Title: GREEN MANUFACTURING


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  • As much fresh water has been withdrawn in the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. 0.88 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 worlds
    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, its "Minimize
    at source" In Europe, its "Producer
    responsibility" In the U.S., its "Theres
    always more space

10
WASTE GENERATION
  • Manufacturing generates maximum wastes

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

14
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

15
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

16
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

17
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

18
SUSTAINABILITY
  • Public and industry awareness campaigns
  • Adding business value can drive environmental
    solutions to "self-assemble
  • Corporate involvement

19
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

20
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.
