5. Giving lubricants and spent oil for recycling .

6. Reducing waste by improving processes.


7.Recording and putting up data for waste generation.

Energy savings in manufacturing industry

Energy plays a very important role in industry , Industries could be classified into heavy energy consumer , medium energy consumer and low energy consumer . Organization have started doing energy audits in their plants , offices etc .Such studies has highlighted waste of energy and requirement of energy efficient technology.
Some areas for energy cost reductions.
OFFICE:
Large Corporations or factories have bigger administration offices like accounts , sales , purchase,human resources ,production planning ,canteens ,rest rooms ,common rooms etc .Each dept or sections has certain utilities like air conditioners , photocopiers ,fans ,air washers ,lights etc .Cost reduction in energy bill can be achieved through proper monitoring optimization of equipments
