Manufacturing

Manufacturing has a significant impact on the environment, contributing to pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. Sustainable manufacturing practices are crucial for mitigating these environmental impacts and promoting a healthier planet.

Industrial Pollution

Air Pollutants

  • Use devices to capture and filter

  • Use clean energy sources (wind, solar, etc.) to reduce emission

    • ​Governments often offer tax credits and subsidies for clean energy sources

Construction Materials

Waste Management

  • Reduce packaging materials

  • Recycle

  • Minimize overstocking and overproduction

    • ​Minimizing overproduction and overstocking may save money

  • Purchase reusable equipment

    • ​Investing in reusable equipment may save money

Dump Site

Resource Depletion

  • Closed loop manufacturing

  • Install water filtration system to minimize water waste

    • ​Potentially lower costs when reusing materials rather than purchasing new ones

Environment Pollution

Water Contamination

  • ​Install water filtration system to minimize water waste

    • ​Reuses wastewater for new processes

Energy Farm

Energy Consumption

  • Use clean and renewable energy sources, solar panels are easiest

    • Governments often offer tax credits and subsidies

    • Potentially lower utility bills

  • Use motion censored and LED lights to conserve energy

  • Electric or hybrid transportation vehicles

Toxic Container

Toxic Waste Disposal

  • Utilize treatment facilities and practices

  • Cogeneration uses heat energy from discarded equipment to heat up other processes

    • ​Amount of fuel needed for reheating is reduced, saving money

Air Compressor
