This document discusses green manufacturing. It defines green manufacturing as preventing pollution and waste by developing new processes that reduce or eliminate hazardous substances. The goals of green manufacturing are to identify, quantify, assess, and manage environmental waste flows to minimize environmental impact while maximizing resource efficiency. Benefits include environmental protection, improved company reputation and social responsibility, and new research and technology development opportunities. Challenges include the long-term effort, upfront investment costs, and increased production costs required. The document provides examples of Panasonic's energy-efficient air conditioners and more fuel-efficient asphalt highways.

3. Manufacturing plays a very strategic
role in an organization, especially to
build competitive advantage and
improve performance.
With rapid changes in technology,
customer needs and globalization,
manufacturing itself is constantly
transforming and evolving.

4. What is Green manufacturing?
“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.”
• By
The center for Green Manufacturing University of
Alabama defines the goal of green manufacturing as

5. What is Green manufacturing?
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.
• Definition

7. Why Green Manufacturing is so important?
Due to the recent global climate, humans have started to realize the
vulnerability of nature and the disasters it may bring as response of our
negligence. The following are the recent stresses on our environment
• As much fresh water has been withdrawn in the last 30
1 years as in the last three centuries
• The rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide
between 1970 and 2000 is nearly double that between
2 1960 and 1970.
• Carbon emissions have increased by more than 1.5
3 times since 1970
• Carbon emissions have increased by more than 1.5
4 times since 1970
• Industrial waste. “Minimize at source”.

9. Benefits
• The goal of Green Manufacturing is to reduce
waste to zero.
• This will definitely improves the ecology and
stop pollution.

Benefits

10. Benefits
• The company is said to have social responsibility and
this reputation means a lot to the company
• The society now is fonder to environmental friendly
products
• Zero waste policy

Benefits

11. Benefits
• Green Manufacturing spins off a lot of research
and development projects.
• Each of these projects enhances our technology.
3.Technological
Benefits

12. Implementation
• Production process here involves the product
design and process design.
• Waste reduction.
• Recyclable materials should be used.
• Reduce wastes in energy.

Process

13. Implementation
• ISO 14000 environmental management standards
exist to help organizations.
• ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted
specification for an environmental management
system (EMS).
2.International
Organization for
Standardization

14. Implementation
• WEEE - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
• RoHS - Restriction of Hazardous Substances.
• ELV -End of Life Vehicle directives.

16. Example
Panasonic's ECONAVI - the intelligent
eco-sensor feature further reducing energy
consumption in air conditioners by up to
30%
Increased Energy Savings

18. Fuel Efficiency & Green Highways
Flexible Asphalt Absorbs Energy – Rigid Concrete Doesn’t

19. The charts show a range of potential annual
fuel savings and reductions in pollutant
emissions that could be achieved if the US
Highway was paved with concrete rather
than asphalt.
