Abstract
The primary goal of this research is to evaluate how integrating environmental and economic perspectives enhances sustainability in sugarcane processing. This study focuses on analyzing specific aspects of sustainability, including energy use, waste management, and economic efficiency, to understand their interconnections and collective impact on the sugarcane industry. It reveals significant environmental benefits from adopting sustainable practices in sugarcane processing. Key findings include a substantial reduction in water usage and carbon emissions, underscoring the positive impact of sustainable practices on environmental metrics. Economically, the implementation of sustainable technologies has led to notable cost savings, improved return on investment, and expansion into new markets, thereby enhancing the overall economic health of the industry. The study concludes that the integration of environmental and economic perspectives not only leads to improved sustainability in sugarcane processing but also offers dual benefits of environmental betterment and economic viability. These findings suggest that a cohesive approach in policy and practice could further enhance sustainability outcomes in the sugarcane industry, advocating for more comprehensive adoption of sustainable technologies and practices.
