Sugarcane in PT.ILP harvested by harvesting division through logging, unloading and transport. Logging is done in the form of sugar cane burn. The existence of a span of fuel to burn the sugar cane milling can undergo metabolism that cause decomposition of biodegradable polysaccharides or disaccharides, resulting in reduced cane sugar. Therefore, logging and proper and efficient transport can  reduce the rate of decline in the value of pol and purity. Logging and transport in PT.ILP is done in three systems, namely Bundle Cane, Loose Cane, and Chopped Cane.This study aimed to determine : (i) differences in the ability of the system to send Cane Bundle, Loose Cane and Chopped Cane, and (ii) the composition of the optimal delivery system Cane Bundle, Loose Cane, and Chopped Cane. This study used a descriptive analytical method. The type of data collected and analyzed secondary data of sugarcane to the factory shipment in 2012 and in 2013 from Harvesting Division PT.ILP be burnt to crush report time (hour) per weeks. Methods of data analysis using quantitative analysis method of linear programming models.The result showed that there are differences in the average shipment of sugar cane to the factory PT.ILP systems Bundle Cane, Cane Loose, and Chopped Cane Cane Bundle cutting system where the highest followed Loose Cane cutting system. In addition, the result of the study also concluded that the average composition of the shipment of cutting system Bundle Cane, Cane Loose, and Chopped Cane currently not optimal in meeting the quota factory. This is evident from the composition of the shipment allocation of sugarcane to the factory PT.ILP on each cutting system (Bundle Cane, Cane Loose, and Chopped Cane) to change the composition of the previous allocation so that a change in the composition is still obtainable sugar production higher than before (still can be improved). A change in the number of workers cutting and variable costs per ton cane will change the composition of the optimal number of items cane to the mill.

To get more insight in the environmental performance of the Suiker Unie beet sugar, Blonk Consultants performed a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study on beet sugar, cane sugar and glucose syrup. The system boundaries of the sugar life cycle are set from cradle to regional storage at the Dutch market. For this study 8 different scenarios were evaluated. The first scenario is the actual sugar production at Suiker Unie. Scenario 2 until 7 are different cane sugar scenarios (different countries of origin, surplus electricity production and pre-harvest burning of leaves are considered). Scenario 8 concerns the glucose syrup scenario. An important factor in the environmental impact of 1kg of sugar is the sugar yield per ha. Total sugar yield per ha differs from 9t/ha sugar for sugarcane to 15t/ha sugar for sugar beet (in 2017). Main conclusion is that the production of beet sugar at Suiker Unie has in general a lower impact on climate change, fine particulate matter, land use and water consumption, compared to cane sugar production (in Brazil and India) and glucose syrup. The impact of cane sugar production on climate change and water consumption is highly dependent on the country of origin, especially when land use change is taken into account. The environmental impact of sugar production is highly dependent on the co-production of bioenergy, both for beet and cane sugar.

Crystal coconut sugar is sugar that made from coconut sap which is processed to  powder or crystal. This sugar has lower Glycemic Index and higher levels of fiber and vitamin B12 than cane sugar. Other advantages are that it is more soluble, has longer shelf life, more attractive in shape, easier to package and transport, has a unique taste and aroma, and can be fortified with other ingredients. Crystal coconut sugar can be used as a substitute for sugar cane in various beverage products. This paper aims to provide an overview of the process, excellence, and potential use of crystal coconut sugar in beverage products sourced from research journals and scientific books. Crystal coconut sugar has the potential to substitute cane sugar in tamarind syrup products, traditional drinks, instant powder drinks, instant chocolate drinks, coffee mixes, and ice cream.

Composting of organic waste into compost can be accelerated by using EM4. The nutrients can be obtained from carbohydrate sources, sugar cane, sugar, and brown sugar. This study aimed to determine the quality of Indian almond leaves compost with the addition of carbohydrate sources, sugar cane water, sugar, and brown sugar. The study employed a qualitative descriptive to describe the quality of the compost which refers to the National Compost Standard (SNI: 19-7030-2004). The results showed that the quality of the compost with the addition of the aforementioned carbohydrates sources has a C/N ratio value that exceeds the National Compost Standard (SNI: 19-7030-2004). Meanwhile, other characteristics such as temperature, pH, humidity, texture, color, and smell had met the requirements of the National Compost Standard (SNI: 19-7030-2004). The most effective source of carbohydrates for producing quality compost was brown sugar.

Concrete is a porous material and the ingress of water, oxygen, and aggressive ions, such as chlorides, can cause the passive layer on reinforced steel to break down. Additives, such as fly ash, microsilica, rice husk ash, and cane sugar bagasse ash, have a size breakdown that allows the reduction of concrete pore size and, consequently, may reduce the corrosion process. The objective of this work is to determine the corrosion rate of steel in reinforced concrete by the addition of 20% sugar cane bagasse ash by weight of cement. Six prismatic specimens (7×7×10 cm) with an embedded steel rod were prepared. Three contained 20% sugar cane bagasse ash by weight of cement and the other three did not. All specimens were placed in a 3.5% NaCl solution and the corrosion rate was determined using polarization resistance. The results showed that reinforced concrete containing sugar cane bagasse ash has the lowest corrosion rates in comparison to reinforced concrete without the additive.
