Abstract:
The development of Environmental Management Evaluation (EME) method is paramount for
any industry in respect of environmental and economical concerns. An idea developed to
evaluate the Rice Mill industry is presented in this paper. The Rice Mill industry uses paddy,
as the major input and water, electricity, firewood and labor force as supplementary inputs to
form rice as the major output along with the production of waste i.e. rice bran, husk, and
wastewater. It is expected that the evaluation methods, presented in this paper will prove
useful to improve the efficiency of the rice processing, while minimizing the waste by
recycling and/or reusing.
