The Sustainable Factory: Making Manufacturing Cleaner Without Losing Competitiveness
Sustainable manufacturing increasingly involves practical decisions about energy, water, materials, waste and the efficiency of industrial processes. For manufacturers, environmental improvement must also work within the economic and operational realities of production. This edition examines how factories can reduce resource consumption and waste through better processes, measurement, technology and energy management. It explores the relationship between sustainability and competitiveness, showing where efficiency can support both environmental objectives and stronger industrial performance.
Editor's Note
Sustainability in manufacturing becomes more durable when it is connected to operational improvement. Using less energy, material or water can reduce environmental impact while also strengthening efficiency and cost control. This edition approaches the sustainable factory from that practical perspective, examining how manufacturers can improve resource performance without separating environmental responsibility from the realities of competitiveness and production.
