Sustainable manufacturing efforts can range from simple activities to complex overhauls of processes. Examples include:
- Turning off equipment when it’s not in use,
- Switching to LED lighting and adding motion sensors to lights,
- Using recycled materials in the manufacturing process,
- Reusing valuable materials that are typically discarded as waste,
- Upgrading existing equipment to more energy-efficient options,
- Switching to renewable energy sources (e.g., solar and hydropower), and
- Replacing materials with safer, healthier alternatives.
