Manufacturing is typically thought of as a business that does not care about the environment, housed inside facilities that are dark and dirty. However, manufacturing has changed dramatically over the past 10 years and embraced sustainable practices. Some larger corporations have added vice presidents of sustainability to their leadership teams.
Sustainability is the creation of products through economically sound processes that minimize the negative impacts on the environment, while conserving energy (lowering costs and improving profitability) and natural resources. Once being thought of as a green manufacturer was a nice talking point, now it has become an expectation of manufacturing to reduce water and energy consumption, while minimizing waste and decreasing dangerous emissions.
