Green Manufacturing: What Is It?



Manufacturing, along with other industrial processes, is one of the primary industry sectors being targeted for green technology use. Traditional manufacturing methods are transforming into lean, green conserving machines that benefit the planet and the bottom line.

Why go green? It's simply the right thing to do!

Embracing sustainable and green principles is not just a trend. Cultivating sustainable and green practices helps companies become more efficient, competitive and profitable. It’s more than simply a good thing to do. 

The term “green” manufacturing can be looked at in two ways: the manufacturing of “green” products, particularly those used in renewable energy systems and clean technology equipment (like that of our earth-friendly organic minimum quantity lubrication) and the “greening” of manufacturing - reducing pollution and waste by minimizing natural resource use, recycling and reusing what was considered waste, and reducing emissions.

In the manufacturing world, it is advantageous to focus on both green and sustainability. While targeted improvements can be beneficial to your company, looking at the bigger picture maximizes the perks of an environmental focus. 

Growing numbers of businesses are finding that reducing resource use, waste, and pollution, along with recycling and reusing what was formerly looked at as waste, yields benefits not only in terms of an improved bottom line, but in terms of employee motivation, morale, and public relations.

The Earth always benefits from any effort to reduce stress on her ecosystems - and when the Earth benefits, we all benefit as well.
