Rethinking the traditional economy through green manufacturing
“Green manufacturing” is often popularly understood as the production of environmentally-friendly products, like solar panels, organic cotton of bamboo garments or additive-free packaged foods. These are important, but far greater environmental and economic impacts can be achieved by “greening” the industrial processes that deliver the materials, components and products that our mass, global markets demand; thereby potentially reducing the environmental footprint of everything around us.
