1. GREEN MANUFACTURING

2. GREEN MANUFACTURING “We borrow the Earth from our descendants”
Depletion of resources
Polluting the environment

3. GREEN MANUFACTURING Enables economic progress
Minimize pollution and waste
Conserve resources

4. GREEN MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing methods that support and sustain a renewable way of producing products and/or services that do no harm to you nor the environment. 

5. POLLUTANTS Careless disposal of waste Newly identified toxins
"Big Company problem"...right?
Toxic hazards present in everyday household products
- Food
- Synthetic fragrance

6. POLLUTANTS
"Many times, because of extensive use, we assume a product is safe.  But any chemical ingredient warrants a closer look, no matter how long it's been on the market. We need to ask ourselves whether we should be careful of using such ingredients on a daily basis, and if necessary, we should explore other options for our customers.”

7. CHOICES Use natural raw ingredients, including organics
Do not use hazardous chemical conditioners, chemical anti-bacterials or chemical preservatives
Use botanically-derived,colour, spices etc
Cold manufacturing process for soap

8. DEPLETION OF RESOURCES & INCREASING POLLUTION
As much fresh water has been withdrawn in the last 30 years as in the last three centuries.
Globally, there is a 160 billion cubic meter overdraft of groundwater per year.
The rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide between 1970 and 2000 is nearly double that between 1960 and 1970 (1.5 ppm vs ppm per year).

9. DEPLETION OF RESOURCES & INCREASING POLLUTION
Carbon emissions have increased by more than 1.5 times since 1970.
The U.S., EU and Japan are by far the world’s biggest producers of solid waste, with the U.S. at about 14 times that of Japan and the EU combined.
Solid waste strategies: In Japan, it’s "Minimize at source"; In Europe, it’s "Producer responsibility"; In the U.S., it’s "There’s always more space

10. WASTE GENERATION
Manufacturing generates maximum wastes

12. NATURAL RESOURCES Natural resources are vital to - Economic activity
- Personal satisfaction
- Health
Need to be preserved for future generation
balancing environmental and business needs

13. COST & GREEN PRACTICES
Gap remains between societal benefits and private business benefits. But that gap may be narrowing
Examples
- Compact fluorescent lightbulbs,
- Software distribution via the Internet,
- Hybrid electric vehicles
- More efficient refrigeration

14. IS IT WIN WIN What's good for the environment is good for business ?
Regulation can confer specific and narrow benefits on some firms at the expense of others.
Example : Montreal Protocol
Wiped out the market for commodity CFCs
Benefited Dupont and ICI

15. SUSTAINABILITY
Using regulatory actions to secure production cost advantages
Sugar Industry : bagasse & mud paste
Molasses to Alcohol
- What remains after taking out alcohol
- Highly toxic
- Discharged on land or in to river

16. SUSTAINABILITY
Metalworking fluids (emulsions of oil, water and stabilizing agents)
- 12 percent of metals manufacturing costs
- Limited reuse & high cost of disposal
-Environment friendly vegetable oil substitutes
-Microfiltration techniques to extend the useful life of these fluids virtually indefinitely

17. SUSTAINABILITY Public and industry awareness campaigns
Adding business value can drive environmental solutions to "self-assemble“
Corporate involvement

18. GLOBAL MARKET Overseas environmental regulations
Growing consumer demand for a new generation of environmentally friendly products
Green products and production techniques are a competitive weapon
Example (1)
European directorate for the environment said it would eliminate brominated flame retardants used in electronics

19. GLOBAL MARKET Siemens could not find a replacement
Sony Corp. produced a viable alternative
Example (2)
-New clean air emissions limits for
automobiles
-Honda and Toyota produced new engines to meet and exceed requirements.
