Abstract

This article aims to implement the environmental strategy Cleaner Production (CP) in the productive process of the small company Productos Lácteos del Norte, through the application of this efficient management strategy, in order to obtain economic savings and minimize the environmental impact for the benefit of industrial sustainability. The article initially makes a brief literary review of CP, its importance, benefits and legal framework. Subsequently, 4 phases were created to implement the strategy, these phases were structured based on the CP Application Guide in the Dairy sector of the CPML of Nicaragua and the General Technical Guide of CP of the CPTS of Bolivia. Finally, the CP environmental strategy was implemented in the small company, through the development of the phases of planning and organization, re-evaluation, evaluation and feasibility study. In the results of the feasibility study, indicators were obtained of: energy consumption of 115,3 W·h/t of cheese, which is within the recommended value; water consumption of 9,06 L of water/kg of milk, which is outside the allowed range. The CP environmental strategy was implemented in the small company, however, the execution of the analysis of proposals in the medium and long term will have to be carried out for its consolidation.
