3. Introduction
• To prevent pollution and save energy
through the discovery and development
of new knowledge that reduces and/or
eliminates the use or generation of
hazardous substances in the design,
manufacture, and application of
chemical products or processes.
• It is a system that integrates product and
process design issues with issues of
manufacturing, planning and control in
such a manner as to identify, quantify,
assess, and manage the flow of
environmental waste with the goal of
reducing and ultimately minimizing
environmental impact while also trying
to maximize resource efficiency.

4. Why is it so important and goals?
The primary goal of green manufacturing is to conserve
energy and prevent pollution. This is accomplished by
reducing or completely removing hazardous substances
produced as byproducts during the manufacturing
process.
Green manufacturing can be viewed from the
perspective of producing green products to be used by
consumers and/or producing traditional products in
such a way that is less harmful to the environment.
Green manufacturers focus on reducing pollution,
conserving energy and natural resources, and making
safer products for consumers. Many of these companies
strictly adhere to green production standards
established by ISO and LEED, as well as green supply
chain management principles.

5. Benefits of Green
Manufacturing
• Anything that serves to promote a cleaner environment undoubtedly has numerous benefits. For
starters, green manufacturing can significantly reduce air and water pollution. Traditional
manufacturing processes focus heavily on processing raw materials at the expense of the environment.
Green manufacturing not only represents a change in the way these materials are handled, it also
emphasizes responsible waste management and recycling in post-production.
• Energy conservation is another important benefit of green manufacturing. Using repurposed scrap
metal, for instance, uses much less energy than the production of steel from raw materials such as
iron, coal, and limestone.
• Green manufacturers have a documented competitive advantage when it comes to winning
government contracts, as many of these are designated specifically for green building and
manufacturing. These companies may also see an uptick in sales, as many consumers feel better about
supporting companies that share their eco-friendly values.

6. Impacts of Green Manufacture
• Green manufacturing can lead to
lower raw material costs,
production efficiency gains,
reduced environmental and
occupational safety expenses,
and improved corporate image
• The relationship between green
practices and performance
outcomes has been subject to
numerous studies but the results
are not conclusive.

8. Applications of Green Manufacture
• The car manufacturing companies while tackling their carbon, water and energy
footprint, are also looking for innovative ways for reducing their operational costs.
These often include green manufacturing initiatives apart from the usual
innovations in product design and efficiency.
• Newer renewable sources of energy, lesser water consumption and better waste
management are integral part of the innovative production processes. Plant level
investments by the giant car manufacturers have off-late paid off in complying
with government regulations as well as create a green image in the minds of the
consumers.The below sections will explore some of these specific innovative
initiatives taken by well-known car manufacturing giants.

9. Continue.......
• Green Building certifications are being taken by the companies likeToyota, GM, etc for both their
production sites as well as non-manufacturing facilities (Nunes and Bennett, 2010). Not only that
they have developed “green power” to reduce oil dependency in their plants by generation of
electricity through landfill gas, wind and solar energy and also reduce CO2 emissions by substituting
cleaner fossil fuels for coal (Nunes and Bennett, 2010).
• The authors also reported use lightweight materials and elimination or reduction ofVOCs, use of
waterborne paint sprayers, water-based solvents as few other innovative process changes.
• Toyota’sTsutsumi plant not only produces half the electricity consumed through solar energy,
discharges water in the river which is 5 times cleaner that the river itself but also painted its factory
with photo-catalytic paint that release Oxygen in the surrounding areas in presence of sunlight
(Toyota Prius Brochure, 2009).

10. Continue
• Ford spent a huge part of its $2 billion at its River Rouge Manufacturing complex for
creating the world’s largest living roof which can absorb 4 million gallons of storm-water
each year (PWC report 2013).
• This not only helps reduce storm water runoff but also provides insulating qualities saving
energy for heating and cooling and reducing total energy cost of the factory by 7% every
year. SimilarlyGM recycles 90% of its worldwide manufacturing wastes and has 100 landfill
free facilities worldwide (PWC report 2013).
• Volkswagen’sChattanooga plant is the only automotive manufacturing plant globally to
achieved Platinum Certification from Green Building’s Council’s Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) (PWC report 2013).This plant saves 1.7 million gallons of
portable water through rain water harvesting, saves 720, 000 Kilowatts per year of energy
through superior insulation and white reflective roof and use of LED lightings results in
68% less energy used.
