| 1 | Closely checking the age and quality of bamboo, avoid crack and broken bamboo | No cost | Ensure quality of material inputs | GH |
| 2 | Bamboo should be cut into pieces and dried at the sources to reduce transportation cost and bamboo should be selected before transporting to the company | Low cost | Ensure quality of material inputs | GH |
| 3 | Final products should be dried to get required dryness before putting in store. | No cost | Increase product quality | PC |
| 4 | Make heat resistance parts for the workshop | 34 million dong | Increase labour productivity, reduce the impact on the worker health | GH |
| 5 | Products after dipping in glue solution should be left to drain out all glue before taking it to drying process | No cost | Increase product quality, reduce chemical evaporation | GH |
| 6 | Replace the old modified fan 1,4 kW by new ones (10 fans) | 15 million dong | Saving of 27.6 million dong/year | GH |
| 7 | Insulate the steam supplying pipes from the boilers to the drying area | 25 million dong | Saving electricity | GH |
| 8 | Gradual replace the existing lighting bulbs by energy saving lighting bulbs | 25 million dong | Saving electricity | GH |
| 9 | Construct termite and wood worm fighting system | 2.4 billion dong | Reduction 300 tons bamboo affected by termite. Saving up 900 million dong | EM |
| 10 | Construct insulated house | 825 million dong | Saving of 91 million dong by reducing 15% amount of products being fungi and mould attacked | EM |
| 11 | Invest in machine, equipment to make useful products | 780 million dong | Financial benefit 249 million dong/year, reused 60% waste bamboo into production, 40% for boilers | OR |
| 12 | Construct a close painting room and solvent treatment system EC | 278 million dong | Significantly reduce levels of toxic solvents as toluene, azitilene in the air | EM |
| 13 | Construction of an environmentally-sound product treatment system using sulfur | 894 million dong | Thorough handling of excess SO2 into the environment arising | EM |
Remarks: GH: Good Housekeeping; EM: Equipment Modification; PC: Process Control; OR: Onsite Recovery
Perceiving the benefits from CP application, the company insisted to maintain the CP team activities and integrate CP in the general management system at place. In order to facilitate CP application, a simple environmental management system has been developed. The Company has also set up environmental policy, whereby it is requested that the environmental protection law and other regulations should be followed strictly, ensuring the sustainable development of the company and reducing waste emission sources. The Company has integrated process management system with the environmental management system, therefore, energy and material consumption is monitored at the same time with the monitoring of pollutant parameters in the waste streams.
An environmental monitoring plan has been initiated. The aim of the plan is to monitor significant improvements from applying CP or to adjust if there is any reduction in environmental benefits. Environment monitoring system includes monitoring air quality and wastewater.
CP not only brings about benefits from energy saving, emission minimization, reduced water consumption, but also helps the Company increase production, improve product quality, and prove prestige. The implemented CP options at the Company are a typical case study for enterprises in the sector of rattan production in Vietnam./.
