Exploring the Variables Interactions for Cement Industry Policies to Support Sustainable Development Aspect in Indonesia through Green Manufacturing

Abstract

The cement industry has a crucial role in infrastructure development during an economic growth process, but they are considered a threat to sustainability. It is reflected in the increase and its relationship with high energy consumption and pollution of the environment. Around 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are accounted for by the cement industry alone. The Indonesian government must address this issue by exploring policies that drive producers to implement the green manufacturing principle. This study aims to conceptualize the systemic impact of policies in green manufacturing for the cement industry. The study results are described in diagram of causal loop to build model that would better understand cement industry variables that support Indonesia's sustainable aspects.
