Jan 22, 2019 · The green manufacturing journey, by contrast, is circular. It moves beyond the 3R approach of “reduce, reuse, recycle” toward a 5R approach: “repair, reuse, refurbish, re-manufacture, and recycle” thereby driving an optimized usage of the resources and an extended life of products. Achieving “zero waste to landfill” is possible.
Jan 12, 2022 · 2. In order to achieve carbon-neutral manufacturing, we must put energy efficiency front and centre. There is no doubt that energy efficiency improvements will have to play a crucial role in putting the world on a net-zero pathway. In particular, heating and cooling require our immediate focus, as they account for a large proportion of energy ...
Nov 30, 2023 · Green ammonia is produced without fossil fuels and could help cut the high emissions associated with synthetic fertilizer production. The World Economic Forum’s First Mover Coalition is helping drive forward its use in a variety of applications to cut carbon emissions in intensive sectors. The Kenya Nut company is to become the first farm in ...
May 23, 2022 · Our Ningde plant was recognized as a lighthouse factory in 2021 for our achievements in extreme manufacturing, which we have upgraded to extreme green manufacturing this year. In CATL’s Yibin plant, the world’s first certified zero-carbon factory, about 80% of energy consumption comes from hydropower, reducing 400,000 tons of carbon emissions every year.
Oct 13, 2022 · Lighthouse factories around the globe are using technology to improve productivity, sustainability and workforce engagement. The World Economic Forum's Lighthouses Live event featured leaders from manufacturing companies with designated Fourth Industrial Revolution Lighthouses. Here are some of the key quotes on how data drives sustainability ...
Mar 23, 2022 · The World Economic Forum is working with manufacturing companies to securely exchange data to help identify and reduce the carbon footprint of the manufacturing industry
Jun 8, 2022 · While meeting the IPCC targets will require significant changes to existing processes, global supply chains reconfigurations will lead to the acceleration of new-build factory projects. This creates challenges for achieving net zero emissions, but also an opportunity to start with a clean slate and develop industrial concepts that incorporate sustainability best practices by design.
Jun 14, 2021 · It focuses on optimization across the value chain, finding efficiencies in production processes and adopting a “reuse, reduce, recycle” approach to make manufacturing more sustainable. The circular economy must be part of the initial product development and design process. The circular economy – and ensuring environmental practices across ...
Aug 4, 2020 · According to the 2019 World Energy Outlook by the International Energy Agency (IEA), “a sharp pick-up in efficiency improvements is the single most important element that brings the world towards the Sustainable Development Scenario ”. Manufacturers must evaluate and optimize individual, energy-intensive processes within operations by ...
Jul 11, 2022 · Essentially, green steel is the manufacturing of steel without the use of fossil fuels. So-called “green hydrogen” is one solution that could help reduce the steel industry’s carbon footprint. “When burned, hydrogen emits only water. And if that hydrogen is produced via electrolysis using just water and renewable electricity, then it is ...
