Embracing sustainable and green principles in manufacturing is more than simply the right thing to do. Such practices are enabling organizations to become more efficient, competitive, and profitable. Not only are there financial benefits for implementing environmentally conscious improvements, choosing to not take action puts factories at risk of being shut down due to stricter enforcement of environmental regulations.
China is presently formulating a system of standards on green manufacturing to upgrade traditional manufacturing. The roundtable discussion will provide an update on legislation relating to green manufacturing as well as insights and practices from manufacturers.
Interface will showcase the operation of its Taicang factory (LEED Platinum certified) to demonstrate how it meets its goals of Factories to Zero.
RenewFibre Asia specialises in the development and manufacturing of sustainable and renewable green products. They will talk about how to satisfy the growing global demand for lumber while reducing overlogging and air pollution.
