Sustainable Manufacturing is defined by the US Department of Commerce
"as the creation of manufactured products that use processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers and are economically sound.”

We define Sustainable Manufacturing as a business practice of the industrial sector, which expands all the company’s processes and decisions into the social and natural environments it operates in and affects, with the explicit objective of reducing or eliminating any negative impact, while pursuing the desired level of technological and economic performance.

 

Sustainable Manufacturing Consulting supports the re-establishment of manufacturing as the main activity in the future clean economy, built on the principles of sustainability. Given the new and most serious constraints imposed by the reality of climate change on business, companies of all sizes are adapting their business models and strategy to include the triple environment they operate in and affect: economic, natural and social.

Products and processes will require significant changes in order to qualify as sustainable. Investing in sustainability will provide great opportunities for growth, competitiveness and innovation to manufacturing companies transitioning from the carbon-constrained economy of the 20th century to the carbon-neutral, clean economy of the 21st century.

We offer our expertise and services to manufacturing companies interested in incorporating sustainability in their business strategy and decision-making process. Our approach is based on and strongly supports scientific discovery, engineering work and technological innovation.
