NEED FOR FUTURE

Manufacturing industries account for a significant


part of the world’s consumption of resources and
generation of waste

Energy Consumption CO2


The energy consumption of manufacturing It accounts for nearly a third of today’s They are responsible for 36% of global
industries grew by 61% from 1971 to 2004 global energy usage carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions

Close Loop Production System

1st Point
Efforts to create closed loop, circular
production systems have particularly
focused
on revitalizing disposed products into new
resources for production
Example
By establishing Eco industrial
parks where economic and environmental
synergies between traditionally unrelated
industrial
producers can be harnessed

The Evolution of sustainable manufacturing concepts and practices

Sustainable manufacturing uses both technological and


01 non-technological solutions

It shifts the focus from “end-of-pipeline” solutions,


02 disposal of waste, clean-up, recovery, a liability
approach, to
the very beginning, at product or process design
stage, an opportunity approach.

Why Sustainability
Manufacturing is Important
To assess and mitigate the
negative impacts outside the company’s
boundaries

The reality of climate change, its


anthropomorphic causes and the need to
reverse its trend

The pressures from all categories of


Stakeholders' customers, investors,
employees, suppliers, competitors,
communities, local and national
Scarcity of critical resources for operations: governments, international regulatory
energy, raw materials, water and the price bodies, non-governmental organizations
volatility caused, in part, by increased
competition for and increased extraction
costs of depleting virgin materials and
nonrenewable resources.
