Purpose: The purpose of the publication was to present the opportunities offered by the implementation of Cleaner Production projects in terms of improving the efficiency of supply chains, in accordance with the principles of transformation to the circular model, and to review indicators characterizing green supply chains, indicating the direction of further, in-depth research in a given area. Methodology: Fourteen entities that implemented implementation projects under the Cleaner Production Academy were analyzed. On this basis, the degree of adaptation of selected enterprises to functioning in the circular model in such areas as transport, reverse logistics, cooperation, and eco-design was discussed. The economic account related to the above was balanced. implementations, then the results of the projects were summarized in the form of economic, environmental, and social indicators. Findings: Confrontation of the ways of implementing changes in the area of improving the efficiency of the functioning of the supply chains of the analyzed companies with the effects that have been achieved, showed the greatest commitment to projects reducing material losses and reducing the costs of internal logistics. The least involvement was found in the area of activities such as establishing cooperation with other companies or developing the service sphere. Research implications: Further research should focus on an in-depth analysis of examples of good practice in the area of cooperation and development of services for companies taking action to improve the efficiency of supply chains. Enterprises have a chance to significantly reduce costs and improve the environmental effect through activities in this area, which should be confirmed by examples of implementations. Practical implications: The analysis of the indicators suggested in the literature related to the transformation of supply chains towards closing the loops indicates the need to create standards that, on the one hand, will enable verification of the effects of implementations implemented as part of Cleaner Production projects, and on the other hand - will constitute know-how for companies. These activities, so far rarely undertaken by companies, are generally low-cost and probably enable achieving very good economic effects in the long term, which should be checked.Social implications: The development of activities in the social area by companies in the field of development of the service base and cooperation will have an impact on other indicators (economic and environmental), which is indicated by numerous examples of effects in this area in the world literature. Originality: The article takes a very important direction of further research in the area of know-how for taking actions aimed at closing supply chains. The authors look for the most universal indicators and pay attention to the need for their mutual complementation. The collected material is the starting point for further in-depth analyses.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zagadnienia Czystszej Produkcji (CP) w aspekcie korzyści, jakie daje przedsiębiorstwu w sferze jego konkurencyjności, produktywności oraz efektywności. Obiektem badawczym jest przedsiębiorstwo będące liderem w zakresie Czystszej Produkcji – zakład cementowni CEMEX. Badania przeprowadzono w oparciu o analizę porównawczą zrównoważonego rozwoju przedsiębiorstwa w latach 2008–2012. Wykazano, że substytucja paliw alternatywnych (wzrost o 43% w 2014 roku w porównaniu z 2010 rokiem) oraz budowa pierwszej na świecie suszarni paliw alternatywnych pozwoliły nie tylko na redukcję dwutlenku węgla, ale także na zmniejszenie zużycia węgla kamiennego, co w konsekwencji pozwoliło na odciążenie składowisk odpadów. Dzięki eliminacji części wody zawartej w paliwach alternatywnych nawet do 8%, redukcji ulega jednostkowe zużycie ciepła w procesie produkcji klinkieru. Wynika to z uniknięcia odparowywania wody w wysokich temperaturach. Analiza przedstawionych danych wykazała, że stosowanie CP nie tylko skutecznie chroni środowisko przez redukcję/minimalizację strumieni odpadów, ale również prowadzi do zwiększania zyskowności, produktywności, efektywności i konkurencyjności przemysłu, co w efekcie prowadzi do wzrostu gospodarczego. W artykule podkreślono, że cementownia CEMEX Rudniki dzięki zastosowaniu paliw alternatywnych w ciągu ostatnich 5 lat zaoszczędziła 132 000 Mg węgla.

The aim of the paper is to present the issue of Cleaner Production (CP) in the aspect of the benefits that it gives the company in the competitiveness, productivity and efficiency aspect. The research object is a company that is a leader in the Cleaner Production area – cement plant CEMEX. The research was based on a comparative analysis the company’s sustainable development between 2008–2012. It was shown that substitution of alternative fuels (an increase by 43% in 2014 compared to 2010) and the construction of the first world’s alternative fuels dryer enabled not only for carbon dioxide reduction, but also hard coal consumption reduction and as a consequence allowed to relieve landfills waste. Thanks to elimination a part of the water contained in alternative fuels up to 8%, the unit heat consumption in the clinker production process is reduced. This is due to avoiding evaporation of water at high temperatures. Analysis of the presented data showed that the use of CP not only effectively protects the environment by reducing/minimizing waste streams, but also leads to increased profitability, productivity, efficiency and industry competitiveness, which in turn leads to economic growth. The paper emphasizes that the CEMEX Rudniki cement plant has saved 132,000 Mg of carbon thanks to the use of alternative fuels over the last 5 years.

A new method using non-salt roasting-alkaline leaching to treat vanadium slag was proposed in this study. The V(III) in vanadium slag is oxidized to V(V) by roasting and the latter can be effectively leached out as vanadate by alkaline leaching. This method possesses distinct advantage of being able to treat high-grade vanadium slag. For the South Africa high-grade vanadium slag, the maximum vanadium recovery of 98% was achieved when the reaction conditions were roasting temperature of 850 °C, roasting time of 2 h, alkali concentration of 30 wt.%, leaching temperature of 210 °C, and leaching time of 2 h. The roasting and leaching mechanisms have been well elucidated based on the XRD and SEM analysis results. The phases transitions of vanadium slag were clearly presented. This work has laid the foundation for the industrial application of non-salt roasting-alkaline leaching and provided new insights into effective extraction of high-grade vanadium slag.

Purpose: During the last couple of decades, development of medical science has been marked with an ever more pronounced interdisciplinary character which, in part, can be attributed to various engineering applications. Rapid development of computer-aided technologies, which completely transformed production engineering, also left an indelible mark on dental prosthetics. Striving towards its primary goal - primum non nocere (’Above all, do not harm!’), the area of dental prosthetics has introduced numerous novel technologies and methods which allow manufacture of precision, custom-made, optimal dental replacements. Design/methodology/approach: The aim of research - to contribute to integration of modern engineering technologies and computer-aided systems into dental prosthetics with special emphasis on efficient manufacture of dental replacements with precision which allows clinical applicability. The subject scope of the paper comprises modelling, manufacturing with special emphases on materials, quality inspection and environmental impact assessment (cleaner production). Findings: In the industrially developed countries, efforts have been concentrated towards advancement of modelling and manufacture of dental replacements by introducing modern computer equipment and state-of-the-art materials and machining technologies. However, in countries in transition, dental replacements are predominantly manufactured in a traditional, manual way prone to errors. The reasons for this situation are various. Practical implications: It is expected that this trend will have a significant impact on the further development of production engineering techniques and technologies in the near future. Originality/value: The paper evolved on the premise that there is a room for more intensive co-operation between the two disciplines - dental prosthetics and engineering, with a prospect for success of the development of novel, original solutions. In that sense, this paper should serve to both professions - production engineers and dentists.

Purpose: Metallurgical process generates many solid, gaseous and liquid wastes. Nowadays when environmental protection is one of the most important problems and when pollution limits are very tight as well, problem of the metallurgical wastes is a strategic one. Design/methodology/approach: In present days the metallurgical and foundry plant have to utilize their own wastes, especially these which are the most dangerous and toxic or have to render harm of its and transfer to another industry branch for further utilization. Nowadays the issue of wastes management has the place both in industrial practice and scientific field too. The presented work is a result of such an approach, where a cooperation between scientific and industrial partners gives good economical and ecological results. Findings: One of the very efficient method of utilization of furnace dusts from any melting furnace or the finest fractions of charging materials is pneumatic powder injection directly into molten metal bath.The method is pretty easy and cost effective in various conditions and its flexibility allows to implement it in almost every foundry or metallurgical plant. Research limitations/implications: Further experiments should be carried out to solve some additional problems appearing during powder injection processes to make them more efficient in various technological conditions. Practical implications: Nowadays in Poland operate more than ten industrial stands for powdered carburizers injection, installation of furnace dust injection back to the melting furnace or pneumatic inoculation of alloys (mostly in cast iron foundries). Originality/value: The paper presents a few modern solutions for recycling and utilization of furnace dusts (in cupolas and EAF’s) and pneumatic carburization with use of powdered carburizers which are very often in form of grinded graphite electrodes wastes. All of the mentioned results and method had been developed in Department of Foundry and some of the designs had been previously patented.

The European Union produces about 18 million tons of waste from meat industry per year. The real danger of the BSE disease caused a necessity of looking for a new alternative solution of meat waste management. The proposed solution of meat industry waste management would create meat production waste free with the use of the cleaner production method. Cleaner production includes: pollution prevention, reduction of the source, recovery of materials and energy (for example: the recovery of blood plasma and protein hydrolisate from bone sludge) and their recycling. The thermal processing of meat industrial waste (bone sludge, meat-bone meal and odour) is anticipated, too. Ashes from meat calcining have the phosphorus content close to its concentration, of the typical phosphoric raw materials. That confirmed the possibility of using such ashes as the substitute of phosphoric raw materials. The target model of waste free meat waste management included the results of the implemented and current research.
