly growing Asian populations, but also intensifying criticism from environmental groups. With the highest performance and lowest cost of production of any edible oil, palm oil was cheap and abundant source of food for the international markets of Asia and, to a lesser extent. Its production has increased from 1970 to 2010, sparking concern among environmentalists for the conversion of land with high conservation value in Malaysia and Indonesia (where almost 90% of palm oil is produced) in palm oil plantations. Critics have intensified their campaigns in recent years, driving-sometimes successfully, packaged food manufacturers and investors to boycott palm oil suppliers accused of environmental mismanagement. The Committee notes that some accusations are unjustified, the palm oil producers argued that the industry was moving towards greater sustainability and cited the unique advantages of palm oil: trans-fat free was unhealthy, for example, and requires less land to produce more oil than any known substitute. Asian Agri, an established producer of Indonesian palm oil exporter, had hitherto avoided public scrutiny. The company was a major employer in many rural communities, with extensive experience negotiating complex regulatory environment of Indonesia, and moved to certify its operations in accordance with guidelines established industry sustainability. In 2010, Asian Agri appeared well positioned to capitalize on the growing market for palm oil, but the broad strokes vilification of the palm oil industry is a source of great concern. Faced with great uncertainty, the management team to design a strategy for the future.…
